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. ```

to what extent is historical Jew hatred special to Jews and not just general built in tribal behavior/xenophobia

@BANKS Vril is an actual RL brainlet don't mind him

1 Corinthians 12:28

**1 Corinthians 12:28 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<28> And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches. ```

@BANKS god doesn’t need to explain inconsistencies but it’s not unreasonable to say that an inconsistency is a reasonable addition to doubt of his existence

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] potentially, yes. If you were a brownish foreigner in like russia or something

I would make that assumption

I don’t think you have a particularly strong historical case using this evidence tho lol

@Gastjohn I do think that is reasonable.

It’s quite weak. People are inherently xenophobic. Jews are different

okay but that might make sense with any insular ethnic minority, even if they were a net positive. Which I’m not saying Jews are

Voltaire.
