The Bible... Condensed

Post by RayThom »

With limited reading of the bible except for the Douay–Rheims version I'm wondering how close this quick interpretation might be.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

They could have at least mentioned Hosea begins with the worst marriage advice ever. Really!

Just remember that Rahab was a biblical heroine and (some say) ancestor of Jesus.

Well she was a heroin because she knew when to switch sides, and her experience as a prostitute made her pragmatic at the very least. Now whether she is the Rachab in Matthew 1:5 (one of the "begats"), who knows? But when you look that this is the lineage of joseph who was not Jesus' biological father, I guess it really doesn't make that much of a difference.
