I can't agree with that simply because since the Bible was composed/compiled ~1,500 years ago we have learned so much about the history behind it. That doesn't mean you throw it away, but that you learn from the teachings within it and understand that it's not literal history.

That has not been my experience growing up through the two different churches and as I've studied this stuff (I find the history behind it fascinating) I have rarely come across anyone who says they were taught it growing up. I'm glad that you've seen it talked about openly.

It may have been discussed openly; rarely is it ever discussed honestly.

I don't think Josh's point was very controversial tbh. There's a lot of reporting on millennials leaving religion and it's not crazy to think maybe the church is too rigid and outdated. The majority of catholics believe in gay marriage. 2/3 don't believe in transubstantiation.
-
Even the people who say they believe in transubstantiation don't really believe in transubstantiation

Josh is talking about churches that don't give "homilies" I grew up in a Methodist church in the Bible Belt, and neither authorship of the Bible not canonization were ever discussed or taught - first exposure was in college - and I went to church every time the doors were open
