Re: [asa] On Job

Iain,

Since it is the Lord himself who introduces these characters - whether real or imaginary (who can tell?) - each for the purpose of delivering a serious message, I suggest the matter you raise presents no real challenge to what I have written.

  Vernon,

  Clearly Jesus' parables were just made up stories to illustrate a point. The Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan etc weren't real people. But does that mean they're not a source of light, and they're not true?
