Obviously not to be taken literally. Intended meaning- to shrug off the contents as unquestionally binding, absolute truth- bearing on all men universally- then it is no longer the Bible.

If my belief is -one word in the Scriptures is not God breathed, then I become God-I have written my own Bible.

Really? We "become God?" Like, with the power to create an entire Universe and stuff? Just by not believing a tribe's creation story is literally true, confers the power to make a Big Bang and create galaxies and quasars and stuff? We could solve the high price of energy! I'm not a literalist believer in the Genesis stories. So how do I go about creating a Universe with my supposed God-like powers? Utter magic words? Smite something? Throw a lightning bolt?

Here's reality: I have no God-like powers. Nobody does. Treating a tribe's creation myth as ... a tribe's creation myth does not confer any God-like powers on anybody, does not result in people "writing their own Bible," does not result in the Bible "no longer being the Bible," or anything else.
