Our task isn't to create meaning but rather discover the meaning intended by the author.

I didn't say it was. I just want to know how we are supposed to look at it from the viewpoint of the people living in those times. We don't live in those times.

I'm not saying the bible changes through time. I'm simply saying there is no feasible way to do that. We can read it, and try to understand it as best as we can in context, but we will never understand it from the position of the people living in those times. To think that we could--seems rediculous to me.
