I'm no scholar, but isn't that old testament? So some sects can claim they are new testament believers and that other stuff is some old shit.
Other then that you have the "it's god's plan", or god's the only one that can judge, or god's the only one that can take and give life etc... Some parts justify other parts if you ignore the parts that don't.
Also most folks are taught religion from childhood, they are surrounded in a world where over 80% of everybody believes in some version; and we now know we don't really have full developed brains till our 20s. With those pathways built up over the years before the brain can critically analysis them it's no wonder some folks can't be reasoned with.
