Is this a contradiction or am I reading it wrong? Genesis 5:28
RE: Is this a contradiction or am I reading it wrong? Genesis 5:28
(March 30, 2023 at 10:02 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: Yeah, that is a clever meme. In all seriousness though, just because textual ambiguities allow for multiple interpretations of a text does not mean said text can mean whatever you want it to...unless you want to argue for a very extreme position of post-modern semiotics or a Borges-like fantasy world.

What method do you and the various christian sects use to solve the textual ambiguities?
And if you have solved the textual ambiguities, then why haven’t you rewritten the Bible without those textual ambiguities?

I think that was part of my question a while back but you did not answer:
Is there an Adam and Eve? Were they in the Garden of Eden? Was there a talking snake? Was there a tree of knowledge of good and evil and a tree of life?
