The Bible

[fr0d0]

You think it is my personal interpretation and I say it isn't. Many Christians do waffle on about eternal life. You'll find that it's a quite outdated interpretation though. Who said you were straying from the topic? I didn't. You say the Bible myths are fact. I don't. We're still talking about the same Bible. You're just interpreting it differently to me. I take Jesus's words at face value. Literally would be a stretch, as he spoke in a certain style.

You must've misread my comment about the coming Christ. Irrefutable evidence concerning a drug induced vision? Are you crazy? You think there's hard fact in there??

HOWEVER, when it was written, the Bible was written as factual. These people were writing how they thought it might of happened (in other words, they were writing a hypothesis). Many of the stories were based on legends passed down over the ages, accepted as truth.

In this way, the Bible was written as a scientific book. It told stories as literal events. Just because modern science has disproved its claims, doesn't mean it wasn't written originally as claims about reality.

That is absolute nonsense. Back that up.

'Truth' in context is 'eternal truth' - which it is. 'Spiritual truth' - which it is. NONE of it is scientific in nature and never ever has been. This is clearly understood throughout sensible history. The odd fool has considered it fact, that's all such a proposition ever can be. Foolish.
