I understand all the development and translations which took place in church history. I also don’t take all things in the Bible (Old and New) as literally. (Jesus said “I am the door”)
However, the Old Testement does contain deep truths of God, historical facts, examples for us etc..... and cannot be shrugged off as a burden.
That being said, “We see through a glass darkly, but then face to face”. have a good night.
If you don’t take all things in the Bible as literal why would you possibly take the Genesis account of creation as anything but an allegory. It has all the earmarks of one. All evidence shows the earth is much much older than 6,000 years and there is no reason you can’t believe in Christ and scientific reality at the same time. I would dare say God wants man to be rational not a superstitious savage.
