Jesus Christ appears in Lebanon!!

[Dotard]

Dotard, you are correct that it is up to us to decide how we understand the Bible's claims and the more you study the Bible the history etc you are equipped to understand when things are literal and when they are not

How, exactly are you "more equipped"?

You'd have to commit to considerable time exploring this claim of mine by reading the bible to see what I mean.

Thou arn't assuming I have not read the bible are thou?

...as I know my own interpretation is just as likely to be incorrect.

Truthfully, it is just as valid as any other theist's opinion.

I, Catherine, find enough 'order' and clear talking, in the bible to enable me to understand it's overall message,...

And I, Dotard, also find much clear talking and understanding of the overall message. I bet we would agree on what that message is.

...unambiguous talk (in my opinion) is when Jesus says: ''do to others what you would have them do to you'' Matt 7:12. '' Forgive people when they do wrong things to you. If you forgive them, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.'' Matt 6:14- again, that seems quite clear to me.

Agreed. Very unambiguous and clear in their intended meanings.

That statement is the article writer's opinion.

Stupid writers. Actually that whole article was the writer's opinion.

Once you have a knowledge or understanding of the whole of the Bible, or history of God and his people etc, then you would understand, even if you didn't believe it, that the transfiguration, wasn't just a magic light show and that Jesus wasn't lying..

OMG! You were assuming I haven't read and have no understanding of the bible! Bad CR! Bad!

Seriously CR. I have read the bible cover to cover. I have no problems understanding it. I have very good reading comprehension thank you very much. I understand the history of this God and the early adherents to his existance and subsequently Jesus and his disciples.
Go ahead, ask me something historical about any of it.
