Every part of the bible is connected to the other. For a Christian, they all come together/work together. To pick and choose is basically playing with the word of God to us. I'd not like to do that and never will. Either one takes it as it is or they leave it.

You are free to choose your way, as we all are. I think there is something we all agree on in this forum, whether we believe or not in a God, or what faith we decide to follow or trust, that I have seen kindness and goodness on here that actually helps restore some of my faith in the human race. The suffering, the reaching out, regardless of belief, we aint so different in our pain or wish to help eachother.
