The bible was written by men inspired by God... I voted option 1.
So do you believe women should be stoned for adultery even in this post-modern world we live in now, if you believe everything in the Bible should be taken literally?
Christians are not bound by the old laws. Stop using those cheap strawmen.
Well, this entire thread is a straw man.
I believe the bible is the revealed word of God to mankind. But I only take it literally where it was meant to be taken literally and I take it figuratively where it was meant to taken figuratively. And I believe that distinction is obvious – if it compares us to sheep, that doesn’t mean the bible is trying to say that people are literally sheep, it simply means it is comparing common attributes between the behavior of the two groups.
