[QUOTE="ebia, post: 58741634, member: 76497"] one has to read the bible like any other complex collections of texts - with discernment, reference to other information that can shed light on it, in dialog with others doing the same, and so forth. It's not a simplistic set of abstract timeless clear commands and isolated statements. If that's problematic for your thesis so be it. The problem I identified in your reading is clear enough from what you've said. I simply note that its a version of a very common problem in modern western readings. god chooses to go with the messy approach of working through people. IMO that's because that's the only effective way of putting us right. You can't fix up dysfunctional people by doing everything for them. that's fair enough, but you can't come in with your reading of a text and berate people for having a different approach. [/QUOTE]
