You, as a magic book worshipper...fully realize this and insist -every time- that so and so whom you disagree with is doing magic book wrong. This is exactly what the other magic book worshippers say. Ironically, it's yet another demonstration of that ability of man, up above.
A book is its language and vocabulary that is translated into meanings. A false vocabulary will produce false meanings.
The backfire is verses like the ones mentioned in the OP from the Christian Bible.
In other words; I would expect an awkward silence and a huge increase in the cases of bullying, pedophilia & women abuse if I used the current bible's vocabulary to bring my kids up.
Where is that in the Quran? where are the direct explicit vocabulary that tells Muslims, to butcher whole towns and keep "their little ones for themselves"?
