Yep.

That is wher e the Episcopalian "church" is leading.

They are working towards making the Bible a general suggestion and not the Word of God.[/quote]

Episcopalians haven't taken the Bible literally for centuries -- because they study the human origins of the Bible[/quote]
This is the essence of unbelief. If you don't accept Scripture as divinely inspired, you do not believe, and you are not a Christian. I'm not sure why some people insist that they are followers of a faith they don't have. [/quote]

Divinely inspired, yes. The literal word of god, no. If you take every word in the Bible literally, then I assume you’re following everything in Leviticus about what to wear, etc?  [/quote]
This argument shows an extreme lack of knowledge about what the Bible says. It's probably something most people who use it have found quoted on a web site somewhere, and it sounds really smart, but it's not. I'd wager most people who use it haven't even read the actual text. If I take "every" word literally in the Bible, then I have to read beyond Leviticus, because there are a lot of words if you keep going. Try reading the Gospels, Acts, Romans, Galatians and especially Hebrews as well and see how this argument sounds after you do. If nothing else (and there is a LOT else), those were Jewish laws, not Gentile ones. Gentiles, of which I am one, are not bound by the Levitical law. The Bible [i]literally[/i] says that (in Romans 2, for example). This is such a tired, worn-out old argument.[/quote]
