im also trying to understand a lot of these commandments bro.

Yeah, thank you

"7 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval. 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!"

Just that first bit seems really difficult to unpack. maybe you help me compartmentalize some of this?

maybe even understand it?

The quote was for historical purposes. I didn’t say anything to insinuate otherwise. People have read and quoted pastors from the Revolution for decades. What makes it so wrong to do so now?

It's irrelevant

you're saying you have to submit to slavery

Someone I know thinks that Adam and Eve can't be real because they inbred and that we would all be retarded if are species came from inbreeding. I asked him where he thinks people came from and he says a bunch of primates living in Africa that were survivors of a space nuke that wiped out that dinosaurs. I'vebeen heavily implying it, but I'm really tempted to just straight up say "do you really think that a bunch of primates happen to evolve all separately from one another and be compatible to the point where the human race could be created without any incest?"

I'm not saying that quoting the bible is bad

but when you use it in that term

Are you talking to me?

When there is only one family is in existence, that is the only way

Yes

^

You realize that quote wasn’t a Bible verse, right?

You said people have been quoting Revelation

I just associated the two

But I didn

t think so

I didn’t. Read my message again.

I know

I misread your message

But even still, it is irrelevant

What is irrelevant...?

tbf, we are kinda retarded. <:KEK:795742276549607456>

You said we have to submit to slavery and have your freedoms taken away

Nvm

No... I didn’t.

“We have no choice left to us but to submit to absolute slavery and despotism"

Again... that quote is for historical purposes, from a pastor during the Revolution. I just like history. I’m not some nut who wants Revolution.

Okay, I suppose that makes sense

Yes... that said from a guy during the British enslavement of the colonies.

Yeah

That's what I said <:KEK:795742276549607456> I literally wrote back "*speak for yourself*"

That wasn't good conduct, brother

But that may be true

These verses are talking about how people in these verses are not treating the Lord Supper with respect. They were treating Supper like a feast. Hence why Paul talks about in verse 29. Anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. So treat the Lord Supper with respect and humility. Examine yourself before you partake in Supper.

The corinthians church had alot of issues

I did not say I dont want to be convinced period, In context it was you wont convince me that with just words or scripture without modern proof.

Anyone can just say "Oh yeah, this will turn out fine. God is good and will do good." But if you said that in one of the german 'work' camps you would be lying to everyone who died.

I poisonous hope is not better than depressing truth.
