im not understanding here, neither what you are saying , nor what the author of this piece is saying (that is, if i give him the benefit of the doubt that he is not trying to rewrite scripture)

this is not complicated. it is not rocket science. you dont have to be a Greek philosopher to understand the bible. it was written for a primitive society (by today's standards) and they were NOT Greek philosophers.
