Call it intuition but I get the distinct impression that the OP and the second poster on this thread are one and the same person.

I like to think myself a Christian woman but I don't ''read'' the bible as being a hundred per cent factual.

I do believe there was a man at some point in history, and stories were made up around certain activities, shall we say, and blown up out of all proportion.

Take the feeding of the five thousand for instance.

I can't think of a modern day scenario so I'm afraid we are stuck with the fella preaching away, as we are led to believe, on the mount , in the heat of the day, and peeps are beginning to feel hungry.

Some have brought food with them, some have not.

Our fella claps his hands for.... QUIET! and then calls over the heads of the crowd for a little bit of neighbourly spirit. ''Has anyone got excess food they are willing to share''?

So there we are. The story snowballed.

This reputable man was deemed a miracle worker, he wasn't, there was enough food that day simply because people shared .

It is possible to put an everyday slant on the parables in the bible.

 

To be described as a Christian I'm sure you have to believe in a little more than Jesus was a good man that existed but he wasn't a miracle worker.

So being a Christian means being in relationship with God. Secondly, this relationship with God comes through God's generosity towards us in Jesus. It is not by any effort on our part, but through God's kindness (Ephesians 2:6-9). And his grace and kindness is given to us in Jesus his divine Son.
