I just dont have the ability to skip around and ignore....cherrypick....certain parts.
I started from the beginning and was just bombarded with sick teachings. Before any lesson are taught, it talks about how important gold is, how stupid women are, how much god likes the aroma of burning flesh.
By the time I got to Babel, i knew it was BS. Can you explain the story of babel other than god being a dick on purpose?
For all intents and purposes, the way the Lord has revealed it to me, it is a story that shows God's grace and mercy upon a disobedient and wicked civilization. God could've just destroyed them for their sins and left it at that, but He loved them and decided to show grace and mercy that they might turn to Him and repent of their wicked ways. It is a grievous sin to try and make yourself a God, just as satan tried. Thankfully, God didn't condemn them to hell right then and there. Just as Jesus Christ is full of grace and mercy towards us and willing to forgive us of all our sinful ways; if only we believe in Him and repent.
John 3:16-17 "For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For Jesus came into the world not to condemn it, but that it might be saved through Him."
Where does it say they were wicked and trying to make themselves gods? Sounds like they were just trying to build some cool shit.
Genesis 11:4 " And they said, "Come, let us build for OURSELVES a city, and a tower whose top WILL REACH INTO HEAVEN, and let us MAKE FOR OURSELVES A NAME; lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
