I have a Bible. I want to know where you get your screwball exegesis from.

Well, if you have one you should read it some time. But since most english versions are awful at best, and deliberately deceptive at worst, I recommend the one I linked.

Ad hominem

Unjustified claim

nth challenge to theological position ignored in favor of the above-mentioned

You asked where my plain recitation of scripture comes from, and I answered you. If you don’t like that scripture doesn’t support your wickedness, that’s between you and God, not me. That you can only attack me rather than the scripture itself is telling. 😞

Ignores the term exegesis which exists because objectivity is impossible when reading historical texts

Doubles down on anachronistic interpretation that projects modern poltical and social climate onto 2000 year old scriptures which by own admission require anthropological awareness

Another ad hominem for good measure

Won't touch argument about origin of the scriptural canon with a ten foot pole
