I don't care what you think, and there is very good reason not to care about the opinion of someone who professed to be a provoker. If you want people to 'get off your case' you may have to limit yourself to ordinary trolling and cut out boasting about it, I guess.

One verse in Hosea, huh? Hardly convincing.

There are lots of them, even in 'the law' or so-called Pentateuch.

You are on the case of every Christian, so you are not one to talk.

Indeed, it is possible to deduce all kinds of perversions from merely reading various OT prophecies (that's what various fundie cults in the USA actually do, as far as I can hear), I mean, from reading OT as an isolated text, without any reference to the New Testament and to the further Christian tradition. All those prophecies (and the Old Testament in general) get some meaning only if seen in the proper light and within the proper context of the entire body of Christian tradition. With Jesus Christ in the center (alpha and omega).

Jews and Christians do indeed share the same text of the Old Testament, but have two radically different interpretations of it.
