Yet the bible says he did. What is your criteria for dismissing this story as false while holding others as true?
Well....as far as I know, and by the Bible's own admission, God's hand wrote the Ten Commandments. All else is suspect....including anti-theist comments and their interpretations of scripture!
That said, the Holy Spirit is the real Teacher. Like a "workers manual", the Holy Bible is a working guide. But nothing compares to being taught, and experiencing first hand the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
Writings only take us so far. And to base EVERYTHING on what men (in any situation) tell us? Is...well... foolish! Oui?
God is a living God. He doesn't reside in a book!
Quis ut Deus?
