The bible is a parable.

a parable is an EARTHLY story, with SPIRITUAL meaning.

So you are correct, the bible is theological teaching, however it uses parables to teach theological truth.

Nothing is a myth, nothing.

Nothing is a fable.

Everything, everything everything in the bible is from the mouth of God, thus, God is going to use this EARTH as a way to teach spiritual truth. God does not tell half truths, or fables, or myths, God tells the complete truth and it is perfect.

So dear readers, sense we all agree the bible is the Word of God, it would be beneficial to trust everything God says in the bible, to trust that it actually happened, and that the teaching from the story is spiritual, that is whats called a parable.
Code: 
The Word is given as parables.
Ps 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old.
Matt 13:34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,
Matt 13:35 that is might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
Mark 5:33 And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.
Mark 5:34 But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

For example, can animals speak,

Numbers 22:28-30
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ***, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ***, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. And the *** said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ***, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay.

Here God is telling us that He is God, that He can open the mouth of even a DONKEY and make an animal speak.

So is this a myth, a fable, no it is a parable. It is an actual story, that took place on the planet earth. Now I am not qualified at this time to interpret this parable, however this is an earthly story with spiritual meaning.

It is at your own peril that you judge any word in the bible to be that of myth or a fable or a simple theological story that isn’t true, yet teaches truth. No no no. this is real, this DONKEY spoke.

Hopefully, somebody will read this and be persuaded in knowing that everything from the bible is from the mouth of God, thus, it is true, completely 100% truth.

The true child of God, will trust God and His word even if he does not understand it. Even if a talking Donkey seems improbable, even if Samson killed 1000 Philistines with the jaw bone of a Donkey, even if Noah rode the waves of the destruction of the entire earth, even if Moses face was as radiant as the sun after looking upon God on Mt Sinai which caused him to where a veil, even if Jonah was in the belley of a whale, even if Lots wife turned into a pillar of salt. etc etc, it is all factually accurate history teaching a spiritual meaning,

that is whats called a parable. Earthly factual legitamate happenings, teaching Spiritual truths.

HI PeterC,

First you say you didn’t bring the subject up? I refer to evidence Post #633, so I show you yes you did, Now you accuse MOI, of being deliberate and dishonest?

and there you go again, ya caught contradicting yourself again, so you resort to name calling. Lost another one EH?? (I’m not even from Canada Eh?

You brought it as as silly excuse not to believe in the RCC History, from which point I took it not history at all, but in the same line of the theory of Evolutionwhich was deliberate, please go back over your posts and PLEEEASE esplain to me what exactly you meant?
You brought it up, I relied, and then you deny bringing it up at all, then I quote, Now you accuse me of misquoting you? You calll me bigot, and whatever…

How what is it, evolution can be a selective and partial definition be dishonest?
When the theory of is a false theory, show me one bit of evidence that a horse came from a fish?
How about Man came from ape, and I’ll show you SOMEBODIES TRYING TO MAKE A MONKEY OUT OF YOU!!!

John,

Nobody can possibly debate anything with you because you merely repeat your own or other’s prejudices and do not engage in an exchange of ideas. It is a one way process.

You are also prepared, for your own bigoted and nefarious reasons, to cherry pick, misuse, abuse, misquote, or quote out of context in the most disgraceful and disreputable manner.

To be absolutely honest I am a very busy man, and I cannot waste any more time in this sterile dialogue of the deaf.

I am so envious of you. It must be so comfortable being so certain about so much. You remind me of my elder son. He once said to me, “Dad, when I was 16 you knew nothing. Now that I am 21 it is amazing how much you have learned in just 5 years.”

I wish you well.

Peter

The theory of Evolution is not a false theory, rather it is support by mountains of data. As a teaching assistant at The Catholic University of America many years ago I help teach evolution to undergradutes. One of the things I made sure every student understood was that the Theory of Evolution is about “how it happened”, it is not about “if it happened”. If you want proof of evolution just look at the animals around you, espeically your pets. Most of those breds are very recent (last 200 years) and all of them are the result of Sexual Selection. If regard to horses just consider the Thoroughbred bred. Do any of you think the the Thoroughbred bred existed 500 years ago? They did not!
 
Quite so, and there is no inconsistency between natural selection prompted by “survival of the fittest”, and the example of selective breeding that you have proffered.

How and why is this God given process held by some to be incompatible with Christian theology?

The dog is still a dog, show me some proof of evolution meaning, the dog evolved from something else, How about the horse? Its always been a horse?

take any animal and show me physical evidence, from wence they evolved, I’m not knocking out the theory that the Earth may have had, creatures before God breathed life into Man. Which the catechism says, and Scripture backs up. Theologians believe something of cosmic catastrohic proportion happened between vesus ibetween vss 1and 2 iin Gen 1, that caused the Earth to become chaos.

Just because there is different size dogs, [That’s called ‘SELECTIVE BREEDING’ Not evolution) doesn’t give credence to evolution theory, remember their rule is the more we come to know about time, space, matter, motion, force… that they can redefine what they knew. Ya never hear them go the other way for instance, well? maybe it isn’t what we proposed? It always trying to prove something they couldn’t prove in the first place!!

Jesus said,

In the beginning He made them Male and Female. [Matt.19:4]

Mat 19:4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

There is no mixing of the kinds to produce a completely different kind… no evidence what so ever.

God bless,
John

What an utterly ridiculous response. How many breeds of dog are there? They ALL **evolved **from the wolf.

Hi Peter,
been awhile but went through you 'proofs of Doggie evolution from wolf to domesticated Dog they are still canines.
But even your source #4 uses this as paragraph title:

“The theories: how might the dog have evolved?”

Just a theory and not a fact! Bottom line breeding, even today people breed dogs by there temperament, why? Who wants a a dog with a bad temperament in their home. Bottom line the dog still walks on all fours, and resembles the wolf. not a leap on a evolutionary scale.
Code: 
No facts just unproven theories to edge God out.
God bless
John
