7) That's not specific examples, that's just noting it's there.

8) What's the evidence that anyone has such a thing in the real world? Most Christians couldn't tell you the difference between Trinitarianism and Arianism and I guarantee you most ones here haven't read the BIble enough to know what Onanism, the Sin of Lot, and the phrase Ananias and Saphira means. This stuff might fly in a Christianity community, but this one isn't one. The burden of proof is on you, not me.

And yes, you would be as this is every Christian nowadays. The Church says gays are icky but ignores greed and anger and other more pressing, individual sins. The Bible says interest is evil, slavery is good, and the concept of kings is bad, while never once mentioning anything like democracy. Nobody cares about this, so yes, people pick and choose all the time in the real world, and this is excluding that outside evangelicalism nobody uses the Bible alone in Exegesis in the first place.
