the creator doesnt need to justify himself to the created

call him by his name that was given to him

thats a solid argument

>70% of my class failed

HA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

@Living The Dream 🍀 because they are the teachers and leaders of the church

The Uncreated Lord of The Omniverse has no need to explain Himself or otherwise "justify" *any* of His actions

>MEANWHILE MY GPA STAYS AT A 4.0

THIS IS TRULY EPIC

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] I don’t have a very literal interpretation or a very strong understanding so I can’t provide the fundie argument, besides I guess “he doesn’t need to”

So you think that an all powerful almighty god, owes you an answer? @Thule-Gesellschaft [☩]

@TradChad Why, Can't you call him by his name

given to him

Genesis 45:8

**Genesis 45:8 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<8> Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt. ```

@Living The Dream 🍀 when did I ever say I cannot call a priest by his name

@Gastjohn yeah

What is this charge you are making

Hell yeha

Smoke Meth

@TradChad# let me read this in kjv

Why

word for word

DRA is more accurate

hahhahahaha

Very little difference in Genesis

You're the one who implied the need for justification @Thule-Gesellschaft [☩]

At least for DRA vs KJV

Which is DRA

a lie

Haha

DRA isn’t a lie

Fun fact, DRA has both Sirach and Ecclesiasticus

DRA is straight from the vulgate

Which is straight from Greek

i bet you like the niv

This is why I use DRA for my BibleBot

It's tricky to get used to though

DRA is incredibly accurate

no sir

OK NEVER MIND AMPED BIBLE OR GO HOME

Kierkegaard is a cool boi

KJV based itself on newer translations

Which are based on other translations

That's what happens when you don't separate church and state

Kings commissioning bibles

kjv is clearly the bible that is word for word

Word for word from what

Lmao

They didn’t translate from the original Greek

for translation

They translated from newer translations

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] that wasn’t necessarily the best answer, it was just the one I happened to think of. Unless I misinterpreted what you said. In any case I’m not a fundie

Hebrew/Aramaic > Greek > Latin > English

If god created everything including morality, he doesn't need to abide by your definition of "fair".

KJV can’t be word for word because it’s basis for translation isn’t word for word

I'm going to compare

both of them

brb

Philippians 2:12

**Philippians 2:12 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust
Shining as Lights in the World

<12> Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; ```

you stay here devil worshiper

Also DRA came out before KJV

InfoWars, AKA **The Beardmen**

Haha you ignore the Bible but call me a devil worshiper

Psalms 55:5

**Psalm 55:5 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<5> Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. ```

Matthew 23:8

**Matthew 23:8 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<8> But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren. ```

lol

You literally copied notes from your friend that said that calling someone your father metaphorically is ok @Living The Dream 🍀

Just as Abraham is our father in Acts 7:2

**Acts 7:2 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<2> Who said: Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan. ```

My priest is my father in the same metaphorical sense

Could just be random. Could be that they were the most pathetic and vile people on earth or something.

Just as job is the father the poor in Job 29:16 my priest is a father to me and my community

**Job 29:16 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<16> I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently. ```

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] Make sure you find the quote where it says that God owes us an explanation for all of his decisions.

there’s a big theme in Christianity and Judaism of like the lowest of the low and the top

😉

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] I feel bad that you have to resort to insults.

2 Kings 2:12

**2 Kings 2:12 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<12> And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces. ```

Btw this wasn’t his father

2 Kings 6:21

**2 Kings 6:21 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<21> And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them? ```

I just made a big cummy on my tummy

Why did the king of Israel call eliseus his father

like how uh Jesus was the king of kings but he was like dressed in rags and would wash feet and stuff. Picking the Jews because they’re the worst doesn’t seem incoherent thematically with that

Romans 9:10

But idk that sort of an aborted thought

**Romans 9:10 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<10> And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father. ```

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] and what I'm saying is that he doesn't owe us an explanation for why he loves them.

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] would that be different as like almost any other ethnic minority though

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] You know, because he created everything.

1 Timothy 2:7

**1 Timothy 2:7 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<7> Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not, ) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth. ```
