Is there an explanation of how God is infallible and yet the Old Testament Exists?

Yeah, it proves s/he's got a sense of humour. Doesn't mean he's right, though.

If you're referring to me, then let me tell you that I'm not only right, I'm also not female. Make of that what you will.

What you say, Ceiling Cat?

Ceiling Cat say, man talk about Ceiling Cat in crazy way, Ceiling Cat not responsabuhl.

Don't you get it yet: it's all crap.

Exactly, the usual competition of invisible friends.

More to the point...

Be there a Sky Pixie, Ceiling Cat, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Nobodaddy or Jehovah on high, it wouldn't make a difference to how we should treat one another.

Isn't the usual excuse that the old testament (or at least the mostly Judaic sources it is drawn from) are "G-d's word" mediated through an author, and therefore open to error?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a more Liberal / Reform point of view? I tend to believe that the Law was part of a progressive revelation guided by The Eternal rather than a one off.

I thought that more stricter Orthodox interpretations regard the whole Torah as given in totality by The Eternal at Sinai?
