Quote:Amen! Finally you admit that we can't read the bible literally!
Quote:I hope you understand what I am saying here and no longer read the bible literally. I talked to my priest yesterday and he said that many people including the Catholics read the bible literally on the verses that they're comfortible with and doesn't want to read it literally on the verses that they don't like.
Quote:I hope my bible sharing helps and please don't read the verses from the bible literally. My priest told me that the only thing He was sure of that can be read literally from the bible is LOVE. Other than that, he can't be sure if any of the verses can be read literally because the meaning in each sentence and word is very deep.

Quote:Of course he believes in the death of Jesus. The main story is obviously there: Jesus preach, Jesus heals people, and are crucified in the end etc. The difference is that he doesn't read the bible word by word. He read the verse/parable by taking consideration of the context, history, people of the time and if it's appropriate he'll read it literally.
