I say it is, and I also say that you're ignoring the "context" of the verse in favor of some other part of the narrative in order to make it conform to what you believe. You see, the "context" excuse is a double edged sword.
But since you've invoked it, why does your god have so much trouble saying what it means and meaning what it says? I mean I get it, lonely all the way back into eternity, probably doesn't have much practice communicating it's ideas to others, but ffs, throw us a bone! Every time you open your mouth to make an excuse for your god you end up inadvertently making your god look like an even bigger dumbass than he did the moment before.
Perhaps, and I'm just throwing this out there, you should let him go ahead and handle his own excuses? He might be better at it. He doesn't have to get to it today, I can wait. He knows the day of my death so he's got a handle on my availability.
