Note: "every word," not "some words." The counterargument of many cafeteria Christians is to assert, typically [[Logical_fallacy#Manufacturing_facts_from_a_theory|without evidence]], that the word of the authors of certain parts of the Bible is not necessarily the word of God.  However, absent evidence that a certain passage of the Bible is not God's Word (e.g., Paul's explicit statement that he is expressing a personal view), that counterargument is [[beg the question|circular]], as it assumes the propriety of cherry-picking the Bible in order to justify cherry-picking the Bible.

Few would argue, for example, with the statement: 'However, the bible cannot be interpreted literally, if this was the case then rebellious children would be killed: Deuteronomy 21:18-21. Or Jesus's word, "If any man come to me, and [[hate]] not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple," Luke 14:26.  Also, Women may not speak in church: Cor 14:33-36. The bible is not a collection of dogmatic and strict rules, it is a book of God that promotes compassion, faith in God, truth, and love.'<ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexuality</ref>
