It's amazing to me how people dissect individual verses, as if it defines everything. Why aren't people looking at the overall message? Isn't Jesus' love much more important than attempts at decryption?
I'm not saying this from the outside. My parents were missionaries in India for 20 years and their message was loving, respecting and enabling those around them. Not dissecting bible verses.

Sounds like your parents understood the good news.

Acts 17
They received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
I can love my neighbor and still search for the truth in the scriptures.

Yes, surely. I am just saying that the focus, in my opinion, should be on making the world better for people by acting with love and compassion. That is more important than the scholastic part, in my humble opinion.
Yep, it is what it is....the sign of the times. The tireless attacks on followers of Christ aka the church (as seen in this thread) is another sign. It will only get worse.
A random person (just some guy on the street with no particular religious affiliation) claiming to be the object of "tireless attacks" would be on a 3-day hold for mental evaluation.
