(For the traditional Jewish perspective, strike out the words \\\"and Christ\\\" and \\\"like in Paul\\\'s letters,\\\" and reduce the number of years by two to six hundred years.) There is debate among Christians over just what \\\"divinely inspired\\\" entails; some say this means everything in the Bible should be taken completely at face value, while others hold that some parts (like the book of Genesis, for example) are meant to be taken as allegorical or symbolic writings, not to be interpreted literally. The latter view is held by most mainline Protestant denominations and is the official position of the Catholic Church.”

When the English text reads \\\"LORD\\\" in ALL CAPS, it\\\'s a circumlocution for YHWH—the taboo against speaking his name wasn\\\'t in effect until the Hebrew Bible had already been written.”
-
There is a Jewish custom against saying or speaking God’s name in public or most places. I believe the “custom” of “not speaking his name” was made before the entire Bible was written.

“Iron was good for keeping fairies from steeling your baby and replacing it with a changeling. Coincidentally enough, it also says the Bible itself repels fairies just as well as iron.”

Does the Bible really mention fairies?
