Thank you as always for responding and I implore you not to see any of my posts as aggressive. I enjoy your engagement.

I agree with you that the interpretation stage is difficult and of course it does drive much discussion but I am not sure its possible to hand wave away the absolute nature of biblical truth on the basis that it might be misinterpreted.

For example if the Bible is absolute and absolutely true (eg via Mackie hermeneutics) then anyone who shares that can agree that God loves us because the Bible is clear on that point. Disagreement then centers around the nuance of what that means and how it should impact our lives.

If however you go with Enns then its possible that God doesn't love us, it was written in error, or an artefact of its time. This is hugely significant, it is the difference between arguing about what the house looks like and/or whether it even exists or has foundations.
