    I was also trained in the use of exegetical BS to contradict the clear meaning of the text.

    The Bible is a Roman imperial project, commissioned by an emperor.

      Ah yes, the Romans commissioned “The Bible” as if there aren’t 450+ versions in print in English alone with wide variations of included, excluded and revised content. I’m so glad that you personally were able to find the clear meaning of the text in a book that has entirely passed through 3-5 languages and been through a 2000 year whirlwind of competing theological and political forces. Shut it down everyone, this guy solved it
