Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??

Dan McClellan is a textbook example of this. He is known to block people whom responds to his videos. which is bad faith.

I know he blocks people if he decides they are not engaging productively. Like in the video you linked InspiringPhilosphy says that: when Jesus knew the doubters wondered “who can forgive sins but God”… InspiringPhilosphy insists that they were talking about God the father, but trinitarian belief didn’t exist at the time of the composition of the gospel of Mark right? I suspect Dan lost patience with the retrojection of Trinitarianism.

The Bible hasn’t been heavily edited. There isn’t much proof for this, notably, no original “unedited” documents.

These are the first three edits that come to mind: Pericope of the women caught in adultery is absent from all early manuscripts if the gospel of John. Johannine comma being absent from all Greek manuscripts (except for the forgery from like 1000 years later), short ending of Mark. Also the pseudepigraphal letters of Paul, are editing in a sense.

Yahweh was worshipped in a pantheon though, and the Bible records this. But it’s the writings of a monotheistic sect.

What is monotheism? Is it compatible with belief in the power of rival gods like in 2 Kings 3:27?
