@Volunteer,
Again....you're
stuck in it. There is more to Christianity than the Bible. This there
was, even before the New Testament was promulgated. You want to isolate the Bible, view it as an authoritative book, when it's really a library, unify it, as if it were written by
one author, like a novel, and eventually give it a
God-like quality. Your temptation is to
worship the Bible, instead of God. That was never the intent. This interpretation is a distortion, insisted upon by many, for purposes of intellectual convenience. Ignorance is another key factor here. To feel correct, you read
more of the Bible,
about the Bible, stubbornly denying the validity of any other source. That's bad research and faulty reasoning. God gave you a
brain, as well as the Bible.
