    Paul probably didn’t write that paragraph of verses. It was most likely added by someone else along the way.

    To your point of people wanting to take only portions of the Bible literally and ignore others, there are TONS of things that the old testament says to do that we don’t do every day.

      Christians on old testament laws:

      • prohibition on eating pork: god actually didn’t mean we should stop eating pork. It was an accident bro.

      • prohibition on vaguely sexual acts without clear translation: this is the word of god, how dare these people exist

      Nah, I can see Paul saying that, I just cannot see Jesus (who was openly kissing women like men kissed men and basically publicly recognising them as equals! The horror, lol) saying that. 🤷
