Quote by: Matt Ok, hopefully I can make this clear for you...
The Bible was written by MEN, not God. Back then, animals were considered 'property' and for us to use. Back then, peoeple were quite sexist, men, men, men, men....blah blah blah. That was hundreds of years ago, and in the Bible people wrote that way because thats what was 'common sense' back then.
Back then, we had to eat animals to live. We now don't have to. I think God would like us change with the times.
Question: Would you rely on a 100 yo book on how to set up an aquarium? My best guess is you would say no, since many things have changed in the aquarium world since then. The sucky thing is, the Bible wont get updated. Its stuck back then, and we can't rely on it for every thought or opinion we create. | So you believe in evolution then? I don't get it.
You can't accept the story of creation and simultaneously deny that in the VERY SAME VERSE God tells man that animals are for us.
Don't forget... Lawyers were writing the Constitution while doctors were still bleeding people with leeches... |
