On the surface, this argument is “consistency.” Of course the surface argument covers something much deeper. To condense and clarify, two options when speaking about the Bible: 1. The Bible is the Word of God, not human-made but revealed. Therefore it is the primary standard by which other decisions must be made. Therefore it drives intent of law, merit of other books, etc. or 2. The Bible is not the Word of God, human-made and not revealed. Therefore something else is the primary standard by which other decisions must be made. Approaches to the Bible, along with intent of law, merit of other books, etc, is driven by something else. What is the “something else” in point two? Nothing that measures up to the Bible in terms of justice and goodness. My money is on option #1, ill-conceived partial quoting of it notwithstanding.
