It is very simple to come to see what are right biblical teachings or false and human doctrinal teachings. One has only to rely on what is really written black and white on the pages of the Bible.
It are the Words of the Bible people should follow and not the many false human and church doctrines.
The bible is littered with contradictions. Even within the New Testament there are opposing views in the various letters and books. And which version of the Bible is the ‘black and white’? The Catholic Bible is different to the Protestant one. So, which teaching will you follow?
One should only take the words from the translated manuscripts and not look at the additional notes which do not take part of the Bible itself. Than, whatever version you are taking they all say the same, as long as you know how a word is translated in the one or another version. That is the incredible thing about the Bible.
You may use any version from whatever which denomination, by reading it like the words are printed in it you shall be able to find the truth and shall see that there are no contradictions in it. It is because people mostly p^refer to follow human doctrines, like the one of the Trinity, that they make it so difficult for themselves and create matters of confusion.
Wherefore should be that in contradiction with a latter part. You have to see every action to be taken in its time period. As such we can find periods lots of people being killed, like by the flood or at Sodom and Gomorrah, but read those stories in context to what happened.
Tom,
What was the name of this book of teaching from Ramada? Would you say that was his very favorite reference to the full Vedanta teaching?

What about the violent acts recommended in Deuteronomy, such as stoning people, etc?

So you have already added to the Bible by stating that ‘you have to see every action in its time period’!
