My Jesuit theology teacher said that the Bible uses myths, poetry, metaphor, etc to communicate the word of God. It is only Protestants that have to believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. They have to do this because they split from the Catholic church which is is based on tradition back to their founder Jesus Christ. Without the Bible the protestants have nothing. So they can not tolerate any criticism. However, for many Christians a literal interpretation confines ones interpretation of the Bible. The Bible is meant to be understood on many levels, over many epochs. <br /><br />In the final analysis it is not knowledge which leads to salvation. As I explained to my Jesuit professor, who was not pleased with a literal interpretation, it is faith that saves. It is better to have faith and blinders than no faith at all. He later changed his point of view and agreed with me in a subsequent lecture.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067396087460502962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855268335402896473.post-87717217233817681322012-04-03T02:44:25.532-07:002012-04-03T02:44:25.532-07:00Quaint, but still a good argument against biblical...Quaint, but still a good argument against biblical literalism.Pedanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12656298969231453877noreply@blogger.com
