Whether they're true or not is irrelevant,... they're meant to be taken literally, so that the lessons within them will always be a part of your life. If you start getting into whether they're real or not, you're not focusing on the message, you're negating the message because you feel the story is incorect.
I believe that some of the story's may not be true in the literal sense. We are too focused on the physical, some of them are lessons taught through spiritual metaphors.
u try retelling a story 70 yrs later and see how accurate it is..
exactly. Try telling a story 3 days later n see how accurate it is. Have u ever seen the game where u line up 6 people or so. One person on the end, tells a short paragragh. Then each person passes it on to the next person. By the time it reaches the last in line, the story is always completely different. i agree tho, i neva really believed the stories of the bible as being "real". I always thought it was to be used as lessons for people.
u just described a game of chinese whispaz, that's what i talked about.
i don't believe in the bible myself, but for those who do, think of the stories like a game of chinese whispers, the stories were told to people who could not write very well, so when the idea (whenever it was) came about to put them all into 1 book the stories will have been changed in many ways, cos like in chinese whispers, the message to the end person is always different from the original message!
Do you think that you posess more knowledge then the Bible and Qu'ran. Because if you do, then by all means, do your own thang, figure things out on your own, but if you need help it's there.
