Nah, David was just cracking jokes and Goliath rolled on the floor with laughter shouting, “Stop it Davy, you’re killin’ me!”

Oops! The bishops and ministers of the liturgical and “mainline” churches haven’t done their jobs!

[Obie Wan]

Christians are funny that way. We actually BELIEVE what the Bible says !!!

[mware]

Non-mainline Protestants were more likely to accept the resurrection as fact (95 percent) compared to mainline Protestants (83 percent) and Catholics (82 percent).

Things are worse than I though, this is the principle doctrine of our faith.

Could Jesus have literally built the temple
back up in three days?

[Tennessean4Bush]

Three out of four adults (75 percent) said they interpreted the crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of Christ as literal truth.

Just as Paul said, there is no gospel unless it is true.

"Although the more highly educated respondents were less likely to take the story literally..."

Oh here we go.......

Ya know, folks.........it just ROYALLY chaps my rather HIGHLY educated arse to read bovine excrement such as this. "Oh, the rubes believe this, but not the intelligentsia......of course........"

B.S. The Bible is THE word, period, end of discussion, end of argument. If it says it, I believe it....and it has never, ever been proven wrong.

Far better track record than any liberal blather, wouldn't we agree?

[Terriergal]

I would like to see how many of these also believe in a hell and in eternal judgement?

[R. Scott]

I have no problem with most Biblical stories. What’s so surprising about David and Goliath? Slingers were a major component of armies of the day. A shot from a sling was deadly. It was the classic case of a man (Goliath) armed only with a knife showing up at a gunfight (David’s sling). David was however, the only one with the courage to stand up to the big guy. Many of the miracles of the Bible have been explained as natural phenomena. The miracle was in their timing. They happened when they were needed.

America could not have been founded without Christianity. In that sense, Jesus certainly rose from the dead.

Most Americans Believe Jesus Rose from Dead, David Killed Goliath Literally

What? David killing Goliath is a metaphor?

"On the one hand we have tens of millions of people who view these narratives as reflections of the reality, the authority and the involvement of God in our lives. On the other hand, a majority of those same people harbor a stubborn indifference toward God and His desire to have intimacy with them. In fact, a minority of the people who believe these stories to be true consistently apply the principles imbedded in these stories within their own lives,” Barna continued.

That's because believing is easier than behaving.
