[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [qb] [i]"It operates on the assumption that God approves of everything that happened in the Bible..."[/i] And this is an unreasonable assumption because...? [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, you've got two assumptions you can make: a) God approves of every event that is recorded in the Bible, or b) God disapproves of some events that are recorded in the Bible, and his disapproval simply isn't voiced in every instance. If you assume 'a' when you can just as easily assume 'b', and when 'a' results in massive contradictions and 'b' doesn't, I would say that assuming 'a' is unreasonable. The simplest workable, accurate explanation is probably the correct one. :) Put another way, you're proposing that God can be assumed to approve of [i]specific events[/i] on which He has no recorded stated opinion. One of the defining principles of the Church of Christ is that we are silent where the Bible is silent. Mind you, that's not necessarily the case, but it's a nice idea at the very least. :) Okay, Cartman, ask and you shall receive. Just give me a few minutes and I'll post again with my response to the test. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
