He asked a specific question, and I gave one reason, that I have heard, why folks have trouble with taking the Bible literally. Something that has been altered over thousands of years cannot be taken literally in my opinion. It's open to interpretation and many folks have issues with that (taking faith in something that they think may or may not actually be the word of God). </div></div>

You are right, many do have issues with that. Is it because they chhose not to change the way they live and justify it? Is it because they have a hard time not being able to believe in something that they cannot see? Because to say everything has been changed, so therefor I will not read it nor apply it is inconceivable to me. How about you? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif[/img]
