We obviously disagree, but this a forum for discussion. Isn't that what we're here for? I'm going to respond shortly to the second part of your post.
When you say 'misinterpretations', what do you actually mean? Since we have know way of knowing what the real meaning is, you can only dispute another's interpretation based on your own interpretation.
Your interpretation has no greater claim to correctness than mine.
I'd have to go with the interpretation after careful study down through the centuries. But you're right, except that we believe, and this is what scripture says, that we have the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting it. I and I also acknowledge that you will reject that notion.

In ur bible it says god doesnt change.. how could u say that he was rougher in the old testament before jesus? U ever hear of preordained?? Jesus was one the waitng list, waiting for his calling..
If we act differently on one occassion than another, it doesn't change who or what we are, it's just responding differently to different times and situations.
