You should be asking a fundamentalist these questions. You have a lot in common with fundamentalists; you believe that if the Bible isn't literally true in every detail, it must be false. Yes and no. Yes, in order for the Bible to be recognized as a work of non-fiction rather than fiction, it would have to be historically sound. No, I don't believe that every little pea-pod incident has to be exact in every little detail. In order for people to believe that the Bible is not just a book that some old codger sat down and made up out of whole-cloth, the book would have to be historically sound. That is the reason that archeologists spend so much time digging up ruins...to prove that the Bible is not a work of fiction. So, yes, I do believe that it should be taken literally in the historical context. But not necessarily in the spiritual context. |
