Comment on Reading the Bible purely as fiction is quite entertaining

  Under duress, with crushing feelings of obligation, guilt, shame, horror, and dread of course 😄

        Tell us more about the historically-accurate talking donkey and the historically -accurate description of an angel with a million scary eyeballs & feathers, and how a virgin woman somehow historically got pregnant, and how did Noah historically fit SEVEN PAIRS of every animal in existence onto a handmade boat, how did he keep them all fed & hydrated for 40 days, and how did the feline species not devour all the rodent species while they’re all cooped up together in a small space for 40 days? Historically please tell us. Remember, “history” implies that the story is factual. Like it REALLY happened.

      The history of the Bible is really interesting. Not saying the stories are true but more about how/why they were composed. Especially when looked at in the context of the Ancient Near East.

      I believe certain texts/stories had been floating around for centuries but Jewish leaders decided to make an official text after returning from Babylonian exile in the 500s BC.
