[CatherineofAragon]

"Not angry just sad. You are behaving like the godless liberals who obfuscate, cherrypick and do virtually anything to buttress their flawed arguments and persuade the ignorant. Just the same, Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum."

Allendale, I don't want nor intend to anger you. But calling for tolerance while posting in denial of God's word is the liberal way of doing things.

So is deflecting and refusing to answer questions. So here goes, for the fifth or sixth time:

Do you think Jesus was lying when He referred to the first man and woman?

Was Paul?

If you insist on running away without answering those questions, everyone here will know all they need to know about you.

How many times must you be told? Jesus does not lie and Paul did not deceive. However they used Hebrew scriptures, allegory and symbolism to reinforce that of the old as well as to teach and explain the new. They made themselves understandable to the people of the time. If you take the translated words literally, you make fundamental errors that end up leading people away from God. And yes much of the Bible is allegorical and symbolic as was all literature at the time
