Do you stone a man for 6 sentences that he himself has rejected? Or do you read and hear and understand the body of his
works and judge him based on whether the message is good? Do not reject Ron Paul's life works because of a couple of
sentences out of millions he has authored and spoken.

Do not reject Genesis in its entirety out of discomfort you may have for a few passages.

Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house.
They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing.
Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like
with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
Genesis 19:5-10

That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when
she lay down or when she got up. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s
get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”
So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not
aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. The older
daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son,
and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.
Genesis 19:34-38

Do not reject Leviticus in its entirety because a few sentences condone slavery.

Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy
some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become
your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life…
Leviticus 25:44-46

Do not reject the Old & New Testament in their entirety because a few sentences urge Chauvinism.

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.
If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to
speak in the church.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man;
she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived, it was the woman who was
deceived and became a sinner.
1 Timothy 2:11-14

For I say unto you - he who rejects the Word of Our Lord - The Bible - over discomfort with some of his words shall burn in hell.

Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us — he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks!
Psalm 137:8-9

The LORD commands: “kill without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children”
Ezekiel 9:5-6

Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt.
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
Ezekiel 23:20-23
