I believe the Bible is an accurate history.
When God or Jesus are quoted in the Bible, I believe their words must be obeyed.
I do not understand, though, why people consider the words of the epistles to be the Word of God. The epistle writers were imperfect human beings, and I don’t think the Lord ever intended we should consider their words to be equal to the words of God. There is much to learn from these writers—they had much to teach us—but I think it is unwise to automatically believe everything they say.
