Why do you think my view of the Bible as portraying a supernatural reality that meets us here on earth where the rubber meets the road is a fairy tale view?
You need to be a bit more clear and persuasive in your argument.
I know that as a Christian, if you are a conservative Christian, you don’t think the Bible is a mythological book that is portraying a series of fairy tales. But it does appear as if you believe that the supernatural is a fairy tale or something impractical when it comes to relating it to the 21st century Christian.
I don’t know where you get the idea of perfectionism in my view. I’ve never said that humanity is perfect. Only that it would be a lot less imperfect than Christians show themselves to be by being like your run of the mill human following their own mind or the flesh, if they followed the lead of Jesus Christ and the Spirit. Are you saying that’s an impossibility with man or with God?

MacDuff, my tag line belongs to the great State of Ohio --
Quote:
Between the years 1866 and 1868, the State of Ohio had as a motto, Imperium In Imperio, meaning (An empire within an empire.) Since the repeal, in 1868, of the law providing this motto, however, this State has had no motto.
During the 1950's the state organized a contest to select a new motto. A 12-year-old youth from Cincinnati was the winner. When it was adopted by the legislature in 1959, "the Ohio Secretary of State publicly acknowledged in a press release the slogan's Judeo-Christian roots from the book of Matthew."

For you to comment that what I said, "
seems less than sincere, less than genuine, when considered together with what you said in this post," based on my attempt to communicate with you, and my suggestion that a simple reading of the Bible might help you, indicates that I have wasted my time.
Sorry ....
