I attended private Catholic school until I was 19 years old and some of my instructors were priests. I know the bible and below you will find the justification as stated by Jesus.
You, like every other apologist, are redacting the bible in your mind and expecting that to "prove" your version is the correct version. As I told you already, this mental redaction you engage in does not mean that we can all safely ignore the murderous parts and murderous past of Christianity.
LOL, of course you are a Bible scholar--you went to Catholic school--until you were 19! I don't feel like debating someone of your stature so I am going to give you a link that explains my position good enough. http://www.ukapologetics.net/Jesusandthelaw.html
We wouldn't care if you were a Koran scholar, or a Torah/Talmud scholar, Buddha scholar, Hindu Baghavad Gita/Veda scholar, and don't act like the KJV is the only version of the bible in any case.
You, "I am a Star Trek Fan"
Us, "Yea yea yea, and others are Star Wars Fans, and others are Harry Potter Fans".
Exactly what are you an "expert" in?
I am sure there are plenty of Harry Potter fans who can recite every line of every book and can tell you the plot of every book, but would that prove Harry Potter to be a real being?
Being an apologist doesn't mean a thing. There are tons of humans who make apologies for other religions whom think you got it wrong and they got it right.
