I am probably the last person to talk about the Bible, as I will acknowledge that I do not know very much about it.
But, it seems (like many other religious books) that you can find passages to fit your point of view, even if they are totally opposite to each other.
One example I have heard:
Doesnt part of the Bible say "an eye for an eye" yet another part says "turn the other cheek"AGAIN, I do not know the Bible too much, so the above is probably taken out of contacts, but it is one example that I think of.
The Bible has many layers. Some things that can be taken literally, also have deeper meanings, when you connect the books as a whole or when you know the background or the everyday life of the time it was written.
Tomorrow is Easter, the day Christ arose from the dead and walked away from his tomb. If you are a bit curious about that, pick up a good reference Bible and do some reading. The first five books of the New Testament is where I would start...

It's just a book, written by men.
Dewey, you're wrong on multiple levels.
I hope it’s merely a typo that you confuse mark for Dewey. I have met both mark and Dewey in person. They are two different people.

If you believe, as Jolly does, that the Bible is inerrant, infallible, immutable, then you cannot accept any of the explanation I've just offered. -
Thanks for post that again. That was an interesting discussion

No, I meant exactly what I said. Figure it out.

I'm getting older. I wouldn't put near that much effort in trying to explain apostasy.
I doubt Larry would, either.

You quoted @mark's post and called him "Dewey."
It's quite easy to figure out that it's either a typo, or you have mistaken @mark for Dewey, or you thought the two are one and the same.
If you meant something else, then you were not saying what you thought you meant. -
