We have God's word recorded in scripture to inform us.
I will say this, if you think the bible justifies killing babies in the womb, you are wrong.
Living by God's word is something we should all aspire to do. We will all fail and fall short, and He knows this and loves us anyway.
And I would ask ask, what better ways are there to know God than to study His word?
Because you said "i think there are far better ways to know God."
I was asking what you thought those ways were.
You haven't read the whole thing to know that those picky little rules in the Old Testament were given only to the Israelites. Even the Ten Commandments were only given to the Israelites, although Jesus reiterated them in various ways in the New Testament. Everyone is a sinner. No one is perfect. But right and wrong is spelled out in plain black and white in the Bible. And the KJV is at a 5th grade reading level, so you should be able to comprehend what it says.
That kind of stuff in the Old Testament doesn't apply to us. As I wrote before, most of the rules in the Old Testament were only given to the Israelites, not to the rest of the nations. The rest of the world had a simple set of rules dating from Noah's time. Until Christian missionaries visit a place, that's the rules they should have been following, as they should have been taught those by their elders.
Yes, the KJV is at modern 5th grade reading level. Of course you have to learn a few new vocabulary words, such as "begat." But it's not hard at all. If you can't read and understand it, you might not be smarter than a fifth grader.
BTW, "ye olde" is incorrect. In old books, the printers used a character that resembled a "y" to replace "th" in some words to save space and ink. So it's really "the olde." It was also replaced in other words. I think you might see that in the Gutenberg printing of the Bible. There are images online.
