Very true, and I did read the article. Just initially I tuned it out, filtered it as unacceptable because it said,"Bible" it must be from the wrong point of view.
The difference between me and another person, is that I'll at least go back to try to understand that point of view. I may still not subscribe to it, but I will try to read and observe with as open a mind as possible. Without that open mind I would have never moved forward in reading new authors, hearing new styles of music, etc. etc. etc.
The views of the pastor is exactly on point. The bible can be used to support or undermine just about any position since it covers plenty of time and ground.
