Hidden Wisdom in the Holy Bible
.. Hidden Wisdom in Freemasonry?

[paul]

It seems to me that some of the commentary is based upon faith in conventional scientific beliefs. Such beliefs undergo radical change periodically.

Over time I have changed my view of much of the Bible. Events that I once thought symbolic now seem literal and vice versa.

[LorrB]

I wonder how one could test for which was which.

[paul]

Devising tests is an interesting challenge as there are various technical issues.

A Biblical scene may be a composite of several events and rewritten several times to include or exclude characters, actions, motives and contexts, and have been transported in time and space. The some of the original events may not even have been physical.

So I think that any particular Biblical scene may be investigated but it requires quite lot of research to improve the chances of encompassing something close to the non-religious reality.
