And no, I wouldn't consider myself to be a liberal Christian. I'm actually fairly conservative when it comes to my beliefs. I don't know what I'd consider myself... perhaps a thinking Christian.

I didnt suggest Liberal Christians rewrote dogma. I suggested they changed it to suit their ideas...which was exactly why I posted the articles I did. The biggest issue with
man made tomes is that everyone will have a different idea of what it stands for, or means....in other words,
Interpretation. If the omniscient God actually wrote the bible for man, I would think its clarity would be straightforward for all generations...as he could foresee everything in advance of his creation(s), and ensure its clarity for all times.
