Yes, that’s the verse I was talking about. If Genesis is allegory, then Luke is including a fictional character in Jesus’ genealogy.

I think you're missing the point of the discussion.

Have you been following the conversation between the different posters about the Bible being allegory and the implications of that?

[Mr. Silverback]

I need you to rephrase that, as I have no idea why you’re thinking I’m a materialist.

To elaborate...

If Genesis is history, Adam was a real person.

If Genesis is allegory, he’s a fictional character who has no business being referred to as the ancestor of a real person.

If Genesis is allegorical, as Buck says, what is he doing in a real person’s genealogy?

You don’t have to answer that, but that’s what he and I were discussing. I believe Genesis is history.

Ah...

Looks like you are getting CLOSE to finding where the UNTRUTHFULLNESS of PRESBYTERIANism lies!
