[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 76251529, member: 293637"] This is going to depend a lot on the particular approach to the Bible the Christian has. I don't subscribe to inerrantism, and tend to view much of the Old Testament as Israel's wrestling with God, the revelation of God to Israel is very real; but the ways in which the ancients wrote about their historical relationship between themselves and God is written from their perspective, not necessarily from God's perspective. Being 100% literally true in all details is a lot less important than the larger picture which Christians, by faith, understand as ultimately pointing toward Jesus. The purpose of the Bible in Christianity isn't to be a book of inerrant history and science, but to be the Christ-bearing text from which we can hear about God's work of saving, healing, and rescuing the world through Jesus Christ. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
