Very intriguing. I love that you brought in one of my favorite authors (Rohr)! I also love that you have picked up on the fact that the Bible isn't a moral handbook. I unraveled that one by looking at all the Latin words that never got translated in our Bibles but instead became their own misguided doctrines (e.g. "righteousness"). Also enlightening on this topic was the whole emphasis by modern Christianity on sexual immorality. A simple comparison of the sexual immorality emphasis is easily broken down by comparing New Testament references (e.g. 1 Cor 6) to the Septuagint in a Concordance. It's not even talking about sexuality, but about unfaithfulness to God using metaphor. Ask me if none of this makes sense, LOL. Looking forward to your posts!
