I used to rely on logic in reading the scriptures...And like you, I was all over the place...
Then I got saved...I no longer use or need logic...
The scriptures are illogical...They don't make much sense to a person using man's logic...They are foolishness to the natural man...
That's why you guys have to throw out 90% of scripture and call it an allegory...you just don't get it...It doesn't compute to you guys...
Being “saved” does not cause us to stop using our brains.
Theology has occupied brilliant minds. Augustine, Aquinas, Newman - I will even throw in Luther.
Who exactly are “you guys” and who says anyone is throwing out 90% of scripture as allegory?
