I was only asking a question.
Seemed a bit more than that to me...oh well
After reviewing it, it was a veiled at best accusation, and the animosity was clear.
No matter, just wondered where it came from but if you'd rather not say..
On your post:
Oh, so some parts are meant to be read literally while others not? Isnt that picking and choosing what suits your view?
Yes, some parts of the bible are meant to be taken literally and some are not, just like in any conversation anyone might have that has nothing to do with the bible, that's just the way it is.
Yes, I choose to pick out what is to be taken literally and what is not in order to properly respond to any conversation, I mean you do want a proper response, correct? If we pay attention to context, we don't have to choose what suits our view, as generally all will see what is and what isn't literal as the same. It would be dishonest to pick and choose to suit my view, not to mention, since, as i say, people generally agree if literal or not as long as they keep up with the context, so if we change that for our own purposes, we would most definitely get caught.
TMI? Sure is, much more than I wanted to get into on the subject but it seemed necessary.
