High moralist of course but actually pacifist
Idk maybe he'd be a centrist
he's God, def a Repub lmao
lol jk, no way in hell Jesus would be Repub
Lol he'd probably laugh at the repubs
I'm not sure if Jesus is God studied that quite a bit
Only reason I think he wouldn't be Repub is because pro-gun
although the abortion part is spot-on
Well Jesus says the Govt has the right to sway the sword but warns us about using it
you a Christain btw?
Definitely against it but still allows it
Christian*
I am a Follower of the Way
Yes basically
Catholic?
No
I don't believe in the traditional devil
I also believe Jesus already came back in the 1st century
I see
satan is actually just a term of position to reference an adversary which is always a human being if you read the scripture closely.
common term in hebrew thought actually. Never meant to be a name of a person. Same with devil just means traducer.
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.
I'm not a big religious person myself, you seem to be very religiously-informed. Dedicated I guess
Jesus tells Peter to Get behind me satan
Peter was the adversary
Very simple
Whatever you say
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.
Unfortunately people don't read the Bible from a first century Jewish context so they make up tons of shit
I don't read the Bible at all lol
Well I've spent probably 10,000 hours studying the book and the culture
Christ, that's more than a year of pure study. You must have a lot of spare time
I sometimes will just speak entire books of the Bible by memory. It's crazy
It's my job and my major
Oh so you're still in college
yep
What year

Why go to college instead of seminary?
