Re: The Left Hand of God or "is God a socialist"

Glenn -

Our differences on the issues you note below are well known & needn't be rehashed here. But do me & others who hold similar views the courtesy of realizing that our reasons for not reading early Genesis as historical narrative go a little deeper than simply not liking such an interpretation. I would not say that you read these texts as history simply because you like history.

Shalom

  Of course. That is what we do here all the time.

  If we don't like Genesis 1-11, then it is an accommodation. If we don't like 'ararat', then out it goes. If we don't like talking snakes, well we all know that couldn't have happened, but we do like the resurrection so that miracle happened.
