I haven't read these stories in a long time, so first of all I'm surprised at how readable the whole first 6 books of the Bible are.
Secondly, since I grew up in church and I was just taught these miraculous stories as fact, I'm surprised at how easy it is for me to "believe" something.
I'm at the point where I'm wondering what the word "believe" even means. Can an action that is completely unseen alter real world stuff like a soul's destiny.
It's hard for me to tell, do I believe something or not.
I'm also trying to look at my beliefs from point of view of someone who wasn't trained in this stuff from a young age. Atheists are so refreshing. And I can see how they might be frustrated with someone with beliefs that create a disconnect with the world that they understand.
can you imagine if a company or country hires you, and your beliefs interfere with the job? they might be super angry that you some sort of belief system where you're doing charity instead of making money.
but as far as Jericho in particular, is it miraculous? was there a technology involved that we don't understand? was the walking around purely ceremonial? is there a link between the ceremonial, the miraculous, and technology?
