Do you know what Slag is?
lol
it's what the British call the sluts lol
what do u look forward to in life?
nothing frankly
i dont mean that as a dig btw
didn't take it as one
im curious bc u seem knowledgeable of scripture
yea i understand
and thank you that's actually a good compliment
i'veo nyl read the entirety of the Bible from cover-to-cover 3 times, I'm actualyl very slowly in the midst of my 4th cover-to-cover read, currently in the middle of Numbers, so it'll probably be a while until i finish it again
to be real blunt about it without trying too emo about it either, i don't really like this life or this earth, it probably would have been better if i had been an abortion
i think job had that thought when he was being taunted by his neighbors
off the top of my head Jeremiah put it pretty well
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
yea
Jeremiah 20:14-18
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
he lived in an evil time too
How come we need to have knowledge of the bible?
Can’t we just acknowledge that it is right?
you don't need to have knowledge of the Bible technically, but iti s helpful
I don’t know if I’ve actually formulated what a bible verse has actually had meant using different words
I’ve only ever said that a bible verse spoke to me due to it being simaler to something that happened to me in life
oh i see what you mean
But I have thoughts that we should only acknowledge it for what the context is
how do you mean?
When I read the words it should only pertain to the theme of the book
I shouldn’t take a scripture and explain it in different words
If someone doesn’t understand it then suffa
Next time I study the bible I’m not explaining what it means
I’ll outright tell them
oh lol well kinda, i mean you can say the same thing in different words obviously, like obviously there's a difference in middle english comapred to modern english though the words still mean the same thing
ie: saying you instead of thee
Not that
When someone reads a verse and says what it means in their own words explaining the sentence so someone understands it, making it easier for the other person
I find that people don’t even ask what the verse means and the person is explaining it to them
yea i see what you mean, i think it's okay to talk about the verses, but yea i think it's true a lot of people, especialyl churches of stone i notice, they'll explain away a verse or passage to the point that it doesn't even mean what it says anymore
