The text itself shows you wrong about this but the debate is getting tiresome. You’ll believe what you want to believe regardless of what is written, that much is clear. Understand that what you’re saying, laudable though it may appear to modern ears, results in other Biblical passages appearing to be “wrong.” As a Christian you accept scripture as truth however, therefore it is not scripture that is “wrong,” but you. Remember that, it will serve you well in other, less controversial matters. I’m sure you’ll want to have the last word, so feel free. I’m done with this, though. Have a nice day.
I just don’t see the ambiguity of Exodus. It means what it says.
