  • Pulling things out of context let’s you think and justify just about anything. The letter to Timothy is in response to particular people in a particular church at a particular time. Go research it.

    But the main point of the whole text is: the world is full of suffering, people are good and people are bad, but we should work to be better and lessen suffering. -Forgive those who trespass against you. Love even your enemies. Those who are not against us are with us. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
