Well, I'm glad your bible has a dictionary and all, but according to 2 years of theology class, and the work of hundreds of scholars, that is exactly what was going on. I am not 'miseinterpreting' anything.

There is a reason the Bible was long ago seperated into two sections: The Old testement and the New.
You know I really hate to drag one of the pastors from church into this because I know what I'm talking about, and so does my one friend that saw that post of your last night and said the same thing I did. And as for the 2 parts of the Bible, the Old Testiment is before Jesus's time. It tells how everything was created, and fortells Jesus's coming, among other things. The New Testiment is of Him and His life, death and resurection.
