Unaffiliated is probably the closest

2018-01-22 23:38:17 UTC  

Or "literalist" something like that

2018-01-22 23:38:35 UTC  

Some guy who read the book and believed

2018-01-22 23:38:39 UTC  

I believe that black people are animals and jews are stans children

2018-01-22 23:38:59 UTC  

Adam was made from dirt

2018-01-22 23:39:06 UTC  

Eve was made from adams rib

2018-01-22 23:39:08 UTC  

Etc

2018-01-22 23:39:19 UTC  

I believe these to be real events, not metaphors

2018-01-22 23:39:55 UTC  

So you believe genesis when it said God walked around in the garden, sewed their coats of skins, yelled over the wall to communicate with Adam, etc

2018-01-22 23:40:08 UTC  

I.e. that God has a physical existence

2018-01-22 23:41:52 UTC  

Yeah I think God can be physical if he wants to

2018-01-22 23:42:05 UTC  

I mean he's God

2018-01-22 23:42:18 UTC  

He can probably do literally anything

2018-01-22 23:43:03 UTC  

I don't completely subscribe to any one translation, I like to review it in several,translations

2018-01-22 23:43:34 UTC  

Details change, but God having a physical interaction with the world is consistent

2018-01-22 23:45:20 UTC  

Normal Christians for some reason believe Jesus lost his resurrected body when he went to heaven

2018-01-22 23:45:46 UTC  

not taking the bait

2018-01-22 23:45:52 UTC  

And believe that the father is the son even though visions of heaven show the father with the son at his right hand

2018-01-22 23:46:10 UTC  

They have all kinds of goofy catholic ideas

2018-01-22 23:46:18 UTC  

Americans aren't intelligent enough to understand the trinity thing

2018-01-22 23:46:27 UTC  

The trinity is fake

2018-01-22 23:46:29 UTC  

HOW CAN HE IS THREE BUT ONE.?

2018-01-22 23:46:35 UTC  

Catholics made it up

2018-01-22 23:46:43 UTC  

how is the burden of proof not on christians for this

2018-01-22 23:47:11 UTC  

I think there is the Father (God), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit

2018-01-22 23:47:32 UTC  

Those are in the book yes

2018-01-22 23:47:35 UTC  

I don't really have an opinion on them being the same "trinity"

2018-01-22 23:47:55 UTC  

But I understand the concept, which most people don't

2018-01-22 23:47:57 UTC  

can u explain how the trinity works? i wasn't really raised super christian

2018-01-22 23:48:02 UTC  

not sarcasm

2018-01-22 23:48:15 UTC  

Jesus prayed to the father, the father spoke from heaven saying to accept him, the holy ghost fell on him, they are separate

2018-01-22 23:48:28 UTC  

Anything saying they overlap is made up by Catholics

2018-01-22 23:48:40 UTC  

Allegedly, God Jesus and the spirit are all God, but also separate bodies at the same time

2018-01-22 23:48:50 UTC  

They say you will go to hell unless you intentionally misread the book

2018-01-22 23:49:01 UTC  

interesting

2018-01-22 23:49:10 UTC  

Plot twist: they are all gods

2018-01-22 23:49:20 UTC  

what's the significance of the trinity?

2018-01-22 23:49:26 UTC  

There isn't really a strong reason to read the Trinity into the text unless you're trying to justify adding the Pope

2018-01-22 23:49:30 UTC  

And mother mary

2018-01-22 23:50:00 UTC  

what do you mean

2018-01-22 23:50:04 UTC  

read it into the text
