Is this a contradiction or am I reading it wrong? Genesis 5:28
#50
RE: Is this a contradiction or am I reading it wrong? Genesis 5:28
And since the point is fairy tales, not fairies, this bit may be more germane:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_tale


Quote:fairy tale (alternative names include fairytalefairy storymagic tale, or wonder tale) is a short story that belongs to the folklore genre. Such stories typically feature magic, enchantments, and mythical or fanciful beings. In most cultures, there is no clear line separating myth from folk or fairy tale; 

In other words, fairies are not a necessary component of fairy tales. I don’t think anyone can sensibly argue that the Bible doesn’t include ‘magic, enchantments, and mythical or fanciful beings.’ Some of the stories in the Bible certainly qualify.
