Hands up if you claim the bible was literally written by God?
Ok good we all accept it was written by men with their own views and biases.
Do you take Lord of the rings literally, or do you look for meaning, and remember how people were when it was written?

@meJess 🙋🏻♂️ I am good with the Bible as the source of truth.

@meJess It was written by men as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Nice try though. Any further nonsense you would like to spew? I once was asked how I determined which books I believed belonged in the canon of Scripture since the Orthodox and Catholics have more books in their Bible than do the Protestants. I said I determine it by the Voice in the book. There is a huge difference between the book of Isaiah and Bel and the Dragon in the voice of the one speaking.

@Sharon Which is why I prefer to use The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After as my example when discussing the bible. Alexandre Dumas wrote two books which contain enough historical people and events that even now, scholars argue over whether or not the main characters existed. It certainly appears that D'Artagnan was a real person, whereas when I was growing up, it was always assumed he was fictional.
If we were to hold those books to the same standards to which Christians hold the Bible, the fact that they contain historical places, events, and people would be enough to ensure that they are always found in the nonfiction section.
