What's Your View on the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah?

[Apistos]

The Bible can only be ultimately validated, in any regard, by a fossil of Love, found via it. Or Love shows up and invokes a word of it, and Dawkins and Harris and Hossenfelder and Carroll all bow the knee with the rest of us.

Spirits have no physical voicebox that can manipulate air in order to talk

When was the last time you had a conversation with a spiritual body? Never you say? Then any thing you think you know doesn’t apply. And given the Bible doesn’t give us much information on the subject we will just all have to wait and see what happens.

@adamjedgar

The reality is, the vast majority of it [bible] is falsified by known science examples. When we use mainstream interpretations in modern science to validate ancient biblical historical writings, quite often they clash.

The portions of the Bible that are actually falsified by science are the parts that aren’t important for the message the Bible is trying to convey. So it is certainly NOT the “majority” that is falsified. The actual message comes through loud and clear even when the interpretation of the text is adjusted by what we know about the real world.

Love one another.

Love one another.

A big part of the message and no science needed.

Everything else is secondary at best. That’s a keeper regardless. That’s the pivot in human history. We haven’t realised it yet.

to counter the “raised as spiritual bodies” tripe,

So you feel free to rebuke St. Paul?!?

So Genesis 1 is fiction – got it.

@adamjedgar

The point is, we cant turn Christianity into a belief that is validated by scientific theory.

So why do you insist on doing theology by science, as your post does?

Nonsense.

YECists are too busy throwing away the Bible’s theology to stop and consider the actual message.

If this is a discussion of whether all of Christianity is valid or not, this repeats the error frequently occuring at PeacefulScience.org .

In my opinion, God-guided Evolution is a fundamental position of BioLogos. So arguing AGAINST any role of the divine is a waste of bandwidth.

It isn’t. It’s an exchange between St. Roymond, an evolution-friendly Christian, and Adam Edgar, a committed anti-evolution Seventh Day Adventist.

Just as long as they love one another.
