hype (ertext) of biblical authority
You have to ask don't you "how can a text written over two thousand years ago still have authority over the lives and actions of people today?" Unless of course the text transcends history.
So if its ways and views are timeless, applicable to all occasions then it must not in any way be limited or even conditioned by its own historical society, its own cultural period or its own individual context. It is truly and radically a-historical.
Anyway lets get over the hype of authority I want to do is go back to my hypertext effort. As Elaine says "the interpretation of the biblical story in today's world for today's people does require a "spiders genius" - the ability to spin and weave even from the broken web of the story as as we have received it from our ancestors.
Then lets hope I can spin and weave the" portraits of wisdom' on my web. At present moment I feel like I am in a virtual web- not spinning and weaving but wrapped up like a fly choking, Last night I manged to do a LINK yes but when I went in today - it just did not work! ooh...
I guess there is wisdom that can emerge from patient and heartfelt endurance in the face of so much suffering .
I will continue...

is faith transcendent by its very nature?............because faith is something we belief without tangible proof or physical reality? But it must also be grounded in personal experience. I am interested in the way people arrive at faith - a deep part of the fabric of life as in Catholicism, conversion/epiphany or just a growing awareness to name some big models. Also it is a-historical but also NOW don't you think - in the application of timeles truths we measure stuff against.
Link o link where are you , they lamented in unison
so denisek are saying that it is our faith in the text that makes it holds its authority?
