Nor am I out to change anyone’s mind. We’re just discussing subject matter of mutual interest on a discussion forum.

Yes. But I don’t worship the Bible.
Christianity would still be true if every Bible and manuscript in the world were non-existent. To me, the foundation of Christianity is not a collection of ancient writings we call the Bible. To me, the foundation of Christianity is the reality of God and the historicity of Jesus, His life and teachings, His death, and especially His Resurrection. In fact, the New Testament wouldn’t even exist unless the Resurrection occurred. So, to me, while all of the Bible can help us to more fully understand God and and follow Jesus, we don’t need all of the Bible to understand its most important message—the Gospel.
