Why would you listen to anything Paul wrote if you think he was only coming up with everything he wrote based on his own experience?

Supposedly Paul has a relationship with God, was inspired by God, and was listening to God when he wrote.  If you don’t believe this, I don’t understand what your authority would be.  It seems like a slippery slope to just throw away anything in the New Testament that does not mesh with modern social mores.

We live in the modern world.  There’s no knife to your neck if you want to do your own thing and ignore the Bible.  But I don’t understand this washing out the Bible and saying “oh Paul was a product of his time.”  Why bother with the Bible at all then?  And if so what authority do you follow?[/quote]

Do you think the Old Testament was equally inspired? So God was inspiring and agreeing with the passages promoting slavery or the human sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter?

Did God change his mind, or is it that we are supposed to take the Old Testament in context of the times  -- but not the New Testament?[/quote]

This discrepancy of taking the New Testament over the Old- is addressed multiple times in the New Testament, starting with Jesus’ own statements.  [/quote]
