So why doesnt the verse say that instead? Pretty unclear for a holy book if you ask me. Either God gives horribly vague instructions that are open for any interpretation or it was meant for literal translation.
If I was omnipotent and wanted to instruct my creation, I think I could do WAY better. Hell, I am not omnipotent and I could still right a book that has less contradictions and less cryptic verses.
So we are left with two possibilities, God intentionally gave unclear instructions or God is not that good at communicating his message. Either way it doesnt look good for him.
Lastly, you seem to be avoiding the two verses I listed about giving away your material possessions. Is there some cryptic interpretation that allows you to ignore them as well?

What, that is your argument? That something in the "The bible" (I put quotes, because although the bible is generally the same among all religions that have it, there has been some interpretations that certain things have been corrupted, or misinterpreted and either changed or omitted) couldn't be possibly misinterpreted or rather spoken in such a different tongue that someone like you just doesn't understand it? So God works in such a way that if someone like you fails to understand the meaning or the metaphorical meaning behind something, then he must not be God because he would make it so that idiots like you would understand? Or you know God so well that some things are literal meaning? I'm trying to understand, either way though, you seem to profess your understanding for knowing this benevolent been so well yet claim he doesn't exist at the same time. Maybe you should listen to those who do believes words or understanding rather then coming up with your own understanding that you seem to obviously not get. I'm not saying what Glenzig even says is the correct meaning, I'm just trying to better understand your ignorance.
