The book is meta for you and metaphor me.
It was meant to be discerned from the mythology allegory and parables...OT and new in my opinion, your mileage obviously varies. If ya read ANY of the Bible as.literal fact (which I dont) it surely should not be the first book, nor the last (heaven forbid, lol) again all my opinion...
I think I get more mileage out of it as a hybrid...heehee...but whatever floats your boat.
Look I know many of us are dying old dinosaurs with archaic notions of grandeur...but these old weeds should not spread seeds to drown out future fruit...
Word games..
We are all sinners .. does that mean that we should discard the law, and freely commit sins?
It is true that faith saves .. but not if one does not act upon it.

"a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.”" (dictionary.com) Now that is a metaphor! Anthropomorphism, another term you might like that has very little to do with the direct moral teachings from the message of the Bible. You see what you want to see, not what is there.

Word games is believing that we can be good enough to please Allah.
big word professor will it be on the vocabulary test or should we all know it's usage for the final exam?
Can you tell us if your devil is advancing over the hill from your high horse sire?
Who said anything about believing that?
A hypocrite is a hypocrite.
You can find them amongst all religions.
Jesus never taught that sinning no longer matters.

Never said He did. He healed people and told them to "go and sin no more". You just don't get it. That's ok, I did not at one time either.
Nope that was Geraldine, his cross dressing drag character whom you enjoyed so much you quote.

might be less misunderstood if you used the word "inaccuracies" or "errors"
would that be a problem

Yes, these are not the in the same category, both of those words are not intentional. "inaccuracies" could be intentional.

What passage are you referring to here? Maybe I missed it in a previous post?
