It's not cheating! If the bible is supposed to be the word of god - perfect - then obviously any creative interpretations which a less faithful person might see as "loopholes" were actually intentionally left in there by him. Frankly, thinking you can second guess his lawmaking by deciding that you, a puny mortal, know what GOD HIMSELF meant better than he did when he had it written is arguably heretical!
