I have neither the energy nor qualification to enter this domain.
Ironically, i tot it's the Old testament that anti-xtians often ridicule especially all the (1) sex, violence, incest & other x-rated stuff (2) literal vs figurative interpretation in terms of archaelogy finds & creation narrative etc.....
in any case, I do not necessarily think less of the bible even if it is inerrant - as it is, they say it is god's word thru man's mouth/pen (prophet) etc - this itself is open to all kinds of expected controversies / limitations....
To me most importantly, if anything in bible, old or new testament, inspire or guide one to a more uplifting, hamless, happy & meaningful life, by all means. That's the crux .... as for save-a-soul, help establish his kingdom on earth, sorry i leave that to the Lord & his mysterious ways ....
Like some others here, my bible is my church & temple ... I distrust all human institution & god-spokesman.
But that's just me.... your fidelity to the veracity of translation-free original word is most commendable in any case....
