So you profess yourself to be a Christian. Do you believe that the Bible is the unfallible word of God? That all scripture is God breathed? If not, where do you draw the line? What is real and what isn't? Does it simply make you feel good that you are part of a church? Those of us that really know the Truth are sick of trying to keep you from screwing it up. If that feels like arrogance to you, then read your Bible.
Nope. Where do I draw the line? That's what theology is, right?
I'll say it again. If you're a strict literalist then you and I both agree that there are parts of the Bible that are literal and parts that are to be interpreted/symbolic. We just disagree on which parts.
And if a part turns out to be in conflict with good science, then I readdress my intepretation. I don't rationalize a way to pretend the realities presented to me are not real.
I believe the proper term here is "those of us who THINK we really know the Truth."
Does the quote "vanity of vanities, all is vanity" ring a bell?
