Again, this is one viewpoint, and not an orthodox one.

I guess the question is "what is your viewpoint?"

I guess the question is "what is your viewpoint?"

I come down on "divinely inspired" rather than "divinely dictated". As far as the miracle accounts, I first and foremost read them literally, but I am also aware of the more figurative/mystical interpretations of the same passages. I think it is a "both/and" rather than an "either/or".
