"God did n't write the Bible . People wrote it to the best of their understanding . They can be mistaken in their understanding ."
"Well again , this is not what the Bible claims of itself . 2Ti 3:16 All scripture [ is ] given by inspiration of God , and [ is ] profitable for doctrine , for reproof , for correction , for instruction in righteousness : 17 That the man of God may be perfect , throughly furnished unto all good works . In fact , Jesus himself quotes Genesis as though it were literal history ( cf . Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:4 , 5 ) . Additionally , Jesus himself said that he was subject to the Old Testament : Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets . I did not come to destroy but to fulfill . The `` law and the prophets `` are a common reference for `` scripture `` or the Old Testament . Either the Bible is what it claims to be , or it is not . If it is not what it claims to be , then how can we possibly trust that Jesus was who he claimed to be ? The two concepts are directly tied together ."
