You use REALITY to temper the Word. The Bible is NOT full of independent sound bites. It's a BIG picture, EVERYTHING MUST fit that picture. and SOME of it (contents of Bible) is PUT there by EVIL (constant scholar DEBATE about autthenticity. Thing is, if you treat EVIL, like a brother, you will be EATEN ALIVE. That is your FIRST (gift) duty (AVOID EVIL). There are plenty of "decent" asian, probably even a few niggers (who are not parasites? doubtful), maybe shit skins too. ANYWAY, you are NOT to treat heathens as enemies (destroy them, etc), you are to AVOID them. and those times when you can't (NOT LOOKING TO LIVE WITH THEM) by chance, proximity, you SHOW your Christian VALUES in their presence, but you DO NOT go too far, left to your discretion. COMMON SENSE. Evil people MISQUOTE (LOVE a MONSTER, be EASY PREY!) the Bible. USE the Bible. I was thinking about "forgive them, for they know not what they do" THIS MORNING. SURE, MOST of them (nobodies, spectators, soldiers, etc) don't. Those RESPONSIBLE DO KNOW what they DID. LIES, FRAUD, MURDER (and unrepentant), twisting the word to purposes it was NOT intended for. Jesus was asking this for those NOT responsible You HAVE to use reality and common sense (general intelligence). If you are a FALSE teacher (offer yourself up to your enemies, YOU ARE EVIL). The Bible DOES NOT say that. You are TWISTING the Bible into NONSENSE and conflicting information and it IS NOT.
