I agree that ” consistent and well-defined methods of interpretation” is important. I also believe that there is a difference between those who try to be consistent with the creation account and those who see the accounts as what I would call OT parables, or non-literal stories because there is no consensus on what the parables mean. This is not consistent. For those who try to be consistent, I think it is helpful to dialog because it isn’t also understandable to us what is believed. I think the next post will be very helpful to explore our views. That is when I get a chance to finish it. Hopefully I can break away from family to finish it on Sunday.

I do sincerely appreciate the respectful dialog on these issues.
