That's always the big question when I read the Bible. What should I take literally, what should I interpret? The seven days? Adam and Eve? 666? The Ten Commandments? If I take everything literally (I think Jehova's witnesses do), I soon end up saying "this CAN'T be all true". But if I interpret this and that, I run the risk of twisting the sense. And now if only someone could also explain why the Trinity is ONE. Aren't there enough passages where God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are depicted as individuals? Like when Jesus said something like "this will not be revealed to the son, only to the Father." Arianistically (?), Dgennero. |
