Quote:To me this sentence says you don't believe in the resurrection, but if I were incapable of reading English or I lied, I would say that means you believe people can actually come back from the dead, or that means that you have actually seen someone come back from the dead, or worse you have been there and done it.
I don't care too much whether people believe what the Bible says, but I hate it when they make false claims about what it says.
This is going on all the time by professed believers and non believers.
If the scriptures contain what appears to be mythological nonsense, it is correct to say that the scriptures appear to be mythology.
If the scriptures contain what appear to be immoral divine behaviours or unconscionable commands, then commenting on those issues is acceptable.
It's as simple as that.
