Divine Inspiration

[Godscreated]

Can a man be three separate entities at once, and yet all one thing? Can people come back from the dead after three days? Of all the in-fighting among Christians regarding biblical interpretation, this seems to be the one supernatural claim everyone is happy to accept as literally true. How can a Christian poo-poo at the idea of a talking donkey, but not at the resurrection? Is it because that’s the one claim you HAVE to believe in order to call yourself a Christian? If so, that’s some rather circular reasoning.

I agree with your idea, Christians can't pick and choose which stories they want to believe and then push aside those they think people will condemn them for. To put some correction to your post, God is not a man and Jesus was far more than a man, He is God and man at the same time. Yes the donkey talked, why not, God created the universe in six days it wouldn't have been a great chore for Him to make a donkey talk. You have pointed out a real problem in the Christian church of today, they ignore or pass off the simple miracles and accept the one they use for insurance to stay out of hell. If a Christian can't believe in the simple miracles then I'm not sure they believe in the power of the God they are looking to for salvation and resurrection.

If biblical writers had been divinely inspired by god, wouldn't their writings have matched what we know today according to science? Since it doesn't, clearly those men were only inspired by their imaginations.

 You have that backwards, science is catching up to the Bible. The bible tells us the stars in the heavens are innumerable man discounted this for thousands of years. The unicorn the Bible speaks of was the rhinoceros not a horned horse. The horned horse was first introduced in fairy tales and then this horse was attributed to the Bible's word for rhino. The Bible is unchanging unlike science which is always changing and eventually the real science will come around and agree with what the Bible says.
