tec....most of the time I really like your reasoning...however, this one just reminded me of how I was thinking when I was studying with the witnesses.
I don't need to change anything about the bible, though. I just need to follow Christ. Guaranteed there are many things that you and I and others do not understand about OT accounts, and also NT ones. I think that's a given, considering the time span, the translations, the difference in cultures, etc. But when I, myself, do not understand something, then I simply look to Christ. I'm not saying, NO that never happened... I am just saying that there is something I do not understand, something that seems missing, and so I will look to the Truth (Christ), to carry me through these things that I don't understand.
There were many things I didn't get...but I used to pray for them to be made clear to me...the only place that got me, was nearly baptized........I am not saying that you are wrong...just that I am very confused at the moment and this type of reasoning hasn't helped me a lot in the past.
I suppose you are really saying just follow Christ without needing to understand the bible...but isn't this where christ is being taught? How else would we have heard about him?
