The Bible is a book, written down by men (whether or not it is inspired by God, the hand of man produced it). It has been translated multiple times, from earlier translations, with the verbage tweaked to meet the politics/beliefs of the day. I don't trust the human authors to have any more insight to God's will than anyone else...
Well, since you don't take the Bible seriously then we have nothing further to talk about.
'The Bible is a book, written down by men (whether or not it is inspired by God, the hand of man produced it)."
To which I have physical proof: I used to belong to Second Baptist in Houston, Tx (great church). Doctor Ed Young (an Excellent pastor)once cleared up a mystery for me during a sermon. I had inherited a 250 year old Lutheran Psalm book in which were numerous woodcuts (etchings). I recognized all the pictures but one was confusing: a man who appeared to be Moses with two tablets in his hand but depicted wearing horns on his head! One day Doctor Young explained that an early mistranslation in the first German bibles of the word for radiant (when Moses came down the mountain from seeing God he was radiant) was mis-translated in the first ever German bibles to the word "horned" due to a similarity in the Latin or Greek words. Thus my early German book showed Moses coming down from the mountain with "horns" on his head! You can imagine the confused Germans pondering the unknowable mind of God, when realy it is the very fallible mind of MAN messing up HIS work.....
