@Jessie Jerry
Your Bible - the QJV - was authorised by Queen James I, who was a gay as they come.
That's the only 'Context' you'll ever need. Certainly from our perspective.
Remember: Gay king, thus gay Bible, therefore gay 'God', ergo Gay Jerry.
No 'Context' required.
...but then, someone else was addicted to the word 'Context' too: the Catholic ex-IRA terrorist leader Gerry Adams. You say you're not a Protestant, Ger... er, I mean Jer...!
'My words were taken out of Context is a phrase well used by politicians, y'know, Jer. When they've been caught saying what they shouldn't, and by right-wing ones nine times out of ten, so no 'Context' required when it comes to what the Bible says.
...and further more, if in 'Context' & especially 'Historical Context', then you've admitted that the basis of your 'Biblical Christianity' has absolutely no relevance to the 21st Century whatsoever, therefore anything you say, based on a book of obsolete fairytales is instantly invalidated.
Because who was it who authorised said basis of your '[i]Biblical[/i] Christianity' again, Jer...?! >:D

Jerry here should realise that Charges ignored are charges proved.
Just ask Bryan Fischite, Jer. All that was asked of him was a simple 'Yes' or 'No' answer. Does the notion of answering our questions to our satisfaction leave you argumentally cornered, Jer? Particularly when your evasion tactic of 'Christians don't answer questions' & all that BS only makes things worse for you via how everyone perceives your refusal to do so, thus we can read between the lines, and thus come to the only possible conclusion & thus answer the question for you (as we have, re. Bryan 'Gay Impulses' Fischite)?
After all, just ask Jonathan Edwards (remember: OSAS and all that jazz...!). No faith-annihilating debate with Atheists required. He answered those questions the only possible way himself. I bet he's not the only one, neither. I refer you to the ex fundies who are commenters here in FSTDT. No doubt they asked themselves those same questions too.
So what's your excuse, Jer, when you daren't answer ours, like the intellectually dishonest coward you are...?!
Ignoring questions only makes things worse for you. But then, Reality isn't exactly bending to your will - least of all you converting so much as one FSTDTer to your way of thinking (PROTIP: Matthew 10:14) - so that in itself answers our question: about your 'God'
I refer you to the pic from the Jim Carrey film "Bruce Almighty" in my previous post. What does he need with 'proseltysers' like you indeed...?! [/Capt. James T. Kirk]
