too much doublemeaning, uncertainty, ambiguousness and therefore I can't understand God's holiness...His law...the arc of the covenant is lost...so what do we know about Moses ets...I think we know plenty...even Paul says in Romans, that people without the law have their consciousness...now if that is clouded/hardened...too bad.
Stealing...murdering...is in all kinds of various ethnical groups, cultures"frowned" upon...forbidden, punishable...God put Himself aside a nation, where He made things double explicitit...a nation, as a channel...through Mary...to help the Messiah...anointed...saviour to come to earth....so they had it double/triple clear...through Moses and other prophets...
If you "work" on some of the seeming contradictions in the Bible...some vanish pretty easily by crosschecking...Just get any nice book about some seeming contradictions by applying Math wrong...it happens in other fields as well.
Sorry, but I don't buy that.
