<<@CrossExamined says : Listen full podcast here👉https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-should-we-read-the-book-of-genesis-with-dr-john-walton/id1297439270?i=1000595064695>> <<@gi169 says : Thank you CE>> <<@NeekSquad says : Prove God>> <<@snaptrap5558 says : Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom Matthew 16 28>> <<@descartes7126 says : Let me help - it's all man made garbage and mostly copied from older traditions, example - the Noah flood myth is a copy of the much older Epic of Gilgamesh>> <<@tomster7574 says : genesis wasnt written literally, it was written metaphorically. god created evolution.>> <<@danielsnyder2288 says : Interpret it make it seem less immoral than it plainly is>> <<@tomthumb5445 says : I view the old testament as a history of the bible, not meant to be followed. The new Testament is to be followed. Is also why you can get just the new Testament by itself.>> <<@MooseMaunu says : "How should we read the book of Genesis?" Simple...don't; or, like you would any other fairy tale. Those are the only acceptable and reasonable answers.>> <<@Psalm1828light says : It’s simple as this God told us how he did it. 6 literal 24 hour days. Nothing humanity has ever done has ever disproved that. Evolution is a joke. Deep time only is their to try to make evolution look possible. The word of God is absolute.>> <<@Samy-sx6kn says : So Abraham, Moses etc just figurative, no matter als Walton would say? Where is the cut? When does history begin? That’s just arbitrarily. And even Paul and Jesus read it as history.>> <<@spherence says : Read the Bible as you would any work of historical fiction. As that, is what it is.>> <<@vladimirputin4822 says : There is no sanity clause. Belief in magic is both infantile and holding the human race back. Time to grow up and put away childish things.>> <<@tomdebevoise says : Er... a book written by sheep herders who didn't know where the sun went at night. It's a creation myth and there are many many like it.>> <<@WilliamBechtold70325 says : God is a hoax. Why do so many still believe this bunk?>> <<@grahamthegreat2680 says : All faith is delusion !>> <<@gerardhoolachan2172 says : ..... Just like any other book of historical fiction , its a load of cobblers ,!>> <<@dwolfcoach says : Ha, the problem w semantics mixed w mental gymnastics to figure out how you can lie to yourself and luxuriate in your deceit. I think we have enough identity issues. Why does this obvious myth have to divide us further?>> <<@aprilsflower1622 says : Nothing but bs claims>> <<@speedylogic says : So Literal = Figurative. Isn't that just playing with words.>> <<@theladiescallmeoldspice says : It's tough. LOL! Love it!>> <<@Titan-vi7vh says : If God is across ALL time and space, why would the bible (Which was his words put on paper) be only about THAT TIME?>> <<@blisguy says : Literal? Read it how they wrote it? They wrote it in English, right? LOLZ>> <<@annrose8469 says : First, realize that it was Not written by Greeks. What culture pours out libations on the ground? Interpret it by That culture.>> <<@raeleenpreston4019 says : I can't use the link and want to know if someone can cut to the chase and tell me if his idea of literal is; the earth was made in 6 days and the Sabbath is ours f I rest etc please let me know>> <<@MichaelEHastings says : Frank, what a weak take. That dude's take is: "I don't think I am taking it figuratively. So, therefore I am right."">> <<@MichaelEHastings says : Wake up. It is LITERAL. If it is not literal, then where does it start and stop being literal. Earth is FLAT.>> <<@vincepurser764 says : LOL... yep... it's called fiction.>> <<@marcsles says : YES, THANK YOU, (also the authors were humans and humans make mistakes) SO STOP TAKING RANDOM STUFF AND TAKING IT WORD FOR WORD>> <<@samrad1745 says : good luck reading the parables and prophecy ..literally.>> <<@tarp-grommet says : The fundamentalist problem is that the vast majority of human knowledge is inconceivable in a biblical context. Sorry guys - it's Iron Age mythology. Instant global communication has been really bad for monotheism which is rooted in tribalism.>> <<@neilfalls4095 says : So they know no truth. Only allegory.>> <<@mattwrkk says : Read it as the factual story of creation.>> <<@fasterthanjesus9695 says : read it literally and dismiss it for the old age none sense that it is.>> <<@corybradshaw1588 says : You shouldn't>> <<@davidsuttie4192 says : Your intention is to reinterpret something that is clearly completely wrong in order to justify why people should believe something with no proof or justification.>> <<@chhungusgaming says : It should be interpreted as it is. A collection of fables and fairy tales, not an actual account of reality.>> <<@Davichoo says : That's why theistic evolutionists fail to make an old earth case that follows the author's intention. So guys like WLC, Denis Lamoureux and others use deceptive methodologies that dance with antibiblical science.>> <<@basp-ef7jx says : mythology.>> <<@rosemarietolentino3218 says : If you don’t know the Bible you don’t know Jesus Christ!>> <<@happynogod1646 says : Will they do the same with Aesops fables. Bahh Bahh>> <<@AceAtheist86 says : We are all born as atheist until someone starts telling us lies.>> <<@danbailey2964 says : Great question. Isn't it just so convenient that you have a book that can be interpreted is so many ways. Frank Turek is just another con artist...>> <<@theway-v6d says : The NT tells us how to read the Old Testament. “Before the foundations of the world….” Do you not think while God was dealing with ancient Israel he wasn’t also think, hinting (prophecy’n, and declare in the OT Jesus. Yes respect and its context, but it is always about Jesus Christ.>> <<@susannaurand4470 says : It's so easy!!! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you!!! Walk in the Spirit, not by sight!!! The truth shall set you free!!! Praise God for showing us the truth!!!>> <<@brentbiegel1626 says : You can’t begin to understand the New Testament without understanding the Old Testament. By the way that’s the names we gave to 2 collections. The New Testament is primarily the Old Testament reiterated.>> <<@RustyWalker says : I usually attack Frank for his misrepresentations of why people don't believe, but in this instance, the conversation is very productive. Setting aside the Great Debate, the authors of the texts were writing for a reason, and the least we can do is try and understand what they actually meant without twisting it to this or that modern agenda.>> <<@TheSibler says : If the old and the new testament is from GOD than everything is perfect. Matthew 5:18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. What do humans know ? The beginning of wisdom is the fear of THE LORD GOD ALLMIGHTY>> <<@fppro1679 says : Jordan Peterson covers this better than anyone.>> <<@leslieviljoen says : Ohhhhh, all we need to do is know the author's intentions! Why didn't anyone think of that??>>
