It appears to me that our present problem – maybe in all our churches – is that our Scripture scholars and our Theologians are not communicating.

For example, Scripture Scholars tell us that the Creation stories of Genesis were Inspired by God to be a Myth Literary form. 'Adam and Eve' and 'Original Sin' are not actual, real historical people and events.

I have yet to see theologians work out the implications of that for our 'doctrine of Original Sin' and the meaning of Salvation.

'Doctrines' built up over the years are not easily changed, in spite of the fact that the reason for the Doctrine usually claims to be based on Scripture. New understandings of Scripture are often ignored if they require intellectual honesty in changing doctrine.
