I respect your view tho.
Which is why Christianity no longer exists. "Interpretations". There are so many that now there is no Christianity, There is rather myriad Christianities, about 400 different "versions" or "sects", each at the others' throats, preaching them into hell because they "ain't believin' right".
I'm not going to argue interpretations, either. I'm going to do what I'm going to do, and on Judgement Day, God will let me know if it was the right thing to do or not. I'll take God at his word and assume that he meant what he said, rather than requiring me to "interpret" it.
That's what Samson did. I wonder how it turned out for him? That's what David did. I wonder how it turned out for him? I reckon I'm no better than them in the grand scheme of things.
