Yeah Jesus is actually not really in any boxes

2018-07-01 04:43:07 UTC  

High moralist of course but actually pacifist

2018-07-01 04:43:35 UTC  

Idk maybe he'd be a centrist

2018-07-01 04:43:57 UTC  

he's God, def a Repub lmao

2018-07-01 04:44:10 UTC  

lol jk, no way in hell Jesus would be Repub

2018-07-01 04:44:15 UTC  

Lol he'd probably laugh at the repubs

2018-07-01 04:44:39 UTC  

I'm not sure if Jesus is God studied that quite a bit

2018-07-01 04:44:51 UTC  

Only reason I think he wouldn't be Repub is because pro-gun

2018-07-01 04:45:01 UTC  

although the abortion part is spot-on

2018-07-01 04:45:21 UTC  

Well Jesus says the Govt has the right to sway the sword but warns us about using it

2018-07-01 04:45:31 UTC  

you a Christain btw?

2018-07-01 04:45:35 UTC  

Definitely against it but still allows it

2018-07-01 04:45:40 UTC  

Christian*

2018-07-01 04:45:47 UTC  

I am a Follower of the Way

2018-07-01 04:46:04 UTC  

Yes basically

2018-07-01 04:46:13 UTC  

Catholic?

2018-07-01 04:46:20 UTC  

No

2018-07-01 04:46:37 UTC  

I don't believe in the traditional devil

2018-07-01 04:47:01 UTC  

I also believe Jesus already came back in the 1st century

2018-07-01 04:47:37 UTC  

I see

2018-07-01 04:48:20 UTC  

satan is actually just a term of position to reference an adversary which is always a human being if you read the scripture closely.

2018-07-01 04:48:39 UTC  

satan isn't capitalized either in the greek

2018-07-01 04:49:21 UTC  

common term in hebrew thought actually. Never meant to be a name of a person. Same with devil just means traducer.

2018-07-01 04:50:19 UTC  

Heaven and Earth is a reference to the Temple and old covenant Israel. The world did come to an end according the revelation which would be the old covenant world.

2018-07-01 04:51:02 UTC  

I'm not a big religious person myself, you seem to be very religiously-informed. Dedicated I guess

2018-07-01 04:51:20 UTC  

Jesus tells Peter to Get behind me satan

2018-07-01 04:51:26 UTC  

Peter was the adversary

2018-07-01 04:51:31 UTC  

Very simple

2018-07-01 04:51:55 UTC  

Whatever you say

2018-07-01 04:53:11 UTC  

also jesus being tempted by satan in the wilderness is clearly about the pharisees tempting him with the messianic test of messiahship by asking him to turn stones into bread. The chapter before you see the common theme of the pharisees following jesus everyone he went.

2018-07-01 04:54:04 UTC  

Unfortunately people don't read the Bible from a first century Jewish context so they make up tons of shit

2018-07-01 04:54:31 UTC  

I don't read the Bible at all lol

2018-07-01 04:55:03 UTC  

Well I've spent probably 10,000 hours studying the book and the culture

2018-07-01 04:55:49 UTC  

Christ, that's more than a year of pure study. You must have a lot of spare time

2018-07-01 04:55:58 UTC  

I sometimes will just speak entire books of the Bible by memory. It's crazy

2018-07-01 04:56:08 UTC  

It's my job and my major

2018-07-01 04:56:34 UTC  

Oh so you're still in college

2018-07-01 04:56:39 UTC  

yep

2018-07-01 04:56:43 UTC  

What year

2018-07-01 04:56:49 UTC  

working on my masters

2018-07-01 04:56:51 UTC  

Why go to college instead of seminary?
