How to read this blog!

These discussions between Alan and Jace need to be read sequentially. You just think they don't make much sense, try reading them out of order! We have named each blog in the following manner:
#1 -Title of Blog
#2- Title of Blog

Etcetera. Once a topic is started by Alan or Jace they will keep that topic as the "Title of Blog" followed by a Post #. The Post # will dictate where, sequentially, a given post belongs in the timeline. For now, it's not an issue. Simply scroll to the bottom and read upwards. Still, we are initiating this library system in the hopes it will one day be necessary!

Enjoy....

#32 Genesis Post #12 (brief too!)

1. I believe the Creation stories denote historical events.
2. I believe the Creation stories connote essential theological truth.
3. I believe readings of these stories that fail to give due weight to the figurative language present in the text are dangerous at worst and misleading at best.

    One addendum...I believe these Creation stories were written to denote historical events but in such a way as to emphasize the theological truth. They were written in contrast to the Mesopotamian creation stories where the distinctions between are key.

    You'll get no argument from me on that one. They were definitely written with a purpose in mind.
