It's really the tone of your posts that comes off as disrespectful, PTS. You seem to have the attitude that all other opinions are wrong and yours are unequivocally right. No matter how many times you call everyone else a liar and claim to be right, you're still stating an OPINION. The bible wasn't written by god. It was written by men. Whether god inspired the men to write it is debatable, and if you chose to believe that he did, that's a matter of FAITH, not of FACT.

Besides, where in the scriptures does Jesus say to follow everything in the bible? Hell, his word contradicts some parts of the old testament. Turn the other cheek, or eye for an eye? In the old testament, God openly condones stoning on several occasions. Yet, Jesus says 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." They're both in the same book, but they're complete contradictions. And there are many, many other contradictions in the bible. It doesn't take much searching to find, literally, lists of them. Not everything is meant to be taken literally, not everything is black and white.
