but I really believe we are supposed to follow the bible in its entirety
Why?
I mean why follow the bible and not harry potter?
Or the Mormon book, or the koran or <insert your fav. book here>?
I mean that Mormon guy who wrote that book claimed what ever he claimed, and lots of people believed him just because he said so, and so it is with the bible too.
Its beyond me why people in this day and age, still believe the bible to be true( I mean all whats related to non historical events, which even these are proven to be manipulated by the time of writing and the person who wrote them ).
Its proven and shown that some historical events appear more then once in the bible with various twists every time they are mentioned, to accommodate the context in which they were inserted in.
Any thing that you believe in that you don't KNOW FOR A FACT (that means that you have empirical facts to prove its existence) is nothing more than a believe, that in no way can be treated as a factual fact.
So if you like to believe the bible, go ahead be my guest.
If you have an intellectual desire to debate it, that fine too.
What I find quite annoying however is people who preach it as if it was a fact, and on top of that, try to force others to live according to their interpretation of that non factual book/belief.
