The person who reacted to my articles on the bible seemed to think that by saying the bible is not what is claimed for it I was dismissing the value that DOES exist in the book, so let me clarify:
1. The bible IS an extremely important book
2. The bible DOES contain many important truths
3. The bible DOES contain considerable wisdom and insight and guidelines for life
4. The bible DOES contain important history relating to the people of Israel, the sons of Adam, Yahooshua, the early faith after Yahooshua, etc
5. The bible DOES contain inspired words from Yah and prophecies that have come to pass and which are expected to yet come to pass
6. The bible IS probably the most influential book on the planet
BUT, this does NOT make the bible what many claim it to be!!
AND that is no reason to put it on a pedestal and idolize it
I hope that this helps to remove any uncertainty regarding my views on this subject
