Not necessarily. From a fundementalist perspective, where the bible is taken and interpreted literally almost across the board, then yes that makes no sense. But from a perspective which recognizes that the bible is very metaphorical and interprets it according to the historical context in which it was written, seeking for the greater underlying messages meant to be conveyed, it's perfectly reasonable.
I believe what you are referring to is Contextualism those who interpret the bible not follow it as a historical context.
