Re: cultural context in reading the Bible

Paulchen,

Could you point to which verses in the Bible talk about the sun circling the earth? I do not believe I have ever read or remember reading those verses.

Danutz,

How could you think that the Bible is not God showing us His character? You cannot have a personal relationship with someone if they do not reveal to you who they are. Not only does God reveal to us in the Bible who He is, but He does it in our everday lives. Why would we even pray to a God that we do not know? Your take on the Bible makes God seem very impersonal. I do not want to sound judgemental at all, I just cannot understand how you can read the Word of God and not realize its whole content was meant for the very purpose you are denying. Can you honestly say that God does not reveal himself to you in books like Psalms or the Gospels?
