I.......I...don't think many people here are under the illusion that you've based your marriage on the Bible........

Holy crap you really need to spend some time listening to apologetics. These "contradictions" are laughable at best. Listen to the guy J. Warner Wallace, who used to be a cold case detective in Los Angeles and former atheist. The gospels, as an example, are eyewitness accounts, and it's very normal in eyewitness testimony for there to be slight inconsistencies between accounts, to the point where if there were NOT inconsistencies then you know something squirrelly is going on....like one person is simply telling the other what to say rather than telling their own recollection. If you had several eyewitnesses saying the EXACT same thing in a complex scenario, then detectives know there's a problem. But all the slight variations in accounts of the gospels don't vary at all when it comes to the backbone of what happened, and that IS what is to be expected with multiple eyewitnesses who saw the same thing.

Seriously, for your own sake, listen to apologetics.

Jehovah do to me and more as well if anything parts me from you.”. This was a VOW BETWEEN TWO WOMEN. let that sink in.
Holy crap again, SL. Yes, Ruth and Naomi, it's a well known passage in Scripture. Ruth, by the way, was Naomi's daughter-in-law for 10 years. Naomi had a husband and two sons. Ruth married one of her two sons, Orpha married the other. Then both Naomi's husband AND two sons died, leaving her totally alone with just her two daughters-in-law during a famine.

Please, pleeeeease don't tell me you were trying to insinuate some kind of homoerotic (or homoromantic, or whatever else insane thing is next) between a mother and her compassionate daughter-in-law who had been part of the family for 10 years and who saw that her MIL was alone and depressed during the time of a severe famine? If that's the manner into which you read things, I honestly worry for you.
