Of so now you are making your own opinion of an error based bible, based on what exactly?
Something you will never accept, not in this world, but perhaps in another.
No, covering the highest mountains pretty much explains the authors intent, in context. You know killing ALL the animals and bad people.
But I am happy that you do not run with a global flood, but what kind of a flood do you think happened and what exact date would tat be?
It was not mountains. Not all the animals. You can't kill fish in water. It spoke of a land. It always speak of that in literal terms, only when you go into it deeper does it mean more, hence the reason it is sometimes translated that way.
The historical flood date is not important to me. Dates and times, I have found, are hard to pinpoint. It is also not important. A flood on a land happens many times over in many lands. So there are there then MANY floods.
Do you have evidence the bible is 100% fiction free?
It is spiritually discerned. You seem to not understand what kind of book you read.
But some of it was not spoken in parables and perfectly clear in intent. It is understood perfectly by historians and scholars in many places.
There is less mystery here then you think, when one actually takes classes and learns from professors, instead of just reading oneself with no direction.
It is all a parable in one sense as there is always the esoteric meaning to understand. It is very involved. It becomes so big that you just begin to accept it as to understand it all would be to understand the mind of God.
Professors and historians have their place. But they are not going to understand it all. I have told you this many times over.
You see, you cannot argue, as you do, about a Book that you do not believe in, in the first place! If you going to accept it sufficiently to argue it, then you must accept it all. Then you will have to accept that it is spiritually discerened and that you are deluded (2thess2). You would also have to accept that the theologians will not know either (Cor)
Accept this or not. But I think I know what your answer will be, even if not your motives.
Have a good new year!
