How many on here are saved?
If you are saved you will not be ashamed to admit it, If you are not you may get upset, if you are thinking about it, I will help if I can, if you have any questions or would just like to communicate.

Very interesting @oqouoq about the scribal errors. "Beware the scribes"!!
I love the traditional beliefs and interpretations because I know them so well, they are part of my cultural identity; but my understanding has changed so that I now see Bible stories mostly as useful allegories with a kernel of historical truth, but my faith does not rest or fall on the accuracy or lack thereof of the text (I know plenty of people whose faith rests on the truth of creationism, and so cannot possibly entertain the idea that their understanding could possibly be flawed). I would not blindly accept the dissenters' facts either but I try to keep an open mind. Is "the Revision Revised" worth finding and reading?
