    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    No, it wouldn’t spoil my faith if the flood turned out to be local. However, I believe it was world-wide.

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    I’ll be more clear then... Sometimes, you just have to believe what’s written. The moment you read into scripture (because it conflicts with what you’re told by scientists to be true), that’s when you’ve lost the point and ended up in cycles of endless interpretation, “light years” away from Truth.

    It’s not ALL interpretation. Sometimes, you just have to read it for what it states and believe that.

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    Goodness, that’s just not true. Question: do you believe wealth defines human value? Furthermore, do you believe a person’s residence, defines their intelligence, knowledge, or value?

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    Oh, I don’t kid myself that I have all the answers. Rather the opposite. However when it comes down to who I choose to put my faith and trust in, I choose God, rather than man. I’ve no reason to doubt God.

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    1. The talking snake doesn’t bother me at all, since humans (and likely all creatures) spoke in one tongue (or could each be understood). The snake lost his voice later (extra-Biblical account). 2. I believe he was a literal snake and the entire account was literal. I’ve no reason to doubt...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    None of this troubles my mind. However, I’m still unclear on whether the Bible has it written of six (dusk to dawn) days or if I’m missing something. Regardless, God certainty could have made creation in six (Biblical days.

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    If Adam and Eve is allegory, what is there to be understood of the fall of man? The removal of the station of “the serpent”? The very reason for death? The reason we need a saviour? Furthermore, if Adam and Eve didn’t happen, what else didn’t happen? The flood? The confounding of language...

    Attention All Creationists, Here's Your Big Chance

    “So offended”? No, I wasn’t, “so offended”. I simply found your comment to be rude and decided to tell you as much. Furthermore, I’m not at all concerned with being perceived as right by those who don’t share my beliefs. I believe as I do and that’s my decision. As I stated before, there are...

    As you seem to enjoy telling others here... “Wrong, try again.”

    Attention All Creationists, Here's Your Big Chance

    Calling God, or anyone’s god “weak” is incredibly rude, especially if this is supposed to be a forum for all religions and views to exist, tolerant of one another.
