re: Church Celebrates Transgender Pastor's Transition With 'Renaming' Ceremony

you can't take The Bible as a literal work. It is too outdated and archaic for modern society

why not? they recorded what they observed in the phenomenological language of the day. iow, they accurately recorded history as they understood it. your statement is called the tyranny of the present. you are retrojecting modern historiographical methods and standards for accuracy on the past and indicting them for not meeting those standards, which is clearly a fallacy. second, is there something in particular in the Bible that you think is not historically accurate?

it's amazing that people think these "errors" haven't been explained countless times over the course of centuries. like we just discovered a new error that has never been accounted for before.
