If that's not what you meant you should choose your words more carefully.

Oh come on. It's a fact they were written by humans! That doesn't mean the message didn't necessarily come from God.
I chose the words "written by humans" purposely to allow for the possibility that they were changed or enhanced. Saying it's "fine" if you believe they are the literal word of God allows for the possibility they are the unvarnished truth.
I respect everyone's take on religion and spirituality, but this getting into the weeds is not suitable for this forum, in my opinion. We can pick apart each others words for hours, as has been going on since religion first appeared.
That said, I can't help but notice you've dodged the key question twice: "So does that mean we can ignore Jesus' admonition not to judge?"
