I have a hard time not thinking that Moses was Confessing with that Verse. That "potential" situation sounds more like German Porn than something that would occur in Real Life.
My favorite verse-- (some NT Book:chapter:Verse) "Jesus said"
Mainly because, even if it is inaccurate or an outright Lie, it is innocuous enough not to get worried about.
jesus never actually lied about anything, or made stark, sweeping accusation about any class of person. that's what he was suckered into after his....death, or whatever happened.
if you take out his words only, tossing out the remainder of the NT--even what's printed in fundy bibles (KJV)--they're always the same, and they can always be summarized thusly:
"Be cool, my brothas and sistahs! relax, stop all this hati'n and feuding, just chill out. don't listen to all that greedy-ass establishment; they're charging for your salvation!"
yada yada. I guess you can say he certainly
did get a littlepreachy over the long haul (proclaiming he was son of god, on top of Chiaphus, and hell....even
God at one point, but you know...we all slip up!), but overall he had a pretty chill message of "be cool! everyone is all-right!"
I guess that sure as shit pissed off the warlords; not to mention Roman authority.
