I would agree. People can make the Bible say anything they want, if they take it out of context. That is part of the reason why there is so much hypocrisy and hate coming from so-called Christians. When I read the Bible, I consider both the context of the passage in light of the rest of Scripture, as well as the historical context of the writing. A historical document should be read as just that- a historical document.
