"Saaida Gaon said that if there is scientific evidence of something and it contradicts what Torah (Scripture) says, the Torah can't be wrong and science can't be wrong. I'm wrong. I'm interpreting it wrong,' the rabbi explained."
It's muddled thinking like this which has allowed Amoral relativists to set the agenda in this country. "I'm interpreting it wrong", lets everyone decide what to pick and choose. A straightforward reading has no significance. No wonder the Constitution has been so adulterated.
Genesis, for instance, says the world was created in seven days. "There's no compelling reason for us to say a day is 24 hours," Vale said. "There's no reason to say God could not create the world through evolution."
The fact that Genesis explains that God created a male and a female at the beginning (Adam & Eve) excludes the "evolution" interpretation.
It is comments like these that let Barbara Streisand's develope.
Do you believe there is a true spiritual interpretation - the one known in Heaven - to the Word of God? (see my other posts on this thread and respond, please)
I thought it was a great article... people of faith can differ without name calling though. Where I come from, calling someone 'Barbara Streisand' is fighting words ;-)
Relativists don't "interpret worng[ly]." They discard what they are uncomfortable with, or make unreasonable interpretations. To copy form my previous post:
You need not fear a slippery slope leading from a recognition of how to read a myth to the apostasy of the modernists who read everything as myth and deny the resurrection of Christ: There are passages of the bible to assert what is not only myth, but what is also history: Luke 1:1-4; John 20:30-31 and 21:24-25; 1st John 1:1-4; 1 Cor 15: 15-29; 2 Tim 2:18.
Passages such as those guide us away from discounting all of the bible as being myth, as modernists do.
