[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you read the Bible and not apply the context in which it also was written. It condones a lot of violence and human right violations.[/quote]

Show me the violence and human rights violations in the gospels, thanks! And not that thing about "bringing a sword" that somebody here has to explain, about once a month,  is obviously a metaphor. Anything else, thanks!

I will agree with you that context is important in one particular case: when you read Paul's letters about sodomy and how women should cover their heads during prayer, it helps to know who Paul was and that he was interpreting for his time some issues that Jesus isn't recorded as having talked about.[/quote]

an interesting NPR article

Is The Bible More Violent Than The Quran?

I take it you're done answering questions about the Quran, so you're trying to change the subject here?

The NPR piece was thoughtful, and interesting. Of note, though, is that the example from 1 Samuel is most definitely Old Testament, and the article gave no examples from the New Testament. Also the distinction between destroying the enemy at one point in time, versus an ongoing struggle. The discussion of Islam seemed balanced, with two views offered.[/quote]

I posted the NPR article.

I am not part of this fight.  I just found the article and posted it b/c I thought it was interesting - and somewhat balanced.[/quote]
