I doubt it was ever meant as political advice
Mmm... I'd argue with you on that.
Like Islam was, for instance
The story of Jesus Christ was wrought with politics.
Commandments are just laws that come from a different place
The politics of the time.
@Schedrevka Are they laws, or morals?
The adoption of Catholicism was a political move.
They're literally what you're commanded to do. Hence the name.
The King James Bible came about from a political schism.
And then there's stuff like leviticus which is not only the rules but also the punishments, but there's some argument for that not being 'Christian'. Jesus was kind of inconsistent about whether he was there to replace the old laws or not
If you look at the Bible purely as a record of the life of Jesus, you're missing a lot of the background.
Or maybe the Bible is just inconsistent about what he said
Or, maybe, it was the root Church that interpreted it incorrectly.
i imagine the bible has been reinterpreted and rewritten enough that there isn't an intact original sentence in the whole thing
Catholicism got a bad read from the start.
Then there's the whole issue with the church deciding at different times what is and isn't canon.
I work on occasion with a Biblical Scholar.
Specifically, this person is a 'Messianic Jew'
That is to say, he follows Jewish tradition as Jesus himself did.
Ever wonder why this language lacks that dimension? The legend of symbols?
Y'know, the part of the map that tells you what each drawing means.
You mean Greek letters?
Naw those were basic af at first, all their meaning grew from numerical order implication
Excuse me, Latin alphabet.
That one incorporated some kind of coding, some precursor of cockney rhyming slang.
but still, numbers mainly.
That's what I'm saying, the Western one's flat out blank
This was not a bolt from an Ikea end table
Easy
it was not misplaced and shrugged about
Mormons weren’t right
Ancient Jews didn’t sail to America
My cat's breath smells like cat food?
