Is Bill O’Reilly, the top Fox News pundit, now aiming to disprove the Bible?

I, as Mrs. Bunker Hill, spent all my school years in Catholic schools which were indeed wonderful. However, we were never encouraged to read the bible as we were told it needed "learned" interpretation. I tend to agree totally with that. We do believe there is the most powerful force for love in the universe and wonder at Jesus Christ's pronouncement that "The meek shall inherit the earth." Is it happening at present? We question how Adam and Eve having two sons went on to propagate the "human" race. Can anyone name their wives? Being history lovers we can see no evidence of the Jews being slaves in Egypt. Where do the stories of angels and demons emanate from, the struggle between good and evil which is the story of the human race? We believe totally in God but question whether the Garden of Eden was in actuality not on the planet earth, but somewhere else. One more question that bothers us and we would welcome any input. Was Jesus Christ actually a Jew as so many people believe he was not? Also why is he so often portrayed with red hair? Were there that many red heads in the mid-east and Italy where many paintings were done. Red hair was so rare worldwide so what were the reasons for the red haired portrayals? We do however totally believe in a loving God but question people who think they have all the answers. A loving God would not choose one group to the exclusion of others but would love everyone equally. That is the God we believe in and we have experienced his love.

Never end a sentence with "as well"

seanomelb-You are like something out of the bible as well..

The GOPer's are ridiculing O'Reilly I almost feel I should come to his aid.On second thoughts it's a bridge to far.

If Roma Downey believes in Adam & Eve then she deserves all the ridicule she gets...

Interesting. So, in the Catholic viewpoint, the Bible is alligorical but transubstantiation and papal infallibility are literally true?

Bill O Reilly is nothing but a pure sell-out,He works for the globalists agenda,He represents the corrupted system over the people,He is in the same league as Piers Morgans,Two money hungry dirt bags

What do you expect from William F. Buckley Jr. nephew. Was surprised that O'Reilly opposed the death penalty and supported gun control. Must be his Catholic upbringing. There are even rumours that he supports environmental protection.

It has never been Church doctrine that the Bible is literally true & inerrant (which is not the same thing as being divinely inspired--that the Church as always taught). In fact, no one thought that the Bible is literally true & inerrant until the late-19th century, when some American fundamentalist sects started teaching it.

Fox and O'Reilly are at it again. I wonder what the right wing republicans are going to think of him now. He says he is a catholic...as far as I know...catholics believe in the truth of the Bible. I guess I should never be surprised by the things he will do to get attention. His next book will be about finding a personal relationship with God, asking for forgiveness for his comments and being born again!!! He should quit the news business and start his own reality tv program. He and Honey BooBoo would make a great pair. They have about the same IQ..should work out just fine!

Paul established the Church not Jesus.

I do think you are reading too much into this. O'Reilly simply stated what the Catholic church has always taught. The Bible is a complex book with many parts and meanings. It contains parables, metaphors, allegories, an eyewitness view of old testament Jewish law and tradition, and of coarse the Gospels which depict Christ's life, death and resurrection. It also contains Christ's/God's law and teachings(which many liberals want to reinterpret to fit their moral relativism). Only the protestant denominations, especially the Baptist take the entire text literally. That is why sola scriptura does not work. Christ established one church to keep his truths and empowered her to discern through the magesterium.

My bibles sit on my bookshelf between greek mythology and the Egyptian book of the dead

So Bill is a Theologian and Bible scholar now? How does he know what is allegorical and what is truth? If I, as a practicing Christian, want to believe all written in the Bible is true that is my faith, my belief and my decision. Bill stick to telling the truthful news and please stop trying to be what you are not. Thank you

As one who many years in Catholic schools including a Catholic college I never interpreted the Bible in a literal manner regarding it more allegorical. Bill O'Reilly freguently plays devils advocate when interviewing, those of us who watch regularily know that. Can anyone cite an example of him lying?
