The entire Bible is literally true and was written by the finger of God. Apparent contradictions are allegories, or parables, or signs of the transcendent ineffability of God, and swallowing both parts of them whole are a measure of how holy you are. Wholly holy whole.
Its most important teaching is that we must smite anyone who’s a little different from us, even more vigorously than we smite those that are wholly unlike us. It’s all the fault of those LEFT-foot-washin’ people. Once they’re wiped out, God will reward us with harps and haloes and stuff that He somehow, inexplicably, forgot to write in His book, but which we’re fixing for Him.
It’s easier since the 50s, when American churches decided that only the GOP could fight the Commies, and in order to kiss up to the GOP, they deprecated all that Socialist stuff about feeding the poor and rewrote it into a Prosperity Gospel that sounds good in a megachurch.
