The statement that... But...here's the problem. The statement that every major civilization had a flood legend is not true. Many did. Maybe even most. However, not ALL. Also, while every place on Earth may have experienced widespread, catastrophic flooding at one time, all the evidence we see tells us that there was no one universal flood that covered the entire globe.<br> That is not to say that there is no God. It is not possible to know that one way or another. However, it is possible to know that many of the things described in the Bible never occurred. <br> Nor is it necessary for them to have occurred. As in the parables of Jesus, when he spoke of a sower sowing seed, do you think he was talking about a specific person? No, he was using a story to make a point. The old testament is also full of stories that illuminate. That doesn't mean they're literally true. There doesn't have to have ever been a real Job for one to learn the lesson of humility from that book.<br> Likewise, there doesn't have to ever really have been a universal flood for us to learn that our actions have consequences.<br>-Paul<br>http://journals.aol.ca/plittle/AuroraWalkingVacation/<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-22497978472793242952006-05-17T05:06:00.000-05:002006-05-17T05:06:00.000-05:00Great account of the bible!

It is "The New Testament---A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings" by Bart D. Erhman. I recently saw him on TV and he said that there is nothing in the extensive manuscripts concerning Jesus having been married and had a child. He was speaking of the "Da Vinci Code" of course. It is facinating to understand the documentation of the early Christians. The first several centuries of the Christian Church were made up of people that were being converted from different religions that worshipped pagan gods as well as Jewish converts. The gospel of Mark is believed to be the first written around 60 to 70 A.D. markAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-22677614683380283522006-05-23T14:27:00.000-05:002006-05-23T14:27:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed the way you related the four gosp...I really enjoyed the way you related the four gospels to a football game. some people like to think that because the accounts are different they aren't real. but of course, like you said, they were four very different men. <br><br>Shermeen xx<br>http://journals.aol.co.uk/shermeen0621/PublicThoughts/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-78117115804576865022006-05-26T18:20:00.000-05:002006-05-26T18:20:00.000-05:00What a great post and great example for those who ...What a great post and great example for those who just have such a hard time grasping why there are differences in the gospels! <br><br>You definately have a gift in explaining things!! <br><br>God Bless<br>ChristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
