I agree with Jack that the intent of his last sentence depends on the
context provided by his preceding sentences.
For example, Christians might think they are operating from a code of
behavior directly stated by Jesus or from other divinely inspired words
in the Bible; however, to the extent the code of behavior appearing in
the Bible is just a rephrasing of Aristotle or the Code of Hammurabi,
one might question whether the Bible is divine (or divinely inspired)
rather than simply plagiarized from earlier thinkers.
