| | :I personally hold to the idea of limited Biblical Inerrancy, however most of the stories in it are based on '''History''' (although frequently changed by author bias, or changes during the oral tradition). The Authors did not intend on writing a simple novel. The wrote what they believed as Truth. Even though modern science calls the historic, geographic, and scientific statements into question, it still provides what should be common sense morals and ideas. It shows a loving God who cares for us, desires us to be good, not a people hating "Volcano" god. I have gotten something out of it, ideas about life, and thanks to my Jewish friends, humor (Apparently the OT is riddled with Yiddish humor). That's my rant. I dare you to counter it. --[[User:Capercorn]] <small> [[User Talk:Capercorn|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Capercorn|contribs]] </small> 21:37, 7 February 2008 (EST) | | :I personally hold to the idea of limited Biblical Inerrancy, however most of the stories in it are based on '''History''' (although frequently changed by author bias, or changes during the oral tradition).

| | + | ::Normally, I would agree with you. But the danger is that some people out there are taking this book of morales WORD FOR WORD. Sure the bible has some good stories in it (ex: Noah's Ark, The Garden of Eden.) But these stories were created to illustrate a morale point or issue, to guide them in the right direction. It be used as scientific fact to counter evolution, or the Big Bang, per say. It was not written for that purpose. [[User:CSargent|CSargent]] 13:54, 9 December 2011 (EST) |
