Words written by human people who were inspired to write of their experiences of God through the medium of their own culture at the time. It still counts being from God of course but it doesn't mean you have to stone people to death for working on the Sabbath Day or whatever, even the modern Jews have stopped doing that.

From God through a Bronze Age people so there will be plenty in there we won't agree with or do because we have a different culture. A more advanced/developed culture perhaps though this is not scientific but an objectively real spiritual advancement, the relationship we have with God is an ongoing process it didn't end with the Bible.


Quote:Dumb ass flip-flopping liberal phony Christian!

Much of our culture and moral values have been brought about through the Judeo-Christian tradition. Our social support systems and equality of human rights, the abolition of slavery and all that business has it's roots there. Going out on a limb I think there is a reasonable claim that secular democratic states and modern Western science have their foundations in this as well though you could also sort of trace this to the pagans of the Classical world and ancient Greece. Though it was all later re-discovered and implemented by the Christian West.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
