This week was somehow way too long and went by way too fast. 😕

At the end of the day, I love you all, even when you're being ridiculous. So keep being weird, keep being silly, and maybe try to make the world a little bit better while you're at it.
The #Bible is a snapshot of the middle of a conversation. It is not the final word. It is, for #Christians, the underlying chord progression we riff off of. It invites ancient and diverse people into our conversations.
While it is diverse in its content, its canonical structure points in a direction. While you can pull passages to say whatever you want, to claim its authority, you must be in keeping with the direction it points in: towards faith, hope, and love.

This is the part that worries me about it being used. Seems like a huge legal can of worms, especially when used in a business setting. How do you know it isn't violating intellectual property rights? Regardless of how you feel about IP, that doesn't change the legal risk/liability.

I agree that Jesus of Nazareth was likely not born of a virgin, and likely did not come back from the dead. However, I do choose to believe these things to be true because I find it good and useful to do so. I feel no need to convince anyone else they are true, and fully understand it is a ridiculous thing to believe. I hold it loosely in one hand as a "mystery" as we like to call it because it points to something really true.

It depends on what preconceptions you bring to the text and what you're asking of it. To read it as a narrative (literary criticsm), you take the story as is.
If you're assuming that a given thing is impossible, and you want to do a historical reconstruction, then you can safely say that part didn't happen. That doesn't reduce the likelihood that a given person didn't really exist.

"When you say "evidence", do you mean "definitive proof"?
When you are working with ancient history, sometimes all you have is one account/tradition, decades later. And you just have to accept that ancient accounts often have what we think of as supernatural elements to them. If we tossed everything with that sort of content, we would have very little to work with.
