BTW, the Bible is 66 works gathered into one volume. The first half is pre-Jesus but had prophecies predicting Jesus. The Israelites had to survive wars, not just for their property, but also for their religion. The enemies had to be completely annihilated. When they failed in that, problems arose.
So you're saying that putting words in mouth means something?
Right, so the Bible is a product of its place and time, but still contains much valid and timeless wisdom. Do you think there is a wrong way and a right way to interpret the Bible?
There is a war going on right now, and there are only two sides. If you think that muslims in general are on the side of death, then you clearly never interact with them.
I've read the Koran. I've read their history. Islam was originally a peaceful religion, but Mohammed wasn't getting many converts as they thought it was boring. So he quickly added jihad and raping and pillaging. The numbers zoomed upwards as men said right on. This is actual history. Any Muslim who seems peaceful now is just biding his time until there is a call to action.
Most of the Bible is black and white and in straightforward language. The King James Version is actually written for a 5th grade reading level. The Bible is factual. As time goes by, more and more of the history in the Bible is being confirmed.
so you're saying that certain questionable statements in the Bible are overruled by other concepts in the same work?
Exactly which statements are questionable?
