As in other conversations here, I think you create a false dichotomy

Nope.

(probably by listening to the poor logic of CS Lewis)

Rather his then some others I know.

The Bible can be (and in my opinion is) both historically non-factual AND true.

Pardon my French, but that is bullcrap.

To say what you are saying is simply to make the Bible another 'wisdom Book', a book of pithy sayings and nice stories which we can of what we will, and for myself I will not accept that, and I think further that the Bible does not accept that of itself.

Was the Bible lying when it referred to Jesus as the "second Adam", and contrasted His work of redemption with Adam's fall and it's results? When Jesus said that the times before the end would be like the days of Noah, why would He refer back to those times when in reality they didn't even exist?

You want to accuse me of poor logic?

You’ve misenterpreted this to mean that we are saved by our “correct belief in what/who Jesus is” and I feel that is absolutely wrong.

Well, since the gloves have come off finally, I think your contention that we are saved by some form of works is very wrong and unbiblical. I wish Luther were still around to give you whatfer.

Let me ask you these—what 'mission' did the thief on the cross participate in before his death that Jesus thought merited his place in Paradise? What about all those people at Pentacost, when where they saved, at Pentacost or sometimes after when they had joined some kind of group and volunteered their services? Did Stephen ask the Ethiopian if he believed what was taught to him, or if he wanted to join some kind of missional fellowship? When Paul talked to the Philippian jailer after the earthquake, did he tell him to "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ", or do something else?

Your attempts to sneak in works by the back door are unbiblical.
