There you go again hanging onto floating snippets of scripture that separate from the bark. This is why Bible-Christians have become a source of inquisitive query from scholars on how this shallow group has been formed. As soon as they are forced into the deep end of the pool to defend “their” (read that as 35,000 sects) beliefs they drown.
No small wonder that dozens of serious Protestant theologians who taught, wrote books, and preached in colleges, foursquare etc finally ditched what they came to accept as a disjointed and fraudulent piece of nonsense.
In just under a decade, its now official “Protestant” theology of the scripture that allows for married gay and lesbian partners as among Lutherans, Unitarians, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, or the First AME “this or the First “that” or give it any name like “Emmanuel Church.”
On the other extreme we have all those vapid Chinese fortune-cookie encapsulations of scripture from Billy Graham to the Joel Osteen to Rick Warren with their silly stuff earning fortunes for themselves and their families.
This is the sheer rot including this born-again” rubbish embraced by the Oprah-Winfrey Bible Christians that renowned theologians sneer down. Sometimes, it is even deadly. Just ask the followers of David Joresh and Jim Jones.
This is exactly follows when street readers of scripture are given to lazy reading and deny Petrine authority.
Keep babbling.
I’ll read your stuff.
