No True Scotsman

[Esquilax]

Just because something is in the bible doesn't indicate whether is it's right or wrong. We don't stone adulterers any more or kill kids for disobeying their parents. It also speaks of wrongs done by people that God never condoned.

So the bible, a book purporting to be the will of god, can and does have explicit instructions, masquerading as the word of god, that are not, in actuality, god's words? So how do you know which instructions are the false ones, and which aren't?

Let me guess: all the stuff that'd make you look bad is man's word, and all the stuff that'd make you look good is god's word? But you've got no justification for thinking that the reverse isn't true.
