Hi Taxicab,
Yeah, there's so much to choose from in the Bible when one wants to slant theology in their own special direction. The Red Thread is a great example.
I do want to add that my comments about the Bible are not meant to be disrespectful of it. There's no doubt it has truths in it that are helpful and shed light on the human condition. The problem is as I see it, people use it to make money off of other people's ignorance of it, use it to control people, and misrepresent what's in the text in ways that are disrespectful and recklessly misrepresentative (is that a word?) of the writers of each document, their times, their intentions, their culture, etc.
Cheers and see you 'round the cafe!
