    This is… not what the bible says. The bible doesn’t suggest that the bible is the word of man and subject to interpretation or waffling. It says that women are lesser than men and should be subject to them and it says it very very clearly.

      Al the books in the new testament are named after the man who told the story or wrote the letters, so yes it does.

        You should read up on the concept of the Canon. They are part of the New Testament, which is part of the Bible, which is Scripture. This is objective fact. There is no slinking away from that even if the words may disturb you.

        But those men were divinely inspired, right? After all that’s what I, an atheist, keep hearing from apologists.

        I think its pretty clear that the word of man is not just like their opinion its the inspiration of the divine. It’s not really up for debate.
