The Bible as in every word is either, truth from the lips of God, or none of the words of the Bible are truth from the lips of God. We believers cannot have it both ways, picking, choosing and ignoring the words that are discomforting. The Bible has been passed to us as a hand me down from God but it is not true blue God. That supposed Bible is an idol, along with the other everyday idols of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Every writer of every book is a unique interpreter of God with unavoidable blind spots and expressed God clarity. All the words of the Bible have value but only as they are put into the context of their historical time, made relevant to our time and the 5000 year God narrative. All Scripture has value but not equal value, that is where you and I come in. The complicated can be fun.
