You "defend" the bible by choosing to read it in a way that suits your own opinion\
Not at all. I have said many times here on TFS, and even to you, to
read all of the bible.
Not a single christian that I have conversed with on TFS (including you), and few in the real world, have ever told people to read the bible.
I've told people to read it and learn it.
Their opinions of it are their own.
Not actually half, but the truth is the truth. Paul's story is clearly BS.
This is also false. I attack Christians for not reading all of it and for not truly studying their own holy book. If a person doesn't read it, they can't
know what it says.
Its very simple Bob.
No he isn't. The bible was his idea. It was at his direction. It was the product of his guidance.

The theology of guys like Justin Martyr predates the official compilation of the NT but squares with it entirely from what I have read of him. In terms of basic theology you could just read stuff from the Church Fathers for a lot of it.
And what of all the other "books" and writings that never made it into the bible? There were plenty that don't agree with the writings that became the bible.
Have you read any of those early christian writings? Or are you just stating what you've been told?
And who wrote those early christian writings? One cannot know if one does not study the history of it.
Is is hilarious that I am the one that keeps telling you christians to read your own holy book, study your own holy book, study the history of your own holy book....and then you christians, as you have just done, try to act like I am the one who is being bad or something.
Well....I'm going to be evil again: All you christians, and you Bob in particular, GO AND FULLY READ YOUR OWN HOLY BOOK FROM 1ST WORD TO LAST WORD. THEN STUDY IT. DON'T TRUST WHAT PEOPLE, ANY PERSON, TELLS YOU IT SAYS. FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. READ IT. ALL OF IT. STUDY IT. AND THEN, STUDY THE HISTORY OF IT.
Oh No..... Chaski is being mean to christians again!
