The New Testament account of Jesus actually shows him as taking a "liberal" rather than "fundamentalist" stance toward the historic Jewish writings. At some points he quoted them to support his own teachings. At other times he felt free to say "it is written", but go on to say "but I say" and express his disagreement with an "Old Testament" adage.

Nick, When I was growing up, every living soul nearest and dearest to me believed in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. I absorbed that, especially at the Bible camp where I had a personal conversion experience at 13. It was so important to us that the Bible be the "Word of God" that, in reading it, we filtered all our reactions to, and perceptions of, things that we never could have accepted in the same way in any other book. I hope two things for you. First, that you come to see the Bible realistically. Dealing with anything in life realistically, rather than in terms of wishful thinking, is a lot healthier. Second, I hope that you can reach that first point without such an emotional shakeup that you "throw out the baby with the bath water" spiritually, rather than drop back and consider your faith and spiritual experience in a broader light.
