true, context should always in by kept in mind when reading in depth into a text.Ummm, you know there's such a thing as context.
Times do change and it is important to keep in mind that while we might deplore something today,
it might have been acceptable when the text was written.
for example the use of the word 'nigger' in mark twains huckelberry fin might have been acceptable at the time, but would be frowned upon today.
I accept this, times change and so does society, which is why no text (book, movie etc) is perfect
and wont always be relevant to everybody everywhere all the time which brings me back to my earlier statement
yet joeys ratzinger and georgy pell and about a billion other christians hold this book up as the definative book on how to live your life and its complete bullshit.
