I picked verses from the Bible as supporting examples, yes. What other text would you expect me to cite? The Bhagavad Gita?

If you’re referring to the fact that there are other verses in the Bible that would contradict these, that’s an entirely separate discussion of its own that I’m not interested in having in this thread. Yeah, the Bible is hugely self-contradictory. But it’s supposed to be the “divinely inspired word of God,” so I’d advise you take that issue up with their schizophrenic sky-daddy.
