  And yet it’s pretty much all they use it for.

  But why tho? Isn’t reading Bible and understanding what it says big part of it?

    B/c the whole point of Jesus was pointing out how those old laws are worthless.

      Are trying to say Timothy 2:12 is old testament?

      The new testament is full of heinous shit too though. Jesus (who, don’t forget, is still the same vengeful, angry old testament God) condones rape, violence, and killing all throughout it, but says “love thy neighbor” once and everyone thinks he’s gentle as a lamb.

      Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

      Christianity continued this tradition by obviating all those old laws l

      This is New Testament!

    Not really. The message is love and forgiveness and inclusion. Egality.

      This seems to be a ‘no true Scotsman’ argument.

        It’s not. You must understand the virtues displayed. And apply them. The wording is not special. We aren’t even reading the original text and cannot speak the old languages with their context of the time of writing without undue effort.

        Matthew 10 is one of my favourites

        34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

        35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

        36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

        37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

        You love your family? Straight to hell with you! Jesus is jealous

      You’re talking about the gospels maybe, not the bible.

  Sounds like you are gatekeeping Christianity.

  source

  • Gladaed@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Some things must be gate kept to be preserved. One cannot allow hatred when acceptance is the goal.

    source

    • zalgotext@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The only way you can come to the conclusion that “acceptance is the goal” of the Bible is by cherry picking from it.
