RE: Grateful for So Much: Daily Life in Preparation

I'm looking for the moral of the story

True, the Word of God uses many parables and examples, discerning what is actual and symbolic is important. The purpose of the Word is for right living. If something is believed or proven inaccurate recorded in the word, it doesn't change the accuracy of the Character of God and His Name and the morality He instructs. As Paul writes:

let God be true, but every man a liar Romans 3:4

It wouldn't be surprising to me to discover that the word of God is accurate in reality, even when it is very different from our assumptions and conventional understanding.
