With my mom's recent sickness (she almost died, said the doctor) she's been more vocal about her beliefs (shes a Christian).
One day on the way to get a check-up done, she told me that it doesn't matter what the Bible says, per se, but instead what matters is the point of the stories in the Bible. She says she has had pastors tell her that. The one example she used (that I can remember) is when Jesus fed a very large group of people with limited fish and loaves of bread. She said it doesn't matter if he actually fed 5,000 people with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, but the point behind the story that Jesus is a miracle worker.
I apologize if none of this makes sense, its almost midnight and I am super tired.
Thoughts?
