Again, mere citation of biblical narratives without a theoretical framework of understanding the historical contexts of the texts is naive.


If we are going to engage in a litany of citations from more than 1000 different versions and sources then we may as well close down mashada.


It would simply be too overwhelming. Our focus ought to be on the nature and meaning of biblical contradictions and if in essence they disqualify the claim of Devine inspriration. I would be willing to introduce the notion of revealed Biblical truth vis a vis unmediated factual truth.
