It IS all relevant. Goes to the credibility of God, His word, His character, and furthermore, to the words of Christ Himself, whose word is also good, who is the Truth, when He spoke of Noah and the ark, and the flood, as a historical certainty. Confirmed by the apostle Peter as well.
The flood is a fact. It is not poetry. Like it or not, it is relevant, so we cannot in good order delegate it to ‘the lessons it teaches.’
What lessons? Also, I’m never comfortable saying the accounts of scripture are ‘stories.’ Aesop tells fables, and has good lessons. No comparison to scripture.

ColorStorm, You are a Protestant Christian who like the atheist believes what you believe by 100% faith. Unfortunately the atheist does not have faith in the same things you do. You know the Bible is the Word of God by faith alone. I know it by faith and reason.
Look at the letters of Saint Paul. They are all based on both faith and reason. Jesus’ ministry was based on faith and reason. Christian Western Civilization is based on both faith and reason. Faith without reason is like a balloon not tethered to the earth. It just wanders uselessly in the sky.
Since the atheist speaks from faith that everything just happened all by itself, making a faith-based, Christian rebuttal to his nonsense is useless. Likewise, making reason-based, Christian rebuttal to his nonsense is useless. That is why atheists are imbeciles. That isn’t an insult. It is the state of play.
Many stories in Bible are not literally true. But the wisdom they convey is. Jesus isn’t a story, he is wisdom itself.

Why confuse parables with acts and facts. Would we not be guilty of mocking God if we say Mary, Martha and Lazarus were no different that lessons learned from the three little pigs?

As to the debate between faith and reason, I think both the Bible and few church fathers tell us, “we love because He first loved us.” God calls to us first, He initiates, we don’t just “reason our way to Him” and we don’t just “believe really hard” and it happens. We have a tendency to be prideful so we like to think we got there on our own efforts, either our own faith or our own reason. I like to remember the Apostle Paul was a learned and well reasoned man but he was really just out persecuting Christians until he got whacked on the head on the road to Damascus.

You need to get a life and not make silly assumptions based on Roman Catholic ideas with which you were presumably indoctrinated and understandably rejected.
And do get it into your thick head, Jesus rose from the dead, Christians if they are true to the Truth give thanks to Jesus as a living God, not a blood sacrifice.

In that case I will have to accept that your indoctrinated, Ill – informed responses that you consider pass for answers/evidence are the best your religiously addled brain can come up with.
You can imagine the head shaking bafflement I experience at your abject wilfull ignorance which borders on either patent stupidity or flat out disingenuity is akin to the way you must feel when trying to have a rational discussion with your maned – mate about why the earth is not flat.
The words,delusional and mentally unstable must surely one to mind?

The Word of God actually speaks dead matter (biomolecules) to life. In 1958, molecular biologist Francis Crick developed the Fundamental Dogma of Biology:
DNA -> RNA -> Protein
The information that moves from DNA to RNA to Proteins is speech. Christians know that speech as the Word of God. Microbiologists use words like “code,” “transcription,” and “translation,” which are words indicating rational speech.
Only intelligent beings possess the power of rational speech. Therefore, Crick’s Fundamental Dogma of Biology is proof of God’s existence.

Ark, I give you scientific proof of God’s existence and you try to change the subject as usual. Ark, you need to up your game if you don’t want to get crushed by the weight of reason.

Nope. You have presented no evidence, merely apologetic drivel.
Learn what evidence is (tip for free: Try the dictionary ) and stop being an ignoramus.

God’s word is evidence enough. History confirms it. Intelligent people believe it. Your conscience understands it is correct.
You would appear credible by just saying you do not like the contents. Your dislike does not make it untrue.
I believe Silence also wrote of the Logos, the Word, consistent with the Creator and confirmed by scripture, science, and fact. Christ Himself is the Express image of God.
As to your Yahweh concern, hope this helps. It is a matter of relation. El Elyon is El Shaddai, One God, as Father of all.
You are also compound, as husband, brother, cousin, uncle, grandfather, friend, neighbor, boss, employee, the same person, someone who rightfully is angry, and one who could just as easily crush a grape or an ant, as well as forgive a drunk driver who killed your dad-
This should clear things up. But there is no lack of evidence.

You do not understand evidence.

Ark, You don’t get to hallucinate what I believe in, even if you are hallucinating it. Since your comment has nothing to do with my side of the conversation, you must be arguing with yourself and losing once again.
