I’ve recently been asking my Christian acquaintances this question and I have not received, to my understanding, a satisfactory answer.
First, let’s just stipulate that I am conversant in scripture, both Old and New Testament. And I grasp the commonly held fundamental dogma of modern Christianity.
My question is:
Regardless of whether or not God exists, whether there is a Heaven or Hell, whether or not Christ lives and has the power to save… does the literal, historical accuracy of the Bible matter? If so, why?
I contend that it does not.
