Totally. Going to any church and blindly believing what a preacher teaches from the pulpit is just as useful as getting your news off the TV.
The blind leading the blind all the way back to the Catholic church.
Like the idea that God loves everyone, even rabid sinners. Nope. That's not what the bible teaches at all.
Thou shalt not kill? Nope. Go to the Hebrew and it's more like 'thou shalt not murder'.
Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt? Nope. Christ quoted that verse and he quoted it as she was 'taken' which culturally was used as a euphemism meaning to be killed. The 'Rapture' doctrine is a fairly new false doctrine.
I'm not much into the bible but I always saw Lot's wife as a metaphor for not being weighed down by your past lest you become stagnant and unable to grow. She turned around (lived her life by ruminating on the past) and became a pillar of salt (spiritually rigid and stagnant).
No. It's an actual event. The cities that were destroyed are still covered in many feet of sulfuric ash to this day. Nothing grows in those areas, nothing at all.
If you examine the Hebrew closely the meaning I get is that she turned back toward the cities. She didn't believe the warning was valid and she just wanted to go back. She was consumed in the flames or taken as scripture would have it. Christ actually quoted correctly. So Lot and his two daughters escaped and made children who became the Ammonites.
They found radiation and other "Hey, a fucking nuke blew up here" evidence where they believe Sodom and Gomorrah once stood.
God LITERALLY nuked two cities for being sodomite faggots.
I think if he can, we have more than justification to do it to this judaized world. The jewish rats aren't the only ones with a Samson Option.
Saul Goodman. We can agree to disagree. I think the bible is a book of allegories but a lot of people take it at face value which is fine.
Imagine you were born in say Bhutan or Tibet. You'd undoubtedly be a Buddhist. Would you not be saved because of that?
I think God is bigger than the petty tyrant found in the bible. Creating a being knowing full well it would be condemned to eternal torment is ludicrous IMO.
I'm not close to being as compassionate and loving as God (obviously) and I can't stand to see my dog suffer in the slightest.
Imagine having the thought "well the dog did shit in the house last week so fuck her, she can suffer" IDK, that's laughable to me.
Excuse me Sir. What do you think Christ's view on killing someone is? Sure, you can use the old testament to justify doing evil things but Jesus is very clear on this matter.
He said child molesters and those who lead children astray would be better off with a rock tied to their neck and drowned in the ocean.
Congratulations on twisting scripture to suit your own needs. He doesn't suggest killing them, He says they would be BETTER OFF having that happen to them then to face judgement.
From what I can tell, I would guess you know about the Kenites?
Sort of. Mostly that Moses married the Midianite who's father was Jethro. Beyond that, I'm not sure how there can be an actual connection to Cain who so far as I know perished in the deluge.
