Biblical Scholar on board: good thing or bad thing?

[Angrboda]

I wish you luck. Most of them think "context" means " what I want it to mean."

For myself, you sound like a potential ally.

Most of them think "context" means "makes god look good".

If you think "And I heard God say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill. Spare no one; have mercy on no one. Kill the old men, young men, young women, mothers, and children." means that God is commanding people to commit evil atrocities, you will get one of two responses by our resident theists:

1: You are reading it out of context.
2: Genocide is not evil if God commands it.

I wanted to insert a picture of Shub-Niggurath eating you here, but I just couldn't get up to doing the shop, so you get this lame text description instead.
