"If you believe what you like in the gospels,and reject what you don't like,it is not the gospel you believe,but yourself."
(a quote by St.Augustine).
It has become increasingly common in recent decades for faiths,Bible scholars and individuals to give a new "interpretation" of scripture to make it compatible with their personal beliefs and the changing mores of society.I find it interesting that this has become more prevalent as our society has advanced technologically and our culture has lost any sense of decorum and restraint.
Throughout the Bible we read that altering the intended meaning of scripture is not only wrong, but is a grave offense to God.
