And Tim, you are entitled to your view of the Bible but it does not help those of using the Bible as our term of reference. In my case, I do not believe the Bible is perfect or inerrant, but I believe most of it. If/when God knows we are ready for an update, He will give us a "Newer Testament". Until then, it is His word as best we know.
For those who may question what parts of the Bible I question it is not that simple to answer. Part of my doubt comes from science. Some from parables that lead me to poor conclusions on how to live my life. Part from knowing man wrote and translated it; man is fallible and every man has an agenda; and lastly, why some books are not included.
