I will not try to defend myself. <br /><br />One thing is for sure, though, parts of the Bible are historical AND that history was written from the writer's perspective. Whether it was "revelation, God breathed, and inerrant in the originals" is irrelevant to that inescapable fact. <br /><br />Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156823478509665137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-44746239257540493662021-07-19T06:41:13.375-07:002021-07-19T06:41:13.375-07:00I take it that you do not accept that the Scriptur...I take it that you do not accept that the Scriptures are revelation, God breathed, and inerrant in the originals.<br /><br />" the historical parts of the Holy Bible which are "filtered" toward the Hebrews"<br /><br />And they did a lousy job at it unless you think that writing about their "failures" that caused God's judgement somehow are a benefit to the Hebrews?<br /><br />Certainly, lessons for all us today and, therefore, a benefit.JaimeInTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729407700850451849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-58607168429402312562021-07-19T04:07:30.941-07:002021-07-19T04:07:30.941-07:00"But all history books are written with a vie..."But all history books are written with a viewpoint, through a filter."<br /><br />All. From the historical parts of the Holy Bible which are "filtered" toward the Hebrews to the modern day People's History (zinnedproject.org) promoted by Howard Zinn, which is attempting to rewrite and teach from an altered American history (CRT).
