I agree that the Catholic priest gets it wrong by describing the Bible as little more than Hebrew folklore and mythology. And yes, it is probably due to the academic bias at Universities and Seminaries. Yet, I use some of those same methods to make sense of parts of Scripture that challenge me. I do not believe these ancient stories are myths, but some of them do have “mythical” qualities, passed down orally for centuries before being recorded in written form. Then Priests and scribes from different places and eras had to compile these precious stories. What matters to me is what you clearly state: “It is God’s revelation of Himself to man.” Some of these truths may be uncomfortable, and others remain mysteries (at least to me). I believe we both celebrate each archaeological find that proves how real the Bible is! Jimbo
One of my favorite cable series was "The Naked Archaeologist", hosted by Simcha Jacobovici. Why was it called "naked"? The show aimed to "strip" biblical archaeology of academic jargon and traditional assumptions, exposing the "naked truth" about ancient history and biblical stories.
I watched these four interesting shows for the first time today. Enjoy, Jimbo
Hey there Robert😁🙏 I know that it’s a Holy Book and I love 💕 my Bible❣️It’s God-breathed words, the same words that created Heaven and Earth—people get all twisted up in their own ways and words that make the clear Truth to no avail!!! 😱 Praying for them to be blessed by Jesus to come to the TRUTH of the plain Gospel, word by word‼️🙀👌❤️💕😻
Great article. My husbands family is mostly catholic. They do not know anything about end times or Jesus reign . They think I’m crazy. They want me to have a rosary also. No thank you. All I can do is pray for them.

I am studying the Catechism now as a Protestant, and it does not support what this priest led you to bekive about their faith.
On the surface, you are correct. But if you look at the actual application, he wasn’t far off
