Rebuttal to Harris argument

I disagree with you man. First of all, I don't believe that everything in the Bible should be taken literally. Too many things, especially in the Old Testament, are based on that period of time, and therefore don't really apply to us anymore. During that period of time, it was customary, and that was when much was getting written. Then it just got passed down and transcribed from generation to generation. The ideas and main concepts are what we should be taking literally. And I also disagree with you on the statement about the Philippians passage. I do believe that passage should be taken literally. I do believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. If there is something that I am wanting to accomplish, and I pray about it and feel that God is wanting me to pursue it, I will be successful, because of my commitment to reaching my goal and pleasing God at the same time.
