I hope there is time and interest to discuss the two creation stories
ReplyDeleteThanks to the seven who gathered tonight for week two of The Bible Challenge. We had fantastic discussion on how the various texts came together, on the oral tradition that came before the written text, and on various details of the texts. For instance, does Genesis 9:5 mean it's wrong to eat a steak? We decided no: it's about not consuming the blood. (See Genesis 9:4). The blessings and woes in Luke 6:20-26 (Luke's version of the Beatitudes) came up, and we wondered what Jesus meant behind his comments about the rich. A helpful look at The Intepreter's Bible commentary suggested that Jesus was concerned that those who have their needs met in this world lose sight of their spiritual needs, the need to look beyond this life for what God intends for us in God's kingdom.
ReplyDeleteI need to follow my own rules. The above comment is from me!
