The beauty of scriptures is how God uses analogies sometimes. Different people get something different out of the scriptures. Where one person could relate, another might relate differently. As long as you get the serious substance, things like you need God and Jesus' salvation, you must accept Jesus as your saviour and do not reject him. God wants us to be good, even though we are flawed human beings, right?
I am never sure of anything I say, but it is the basis of what I believe.
