I agree....if there is anything that appears to be controversial, confusing or convoluted about any passage of the Bible it has to do with a misunderstanding on the part of the reader, not the penman or ultimately the author.
Well it is like reading Adam blaming God and that 'woman' that God gave him for his sin. Political correctness has NOT only afflicted the political stage, it is just NOT religiously correct to accept what God had his elect write. But hey as it is Written there is nothing new under the sun... some preachers/priests do it for the fame and fortune.
