    wafflehead,

    "I truly mean no disrespect but the trinity is an illogical supposition. It neither adds or takes away from the divinity and station of the Christ."

    Yes, actually it does. If Jesus Christ was not fully God then he would be divine in the first place.

    "The Noah story is a moral tail, a parable. To read it as a literal account is to miss the point completely and diminish the significance of the lessons."

    I think you've got it backwards there. If it WERE simply an allegory and God doesn't punish the wicked for their chosen actions, then not only was the destruction of all people simply an allegory to be ignored but so were many other Biblical accounts, like the crucifixion for example.



    "The bible is not story book, it is an allegorical insight, a prescription for living."

    Nope. The Bible is simply the revelation of Christ. Now along with that will be the revelation of the natural order of the universe as an expression of the nature of the Godhead which will include how we should lead our lives, but it's not JUST that.


    "Certain accounts offer both simple insights, not to be taken literally and deeper spiritual concepts, an ocean beneath each word so to speak. If they are taken literally they still impart some useful guidance, but the true depth and beauty of this remarkable work is then like casting pearls before swine."

    Agreed. :)
