Flunder asserted that the Bible\u2019s inspiration and divine power are not as clear as some believe, suggesting that pages should be pulled out and that the Bible is \u201cwords about God,\u201d not the Word of God. She also claimed to hear God speaking to her and expressed frustration with the Bible\u2019s tone, prompting strong backlash from Christians.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >article notes extensive online reaction<\/a>, including a tweet from Protestia claiming \u201cThe New Testament is NOT the word of God,\u201d and a range of comments from readers condemning or questioning her views. The piece presents Flunder\u2019s personal background-her marriage to Shirley Miller-and depicts the controversy as a significant challenge to orthodox Christian interpretation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A lesbian self<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-is-embracing-the-brat-label-should-the-gop-be-concerned\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris Is Embracing the \u2018Brat\u2019 Label\u2026 Should the GOP Be Concerned?\">-proclaimed &#038;ldquo<\/a>;pastor&rdquo;

In a video shared by Protestia, she argued that certain biblical passages-such as Paul\u2019s instructions for slaves and the injunction for women to remain silent in church-illustrate why the text is flawed. Flunder, who is married to a woman, said she remains a believer but is frustrated by how the Bible portrays God, suggesting that parts of it should be removed. She also questioned whether the Bible itself is the Word of God, insisting that it is \u201cwords about God\u201d rather than the Word. The remarks sparked strong reactions from Christians online, with some agreeing that the statement was dangerous and others criticizing her for challenging Scripture.
