Helen I have found that many people don't really care just what the bible is really saying, as long as they can make it say what they want it too. They never study to find real answers, never dig for the information, never look to see what the bible is saying over all, and why that was written,a nd just what was it supose to say to the people, they probably understood it better then we do today as it was their culture it was written in. So we have to look at all this to correctly understand scripture and not take it out of context, some are not willing to do.
