  I’m going to stick my neck out and say it was something stupid and ignorant.

  watched the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZPWbpOnZ-8

  Kirk actually has a good point in that those lines are from the old testament, which Christians believe doesn’t apply, and only believe in the new testament. Assuming Kirk is right that it isn’t in the new testament ( the Cambridge speaker doesn’t contest it either, for whatever that is worth). From the the student then pivots to talking about a new testament description along the lines of: Man shall not sleep with man, which he says can be interpreted differently than man and man and could be man and prostitute. Kirk contends that the traditions and interpretations were created during the time that the writings were created, and so there is no loss of translation then, and those understandings have been passed down until down consistently. I will say, i’ve summised this, but it is a lot more of a meandering argument afterwards that is not very interesting to watch.

  I feel like the cambridge student shouldn’t have even brought up the lines in videos above because it doesn’t completely apply to Kirk’s religious beliefs. The student studied the bible decently enough to make his point, but it seemed he needed additional context of Kirk’s beliefs to make a strong point against Kirk.

    There are no mainstream Christian denominations that don’t believe that the Old Testament is the word of their God, so I’m not sure how the student could have prepared for that particular nonsense juke

      Most Christians believe they live under the New Covenant and not Old Testament law.

      You are right that it is widelt accepted as the word of God though.

    So.

    Here’s an idea.

    A cynical take on Christian nationalism pushing for ONLY the things in the bible that are utterly absurd and contrary to modern society.

    Like, making an actual push for ONLY the shit that no one would could possibly take seriously.

    I’m no bible scholar but I’m sure there’s a bunch of stuff in the New Testament that we could cherry pick as well.
