"...the Bible. If it is just a reference book, then throw it away..."

Huh?? If it's a reference book, how about, um, keep it and refer to it? As appropriate. That's what reference books are for. Different reference books for different questions, and so on. Who would throw away reference books?

Obviously not to be taken literally. Intended meaning- to shrug off the contents as unquestionally binding, absolute truth- bearing on all men universally- then it is no longer the Bible.

If my belief is -one word in the Scriptures is not God breathed, then I become God-I have written my own Bible.
