Re: Literature need not be a matter of Faith
Sorry Phat. I disagree.

God didn't write the stories. The authors did. God merely infused their literary urges with supernatural pixie dust!
God didnt "infuse their literary urges with supernatural pixie dust" as you put it. There wasnt any inspiration to it. They just wrote what happened. Just because the circumstances are amost unbelieveable, that doesnt mean they couldnt have happened. Many unbelieveable things combined with unusual circumstances have happened in the past....Hitler mysteriously dying before Berlin was taken....King Richard the LionHeart's dissapearance and reapearance..among others.You cant jsut dismiss what it says because it seems "too good to be true".

Truth is still Truth, Weather One or a Thousand People believe it.

That's right! He shot himself, whilst biting into a cyanide capsule, and shortly afterwards, he mysteriously died! Coincidence? Or conspiracy? You decide!
I was just using that as an example of somewhat "rigged" circumstances. And yes i think it was conspiracy.

TheTruth said:
so yes there were human authors but some of them weren't even alive when what happened did. Take Adam and Eve for example moses wrote most of the old testiment but he wasn't in the garden with them God spoke to him and told him what to say sometimes the author didn't even know they were writing kinda like sleep walking only sleep writing
I know all scripture is God inspired. But I dont think they writers were inspired to write dramitic fiction. They just wrote what happened. Maybe God inspired them to do it, but I dont think He literally told them what to write.
Judging from your post numbers you are fairly new. I like your name "TheTruth". I take it you are Creationist then? I would love to speak to you in Chat. Drop by sometime

Truth is still Truth, Whether One or a Thousand People believe it.
