It's more than that, at least to me. The Bible is a tremendous wealth of insights into the Human Creature. Besides having that opposable thumb thingy, we've got "Free Will" :-)
To me the Bible has mostly been a study in "consequences" of the exercise of Free Will. The Phophecy portions seem to be the ultimate results of man's nature.
This has always been a bitter bone of contention for my dog.
shhhhhh! You are going to upset the Calvanist. shhhhhh!
We don't have a free will. We don't have a free will. We don't have a free will. We don't have a free will. We don't have a free will.
There now, I feel better and more convinced.
