hmmm...
What can be done? We see what is often done, provided in examples of "what is thought to be [equivalent to] 'scripture' " --examples of that being abundant enough throughout the world... which do find repetitions of those same examples posted on the pages of this little 'internet ghetto' of sorts, --of ours that we so dearly cherish, at least I do cherish-- which is [the 'religion forum' pages most particularly, of] FreeRepublic...
In rational answer to treatments of Scripture which purport to say what the Scripture does not say on it's textual face -- that 'face' understood in context and origination towards what it was intended to convey (whether to much imply, if not say more explicitly) being confused/conflated with being the Scripture itself, what can be said, what can be done but to somehow clarify what is being said, how that is being sought to apply -- then -- what is either wrong (or even possibly right) concerning such things?
You have already answered your own question, and do so quite regularly, in your own thought-provoking ways. Salute (herding little goats [and sheep, don't forget the sheep] around ain't always easy, but getting out on minor walkabout(s) can remind of us of the supernatural origins of the air which we naturally breathe).
AMEN!
