The easiest way out is to claim a misquote.......sadly the statement stands out in clarity....to say it has been taken out of context is another apologists way out. The truth according to me, and logical sense,is that Man.....read man and not woman...has justified his actions through this writing in the scripture....this then means that it has been added by man and is not the word of a fair God....God had been eternally fair. An example such as this one clearly goes against the grounds of fair-play.
I have tried explaining in so many words before that the bible is not an authority on the Word of God. The bible does not do justice to Jesus too. I invite you, especially TM , to accept the past and look at the future.....do not forget the past, but do not let that be the basis of future plans. We must, as humanity accept that WE ARE ONE and that OURS IS NOT A BETTER WAY, OURS IS MERELY ANOTHER WAY.
can't we ALL simply accept that???
