That was then; this is now.
What a wonderful way to brush history and TEACHINGS away...
Yes, it certainly was THEN, and in context of a very different world that existed centuries ago. You can’t apply your modern day PRETEXTS to these teachings while ignoring the historical contexts from which they arose from. Do you read all scripture with a literal modern day interpretation without the help of a divine teacher? If so you are leading yourself in error and ignoring the very gospel that tells us to defer to those “sent to teach” for proper guidance.
