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

Faith is the problem

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.

Climate Activist: Animals die, and make CO2.

Me: Where does oil come from.

and it is true that the people that follow the general ideas of christianity dont go far wrong in living their lives

just have to look at christian countries vs others to see that

What gives you the faith that the bible will do what you claim?

because you can reason it

All of it?

if i kill someone, i feel bad, and theyll liekly want to kill me

so dont kill people, things go better
