And of course, pointing out there is currently no such commandment isn't going to deter a single one of them from doing it.
Don't be ungenerous, vorlon. They cherry pick because of -- what's that learned word? -- exejesus . . . exegenesis . . . exegesis . . . something like that. Remember, it's not intellectually dishonest if there's some sort of Greek-based word for it. They're scholars! Just ask them.
The word you're looking for is 'arrogance'.
If God's Holy, Inerrant and Literal truth can be treated like a buffet, then the ones picking and choosing clearly know better than God as to what is and isn't important.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
