How would people know what exactly those laws are? Even God by His very own hand wrote down the law right from the very get go.No doubt there are some folks who think God has put it into their minds that it's fine to consume your neighbour.It's dangerous and shifting ground.
"Given this approach the skeptics target becomes both smaller and more difficult to hit all without threat to Christianitys teachings (which, after all, are the skeptics real prey)."
Ultimately it's the god of this world who drives attacks on the Word of God and his aim is to disarm christianity.The body of Christ has only one offensive weapon listed in their battle dress in Ephesians.
"The Bible at times I fear, becomes a hindrance for many."
It's far more than a hindrance to some.It is our only offensive weapon. Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
If it's souls you're after then putting aside the Word is going to let your enemy and theirs run roughshod over you both.
I know I've pretty much sidestepped your question but I honestly can't get past the thought of somehow moving the Bible to one side.In the times we live in I'd rather brandish the weapon than set it aside as a difficulty.
Just my $0.02 FWIW
Thanks for your 2 cents. It was well worth it, and while the question was posed, I do agree the word is needed, but we would have survived without it. Although it would have been much more difficult.
