Which is why I despise 99% of organized christianity
I can provide context
jeasus was a bethesta character. I might still have that meme around.
"Shit, are those nails rusty, I'ma need a tetanus shot when i rise in 3 days" -Jesus
Because you can make the bible say ANYTHING
It is the big book of multiple choice
read between the lines.
the bible contradicts itslef within a single sentence.
Ephesians, as in Epistolary, not his fucking quote.
Move your hand in front of your face and blink
"THEY GOT THEM BOOTLEG FIREWORKS N SHIT! AAAAAAH!" - moses
its funny the people who criticize people that believe the bible as being literal minded fools, are themselves also being literal minded fools
lmao
thou shall do x no more than 1 paragrpah later thou shall not do x
'blow up the 9/11, you wont' - Jesus
The idea that you should take any script as gospel IS the act of faith.
That sentence does not make sense
@Harazu Keshtah literally everything in the OT can be chucked out the window unless you're a J00
"The fig tree bears no fruit"
@n0ne0ther not talking about faith
What else is there
you can make reasonable arguments for these things
and also you dont even necessarily need the reasonable argument
Having "faith" is willful credulity
You can have faith that the bible is accurate.
That's it.
so long as people act in accordance in the spirit of something, it doesnt matter if its literal truth or not
I hope so, not even jews follow the old testament literally anymore.
Read how it was compiled and that idea will fall away
you introduce the term 'accurate' which is not correct
Why does it have to be in accordance with an imaginary being?
The spirit of Charlie Manson?
Also, the Apostles deliberately embellished stories of Jesus' acts to fit them into other culture's ideas of divinity. Jesus turning water into wine made him identifiable with the Greek conception of Dionysus, another god born of man and popularly worshipped.
accurate implies evidentially provably true
"The spirit of something"
Basically all of the NT is fanfiction
you can have faith that the bible has ideas that if you follow, things will turn out alright
doesnt matter if its 'accurate' or not
Or not.
It started as "the oral tradition"
I do pretty much agree with boops interpratation I just use mlp. season 5's opener literaly repudiates communism. idk if they really intended to hit the nail on the head so hard.
