One important point when it comes to biblical infallibility, at least to my mind, centers on the casting out of demons and how so many of the demonic concepts spoken of in the book are proven illnesses and have been accepted as such for most of the past century or two. There are other such demonstrations, including scientific explanation that is now being used to "prove" certain biblical tales (such as the Exodus of Moses) that for eons, were viewed as sacrilege (it has been known since the time it all happened, that Volcano of immense size had triggered the entire series of events and that certain areas in which "the sea" stood, did at times reveal sand-bars that could be walked across -- the recent revelations of these things is more of a confirmation of long known facts). Then again, the whole Moses story can be connected to a far older Babylonian tale in which the main character's name was Mesus. . . coincidence?
Here's a similar issue that theologians are aware of but priests & preachers deliberately ignore; "The World" is a term used in both Testaments but not in context of the day, an era in which the "known world" was quite limited and nothing close to what we know today as "the world" -- an entire planet. As a result, the great flood of Noah's fame probably didn't entail a global inundation but simply a regional disaster such a Gilgamesh's tale would imply (along with the scores of flood tales that date to about the same period of time and ONLY within the geographic area that would have been viewed as the "Known World" in a pre-bronze-age perspective. Who's to say, given this reality, that the destruction of the known world by fire and a great war wasn't the formal destruction of Rome?
Jesus offers a couple of important points on this issue as well, the first was uttered when he was roughly 12 years old and asked by the rabbi what the whole of the law was, his reply was
"To love the Lord thy God with all thy soul and might; to love thy neighbor as they self. . . the rest is but commentary"In other words, everything outside this most basic tenet, is man putting words into god's mouth -- nothing else actually matters.
The irony is that this "Golden Rule" can be found in EVERY major religious tradition the world over in some form, complete with the suffix factor
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you".
Wouldn't the world be a wonderful place to live if man would simply pull his head out of his ass and LISTEN -- to realize none of the other stuff matters; it separates and creates dissension rather than uniting and allowing room for peace to prevail?
