That’s textbook eisegesis. That’s my only argument.
I wholeheartedly support your conclusion. I was the attorney for a child abuse victim in a particularly aggregious case back in the 90’s. I loathe molesters and believe the death penalty should be in play in certain instances because what was done to my client was unspeakable. That case led to a few more. I later did some work with SNAP to expose molesting clergy.
We’re cool. I Understood your beef, and I agree.
As I said, I used only half the verse to get my point across. Not to make a theological point.
I used the ignorance of many over the Scriptures to drive my point home to them. It worked.
Maybe I’ll write a theological article stating your point as to whom this and the ones before and after it were directed at.
