I feel like these are things I cannot discuss with most doctrinaire Christians, most of the time. Even members of my family, whom I love and with whom I get along fine. But suggest the possibility of the sun standing still as a metaphor, or the Bible's beautiful imagery as such, and a difficult counter-assault ensues. It's tricky being a Christian.

Thanks Andrew you and Spencer are a blessing to me and to all of Christendom!

I would opine though that there is a difference, in for instance, healing(Blessings) and miracles.

In blessings which in my opinion includes healing, does not suspend God's laws. However, I also believe in miracles which, in my opinion does include suspension of God's laws for a little time, and so I can believe in the Sun being miraculously "stopped" if our Almighty God wanted to do so. Also, in my opinion most apparent contradictions in Gods' word are not necessarily contradictions. I don't say they are not that but could be. I believe in an aged universe and not so old "Mankind", and Hugh Ross and Gerald Schroeder in their books helped me conclude my theory about that idea. I'm not saying I'm right but I could be. We will all find out how comparatively dumb we really are when we get to " Heaven. None of us would want to " bet your life" o these issues though, I'm willing to bet.

God bless and God speed in all your Godly endeavors!!
