Hi Mike. Good to have you posting again, bud. I see Charles has greeted you already. He's the gatekeeper and watchman here, as you know, who extends greetings to creo openers and keeps people honest, sometimes even his own people. Gotta love tha guy!
Anyhow, you're right. There's soooo many variations of Christians as to concepts and interpretations, et al. Why?
1. The Bible is a fairly large and complex book, loaded with doctrines and stuff for study. It is not quickly and easily mastered. In fact it's one book nobody will ever totally master. It's devinely inspired. I've been seriously into it since a 10 year old kid and still eagerly learning.
2. Being it's the truth and claims to be exclusive foundational truth, and being there's a devil who hates it and it's followers, it has many, many enemies. It's the most loved and the most hated book ever written.
So it's no surprise that there's such a variety of us. I'm sure you've noticed Faith, a fiesty, unique, intelligent and articulate asset to the creo team. We can all learn something from her. In fact, as iron sharpens iron, that's how we, as uniquely different Christians interact to hopefully arrive at the truth.

Re: How much agreement?
Any other interpretation, as I said, makes GOD a liar.
So as I understand you, Jar, any other interpretation of scripture than yours makes God a liar. Is that a correct assumption.
Btw, Jar, I'm assuming by how you've posted over the time you've been here that there are only two supernatural events in the Bible, the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Jesus. All other implication of miracle or the supernatural in the Bible is fable. Is that correct?

Re: How much agreement?
Other than my interpretation? No. But there are many interpretations that DO make GOD out to be a liar.
Oh. I've noticed you've used this phrase often when you have a different interpretation than others. So should I revise to assume that whenever interpretation is different than yours, God then, is being made a liar by the ones who disagree with your interpretation?
Well, the Virgin Birth is certainly open to question.
Oh. So when you said you believe the Nicean Creed, you didn't mean the whole creed and it's now down to the bodily resurrection of Jesus?
And there are other instances that, if factual would be considered miraculous.
But my assumption has been from what you've posted that you don't consider any of them to be miraculous. Is that correct?
