Ask Him to remove any bias or preconceptions and read as though this is the first time you have read or heard of this subject. Then, read the context of each of these (read part 1 and part 2 before making any conclusions). Read the chapter before and after. Ask yourself, who is the author speaking to? What is his intent? Is he speaking about a certain group of people? Is he speaking literally or hypothetically? After doing all that, pray again. Then, make a conclusion. Please write a comment.
