"I refuse to limit God."
You misread my post, you limited God by saying He could not lie. You also will not accept that God, as well as creating things in the blink of an eye, can create things over long periods of time.
I do accept God's Word as Truth. What I don't blindly accept is the words of men held in Mesopotamia away from their own tribes for a couple generations.
Yes, God inspired the Bible, but don't you think it's possible for Man to screw it up somewhere along the line? Man wrote it down after all. Or did you forget the fact that there is more than one language the Bible is written in?
Moses didn't record the events, his followers did. The Hebrew tribes had an oral tradition until about 900 B.C., Moses was around in the 1,200's I believe, I'll have to check my notes.
And yes, Man's logic is fallible. BTW, you're of Man. So was the hand that put Genesis to paper. And the one after it and the one after it and so on. If you've ever played a game of telephone, you will know that it will change, even if the general message remains, something changes.
I accept the Word of God as Truth. I also accept the Word of God may have been simply put into Man's context for simpliciy's sake.
If you feel that putting politics in is for example, then I have this to say: The KKK and the Nazi Party use(d) literal quotes from the Bible to excuse their hatred. Slavery was backed by parables in the New Testament. The Church has a history of waging war to convert or kill those that would not believe.
Myself, I believe God and my relationship to Him is between myself and Him. And when I am married, He will be a part of that as well. However, organized religion is a human device, and should be recognized as such. I do not mean to discredit the MANY good and great things from the Church over history, but keep in mind, even the Pope is fallible.
You've twisted my words (again). I have never said God could NOT create things over a long period a time, only that He said He did not. He says six literal days and since there is no reason to doubt His word, I won't do it.
You seem to doubt the inerrancy of Scripture which is the root of your confusion.
As for the Klan and Nazi's, they took texts out of context -- something I am not doing here -- so you comparison is a mere insult and not relevant.
Regardless -- it seems we're on uneven footing here and further discourse won't avail us anything if you aren't interested in changing your views.
