Pertain means "to belong as a part, member, accessory, or product." The bible stories are a product of a small race of people in a small part of the world.

But I do get what your saying about being for everyone.

Yeah, my statement is not correct either. Sometimes it was written for a select group like the Epistles to a certain church for example. I misspoke there. Sorry

Are we questioning the flood's existance or what.... I've seen all the Nat Geo programs on finding the ark........ Always thought that supported the story in the bible.

There is a flood story in many cultures, so it's possible that there could have been a worldwide flood of some kind.

I see no way around the FLOOD. Those that have a problem with it seems to have a basic problem with the Bible.

Galileo was tried for heresy because he had a problem with the bible. But he turned out to be correct.

Galileo had a problem with some people's interpretation of the bible, Hordak.

Just because Joshua noted that the sun stood still in the sky, doesn't mean that the Bible claims that the earth doesn't travel around the sun...

There are about 5 bible passages that talk about the world not moving or the sun moving Most people took this literally. It was their interpretation.

Galileo discovered that the sun is fixed and it is the world that moves around it. This idea was considered heresy. and he was put on trial. Now it is taught as fact.
