Yikes. There is quite a pattern developing in the religious right, in the US at least. We are turning back the clock folks.

Now that’s the word of God. It’s eternal, unchanging

Hasn't the Bible been translated from Greek and Hebrew multiple times?

also even Christians can't agree on what it means--do you know how many fucking schisms Christianity has? (and don't ask about the one which created the Southern Baptists...)

We're still trying to learn our lesson from the Tower of Babel. It's a work in progress. All of the disagreements, though, are over relatively minor details. If you read statements of faith from various churches, you see they're basically all the same in the essentials.

Don;t forget the books the the church in the 1600's decided shouldn't be in the bible.

Yes, and some of them are pretty wacky translations. But the underlying word of God is unchanging.

And didn't the Catholic Church shuffle around what books were included in the Bible over the years? Like didn't they take a bunch of books out?
