Are you the Bible enforcer?
What's with all the insistence that we adopt *your* interpretation?
I'm not insisting on anything. If you don't believe my interpretation, then give me yours. Instead what you are doing is casting doubt upon the veracity of God's word. IMO that is a dangerous thing to do. Better to err on the side of caution than to accuse the Almighty of spreading falsehoods.
Did not God himself write the words on the tablets of stone? Or did Moses make up all that malarkey simply to appease and subjugate the ignorant Israelites?
