There are two worlds within Christianity. In one the Bible is a sacred text with a history and context that should figure into how it is read and interpreted. In the other it was dictated by God/Jesus and cannot be questioned or put in context and there's basically no way to have bridge that divide.

Historical, Chronological, and Circumstantial context are all vital to understanding.
Did I ever say what you just said? I did not. If the shoe fits, wear it, as my Grandmother said. If not, why are you upset unless you find yourself afraid there IS a line beyond which you aren't willing to question or contextualize, then there's some place to apply reflection.
First, I am not upset.
Second, maybe you did not mean to imply that there are only two worlds when you wrote "There are two worlds within Christianity".
You also wrote "there's basically no way to have bridge that divide."
I believe that men wrote what God told them to write. 2 Peter 1:20-21
