People are so frantic about putting a ribbon or label on every person and handbags prada singapore then placing them neatly in a box that we can handbags prada singapore put on the shelf for future reference- if need. Let’s take the two barrel fundamentalist’s question. Do you believe in Adam & Eve and the virgin birth? If I answer YES, the questioner interprets me as saying I believe it LITERALLY. If I answer NO, the questioner would label me a heretic and not a true Christian. Damned if we do, and damned if we don’t.
Let me be more specific.
Do I believe there’s a handbags prada singapore God in heaven who made the world like a potter make a handbags prada singapore vase, who created Adam & Eve as the handbags prada singapore first people to live on the planet, who sinned thereby needing to handbags prada singapore sent an interventionist Son down from handbags prada singapore heaven to play the lead role of God in the handbags prada singapore flesh, and who will be coming back on clouds from handbags prada singapore heaven one day to rescue the world, all except for handbags prada singapore those who have never confessed the Son’s name (Jesus in English) as they will eternally be tortured for there finite sins.
NO! In fact HELL NO!
But, that’s the handbags prada singapore currency of the church and if you want to be handbags prada singapore a Christian you have to buy in that those are handbags prada singapore the FACTS. That those stories describe what handbags prada singapore is TRUE regardless of whether they happened or not, seems to handbags prada singapore not matter to the religious. History records what DID happen; myth describes what is TRUE. The story of Adam & Eve or the virgin birth are REAL, not because they were factual events that handbags prada singapore took place in time and space, in history, but because they tell us something profoundly TRUE about our world and ourselves.
So, I stand as “damned” by those who seem to think everything in the Bible is LITERAL! 
And I stand LOVED by Abba Father!
