<<So if the axis is

Genesis 1 is Genesis 1 is
actual history <-----------------------------> saga history
wouldn't your perceived corner be correct?>>
That's the ticket!
<< Is it not possible to point out for me which aspects of
that chapter you regard as `actual history' versus `saga history'?
Such an illustration of your view might be extraordinarily helpful.>>
See my post to Glenn as well. The WHOLE thing is saga history. Look at the
Hebrew. Look at the way its written. It's different from, say, 1 Kings, isn't
it? What does this mean?
You've got Bloesch to read on saga-history, and there's a whole bunch. Let's
just say I agree with him, you can read him, and point out what YOU disagree
with. That'll save time.
<< I believe the
emphasis of Christianity is on the individual. So our focus should be
on fulfilling our individual calling in direct relationship to Him.
The whole of the church is constructed by *Him* out of the parts that
each of us is assigned (a loose analogy is a symphony orchestra, a better
one is a human body).>>
Sounds like 1 Cor. 12, eh? Who can disagree?
