You are assuming that the "Bible" we have today was ever actually the word of "God". I don't believe that it ever was. It's just a collection of folk tales, anecdotes, and object lessons, with a bit of hearsay about actual scriptures sprinkled in for good measure. I grew up on that book. I have read it cover to cover. I know what I'm talking about. If you follow it, that book will mess you up Akhi.
