I believe it to be largely influenced by the cultural, the times, and the gender of the writers.

But I do believe that it has a purpose. Not only a historical purpose. But it is the best written account we have of Jesus.

But I believe that it is the Spirit that is to lead us, guide us, teach us, comfort us, etc. (not the book).

I do believe that the book contains a lot of wisdom.

This not what the bible says...
