I am only baffled, as I asked of you before, to identify what "it" is. I am not baffled in the fact that either: (a) you do not know what "it" is, or (b) you choose not to disclose what "it" is.
Because there are parts that are not believable.
I think you mean that this response is to the explicit question, "Why do you not believe in the text of the Bible?" is it not? (where "it" refers to "this response")
As a favor, please, I beg you, refer me to one selection of Holy Scripture that is to you unbelievable -- a passage in the Bible that hinders you from believing in the Bible as a whole -- and tell me why you estimate that you cannot reconcile that passage with a truth. Eh?
Could the first sentence of the first chapter of the first book of Torah be one such passage (in my translation denominated as Genesis 1:1)?
Are you talking about the ‘it’ in my #3? If so, that is about the clarification you provided about how God communicates with you.
I do not dis-believe the Bible as a whole, just the parts that I have read that are not believable;
- Revelation, about a dragon
- burning bushes and talking animals
- the flood and the whole Noah story with the animals
- Jonah
- virgin birth
- the Resurrection
- the forgiveness of sins
- water into wine and other miracles
- the guys that got tied up and thrown in the fire by a king
- the story of Adam and Eve
- the existence of hell
- walking on water
- the Trinity
- the creation story
- sin
- parting of the Red Sea
- demons
- satan
- the need for salvation
there’s probably more, but I haven’t read the entire book. To me these are some of the unbelievable things in the bible. I do not believe any of it happened so to me, it’s unbelievable.
The parts about people begatting and wars and names and lineages, stuff like that are believable. These are things that happen on a regular basis throughout history.
While I believe that all things are possible with God, I do not know if that is actually true.
