(5,125 posts)There are books about a lot of things. A title might help.
I know there are a lot of questions and discrepancies in the Bible. I've studied some history of the Bible and I have also as a person of faith learned many good things that help me make sense of day to day issues.
Jesus was a radical. He cared about those following him. If the details are not exact, I can live with that.
I am not an extreme evangelical who thinks every line written in the Bible is exactly as quoted from God to a person.
I am a free thinking person who still thinks Jesus taught some good lessons about being the kind of person who is assertive about what is right but not to the point of running over anyone else with it.
I don't always get it right. I try to the best of my ability to sincerely understand the people I interact with and listen to their point of view.
But dismissive, caustic remarks don't help much.
