Well, my point was more that in order to fully understand any part, you need to be able to understand it within the entire context.

Of course we can glean virtues and such, but the Bible’s entire meaning is as a whole. Individual virtues are seen with an entirely different perspective when you understand how the virtue fits into the whole message.

Ok, I see, yes I think I agree then. Context is essential to understand some of the things that seem contradictory.
