Why Christians Attack Evolution

[discipulus]

You stated you did not know the difference between a collection of stories and a collection of different literary works comprising upwards of ten different genres.

The majority of the new testament's 27 works are letters of correspondence in which the letter writer intends to encourage and exhort his friends in the midst of hard times. To encourage them to love one another and practice virtuous living in the midst of persecution in a pagan Roman Empire. Sometimes the correspondence is person to person, most often it is from one person to a group of people. So these letters are not stories. That is my point.

So, you only follow the New Testament, then? And there are stories in there. Without even cracking my Bible I can think of quite a few off the top of my head. The parables, especially. You can call it letters of correspondence, but they are stories.

Again, if you could just go ahead and describe what the Bible means to you and why you follow it, that would be great.

Stating that the majority of the new testament consists of letters of correspondence does not mean I only follow the new testament.

I think you need to open your Bible and read these letters I am referring to.
