The only way to understand the Bible in it's entirety is to read the whole thing yourself. I am confident that if you were to read it all for yourself, you would have a much different point of view. I am not saying that you should, and I am not going to stop talking to you if you don't.

I whole heartily agree that context matters most and believe me I have read a lot of passages in that list. I even wondered if these inconsistency are due to poor translation.

I don't think we are debating here as that would mean there are winners and losers. I think this discussion. An exchange of ideas and thoughts, an honest dialog.
