Perhaps a simpler question would be this -- do you believe the Bible is God's word or simply a collection of writings?

I gave up a magical Bible a long time ago.

And I can't tell you how many silly sermons I've heard using types from the OT.

So, if I never heard another sermon using types from the OT my life would be the richer for it.
