As for your saying you believe in some things but not in others . . . I suppose you think you can pick and choose from what you want and reject as 'changed for political reasons' the stuff you don't agree with. But that's no basis for textual analysis.
Sorry, the Bible is not a Chinese menu.
You are free to believe what ever you want. Would you like us to say that back and forth over and over and you say how right you are and me say how wrong you are. I don't see the point.
You are never going to have everyone agree with you. It's not going to happen. Look at how many differnt *versions* of Christianity there are. You may get some little negative ego hit in putting down the way I see things. You have your reward if you make that choice. There are plenty of things I could say about your beliefs but have chosen not to. I think you are wrong and I am right. I prefer my beliefs to yours. Get over it.
