As soon as anyone creates their own book, especially one that contradicts the bible, it has to be questioned.
Of course, I wonder how Peg deals with the contradictions within the numerous books of the Bible themselves?
As an anthology, the Bible is quite far from being consistent and non-contradictory.
Never mind individual books contradicting each other (or being inconsistent), Genesis alone seems to do that within itself.
And then there's the fact that the Bible was created by man, and there are numerous editions of the anthology and there have been numerous additions to the anthology.
I guess what all this means is that we can throw the Bible out. I, for one, won't miss it.

Re: Spiritual Death
Real quickly, this is a "do'h!" moment:
I quoted you a scripture from the bible, and you chose to use the BOM to contradict it rather then use the bible to show me why I am wrong.
Tell me, what's the difference between the KJV, the Vulgate, and the Eastern Orthodox bibles? Oh yeah, they all include or exclude certain books that the other has.
Esdras and Odes seem to be missing from the vulgate and KJV.
The KJV is missing Tobias, Judith, Maccabees 1, 2, 3, and 4 (Vulgate misses Maccabees 3 and 4), and Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible has several books that neither the KJV, Vulgate, or Eastern Orthodox have.
So if I quote something from the Book of Tobias, or perhaps Maccabees 3 or 4, or maybe Esdras, I'm obviously not using a book of the bible to support my position.
Let's not even get started on the numerous translations and how they differ and thus potentially change the message.
When you can show that every single christian uses the exact same bible, your argument might hold some water. As it is, you're sinking fast.
