Everytime a Biblical literalist gets his chance to respond literal to Biblical passages he says that the passages have to be interpreted in context with all the other passages in the Bible.
So who insists that the whole Bible be taken literally and doesn’t recognize poetry, parable, songs, allegory, metaphor, etc?
Please provide sources to demonstrate that people like that exist.
“Everytime a Biblical literalist gets his chance to respond literal to Biblical passages he says that the passages have to be interpreted in context with all the other passages in the Bible.”
The “Bible” itself being originallty written a few hundred years after the events, in Armaic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.
Then of all the books, some selected for inclusion, some excluded. Then translated to English and to other modern languages.
Then interpreted from pulpits across the faire lande by preachers, by laypersons.
And I keep asking the creation scientists to list all of the species at the time of the flood, describe the necessary sized vessel to hold them, and show that technology was available to build such a vessel.
No takers yet. Surely with only 6,000 years of history to sort through, it should be easy to conjur up evidence of the type I request.
The creation scientists nit pick every gap in millions of years of natural history, yet consistently fail to provide scientific evidence of their claims.
