No problem fren. There is so much misunderstanding about this topic. I spend a great deal of time trying to educate Christians on what they think their Bibles say versus what it actually does say within its appropriate historical and cultural context. I had to spend many years of study and learn the languages just to find out for myself what it actually says. Most people are actually pretty pissed when they find out about the level of misinterpretation that has been spun throughout the centuries for geopolitical and cultural control. These texts don't exactly translate in English well - or another other language for that matter. Lots of translation bias for sure. Thanks for the discourse.
Yup, I did misunderstand, apologies.
And I also agree with you about the medical vs religious ritual. It's a great point to bring up for Christians to think about.
