Also, anyone tries to bring up the verses about the peace and bringing a sword. Jesus, like most "philosophers" spoke in parables that are usually meaning something beyond its literal semantic meaning. This is rather obvious as it is common in other religions too.
I am not advocating the belief, I just rather have informed discussions.
So, the parts you find nice are to be taken as literal and the ones you don't are considered parables that go beyond literal meaning?
The belief you are advocating here is that NT is against child slaughter - and I'm still not seeing it.
