Yes, one of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain. (something to the affect of) It’s not the parts of the Bible that I don’t understand that bother me but the parts I do.
Here’s a thought to ponder: Rahab and Ruth were both non-Jews by blood. The mother passes her mDNA (mitochondrial DNA) to the off-spring; Jesus had non-Jewish mDNA; the Gospel was preached (is preached) to the non-Jewish as well as the Jew; the Apostles didn’t know about mDNA and hesitated to ‘authorize’ the Gospel to Gentiles, but it was meant to be from the start and even His DNA testifies to the efficacy of it!
