this mentions the difference between theologies of different genesis writers. interesting stuff. very important point right off the bat about god revealing his name to moses and stuff.

that's what undergraduate work is like because kids grow up so mindless that they have to be handheld into a realization of what the world is actually made of. the entire point of academic work is to expand upon or disprove the previous theory. if the previous theory and your professors were really any good, the problems would be solved. in my field, war would be over. but they weren't smart enough, good enough, right enough and so we have to tell them exactly where they were wrong.if previous biblical scholars had really found the answers, the problem would be solved. the results would be so conclusive and so persuasive that everyone would believe (every knee bow every tongue confess). but they don't because they didn't.

modern christianity tends to suffer from that opinion of disagreement. i don't get it. it's completely unsupported biblically. jesus was all about questioning established thought.

the bigger problem is that you think anyone holds this assumption. i was speaking more broadly. if the evangelical scholars of the past or present really had it figured out THERE WOULDN'T BE any 'liberal' scholars. whatever a liberal scholar is anyways.

double post.
