It would if your definition of ‘rudeness’ is the act of pointing out your failure to make your point coherently and rationally.True. but that would not be bad news for me.
Posters who disagree with you are (according to you) either rude, or attacking you.
Of course you did. Just look at what you wrote. If you still don’t understand, I’ll tell you.what assumption? I made none. Think about it.
Slavery? Oh my! You really know nothing about the importance of context, do you?I have never seen him advocate for slavery. I have never seen him support the false doctrine of substitutionary atonement
An understanding of context is a vital part of hermeneutics. It is generally obvious that words and events are related to their immediate context.
What is not always fully appreciated is the need to consider the whole background to the immediate context. A man bathing in the river Musi does not mean the same thing as if he were taking a bath in an English river: in one context he would be perfectly normal, in the other an eccentric or exhibitionist.
The English student’s style of recreation would probably seem even more eccentric to an Asian villager, for whom spare time is for resting, not wasting precious energy. If the fellow wants to go to Granchester, couldn’t he take a bus?
So the meaning of an event or word is affected by its place within the context of a whole culture and way of life. In terms of biblical hermeneutics, this means that a text needs to be understood not only in its immediate context, but also in its wider context, which is the whole Bible.

Forgot to add--- When you say that a doctrine is false you are making a positive claim. Can you support this claim?
All through Scripture. General context. You appear to be a fundamentalist literalistic atheist SZ.Really? What verse.
I LOL at "What verse?"
You keep asking me this question and I keep saying no. Someone else perhaps?Didn't you keep trying to justify the Noah's Ark myth and eventually ran away when you failed? Or was that someone else. At any rate you could have answered those questions again.
It’s obvious. ‘Appears to be the case’ says nothing about what IS the case.Please, if you had a point you should have made it. Try again.
Not only did I ‘not try’ to play the Tu Quoque game; I did notLOL! Oh my. You should not try to play the Tu Quoque game. That fallacy is not very impressive
