"But what about the moderates?"
RE: "But what about the moderates?"
(December 15, 2014 at 5:28 pm)Vicki Q Wrote: I'm really not sure that's the case at all.

Why do we need to know, for example, whether someone called Moses actually lead the Jewish nation out of Egyptian slavery? It doesn't affect at all my actions, or my decision to follow Jesus. It makes a crucial part of the meta-narrative, but that works whether or not it is wholly, partly, or not at all true. The historicity is irrelevant.

It is absolutely vital to know if Genesis 1-3 represent historical fact. If they didn't, not one single word in the Bible is relevant or valid. The entire meta-narrative falls apart if the Original Sin is a mere metaphor.

If Moses is a fictional legend, God might be, too.
