Thank you, Fred, for posting these questions, some of which have puzzled me as well. I hope we can both be enlightened by the bible mavens on this thread. The Eternal Word is so..., well, eternal.

Fred...

I suggest you ask the Lord those questions when you see Him.

I bow in your direction. Truly a great post. I put it on the Vile and Venom board as a great post. I doubt you get to mnay to respond to those points however, you can play with a nerf football. Not the same but until they settle the matter it's probably better than nothing.

Interesting post, Fred.

Now that we are past the congratulatory replies, perhaps you could tell me if the prose was yours. To me, it seems like deja vu all over again.

It's important to acknowledge the source, otherwise some people might think you worked for MI5 (British "Intelligence").

Fred,
If I am able to read between the lines here, are you suggesting that a literal translation of the Old Testament might not be wholly applicable to "modern" times (if it was in fact ever intended to be taken at face value)? And that much of what is written in the OT has become somewhat anachronistic, if not downright archaic? And finally, do you suppose it's possible that someone with a particular "agenda", eg. hatred/fear of homosexuality, might use the OT to suit his or her own particular needs at a given time and place? (You'd let me know if I'm heading off track here, right?)
Anyway, thanks for the insight.

Andrew

Fred,

A truly spectacular, important post. My only wish would be that it had a broader audience.

All the best
