but whether you recognize it or not, you have a decidedly liberal view of Scripture
It’s just a faulty way of looking at the Bible. There’s no reason to pit any Scripture over any other Scripture. When you do that you destroy the unity of the Word. Every word Paul wrote was inspired by the Lord. And every word in the Old Testament was inspired by Him, too. When you read the Bible you are reading the words of God on the printed page. He used human authors, but He inspired every bit of it. If that’s not true, there’s no reason to believe any of it. If that’s not true, the Bible is just another book by men.
Initially I was thinking you might be a mainline Protestant, but now I’m guessing you’re Catholic.
