Apparently you consider an honest appraisal of the facts in this case to be a nasty personal attack. Yet the facts remain as they are regardless of your objection, where such an objection reflects further back on you, not on the person making such an observation. Those observations are valid based on the following: The Bible is a rich resource of literature. Containing everything from geneological records, to history, prose, poetry, metaphorical stories, parables, prophesy, information delivered by 'inspired' persons, messages delivered by Angels, and a few words attributed directly to God. This is all subject to as many forms of interpretations as there are inhabitants of the world willing to give it a shot. Some claiming to be scholarly enough to have the one and only correct interpretation, even while these scholars distinguish themselves into sects and factions, who've historically engaged in genocidal wars against one another. Then we move on to the NT which has itself had a similar history of traumatic handling. It is all, however, underlain with a code of morality which narrows to one concept, 'caring for that which is beneficial for others.' Not beneficial in the sense of what others may see as desirable but to that which is more of a long term beneficial well being. You have chosen to post Biblical dogma in an on going manner with no apparent concern for the well being of those you are engaging. In fact, your conduct has represented the very opposite, or a violation, of the core and essential message promoted both in the OT and the NT. You have abused others with misrepresentations of their conduct on numerous occasions. This is all definitional to hypocrisy, deceit, and fraud. I have asked you for an explanation or a justification for your conduct. I have also encouraged you to consider a more benevolent path, but you respond only that you are being subjected to nasty personal attacks, or with your own attacks on me or other posters here abouts. Those are simply the facts.
