—One was the contradictory nature of the Bible;—
IOW, she had no personal relationship with Christ. The Bible is not the foundation of the relationship. It enhances it.
Do I stop believing my wife exists if I find apparent contradictions in her diary?
I suspect Mizz MacBain’s problem wasn’t so much that the Bible is “contradictory,” but that it was contradicting HER.
No. First of all you can see and talk to your wife. Second weather or not your wife’s diary contained lies does not have any bearing on her existence. That is a silly analogy.
Maybe this woman is wrong and maybe she is right. I applaud her for standing on her own judgement. She has looked at the evidence and come to a different conclusion, that’s all.
This statement accepts the premise that there are contradictions in the Bible.
