John 1:4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
how did the author of Genesis, and the Apostle John know that light can create matter, way before it was proven via using colliders?
you can either believe they believed the earth was flat, or they looked at a map and used a metaphor
and verses?
and most of the rules that are there in the old testament are for the preparation of the Messiah, which dont apply to us anymore
and some of it is actually teaching the Israelites to not use contaminated vessels or pots
we can go back to the original hebrew/greek if youd like
I mean I don’t see many clues for it being a metaphor or parable. They’re clearly referencing something rectangular, on multiple occasions.
Sadly I’m not familiar with old languages. I had English and French in school, as second languages. No Latin, Greek or Hebrew.
Yeah, I sometimes wonder why people still read the Old Testament. Sometimes I’ll see people call themselves Christians and reference that old stuff. Like eye for an eye, no blood transfusions, or they’ll hate on LGBT+ people and reference some outdated verses superseded by Jesus and the new covenant 2000 years ago…
the old testament isnt overall bad, theres wisdom and a lot of important stuff there, but most of the old testament laws were fulfilled by Jesus
Hmmh. And it kinda changed the entire story. Before, God was full of wrath, punished people left and right, was petty with all kind of detail. And after that he stopped messing with them in a regular basis. And now he’s supposed to love his creation. Plus all that tribal stuff wasn’t super relevant any more when Jesus and the Romans lived. At least not in the same way.
because sin had a price back then, now Jesus died for us and paid the price, we can repent if we hate our sin but back then, the price was heavy
Yeah, but “sin” is made up. Always has been. We can discuss it within the construct of thought, theology is. But other than that it’s pretty boring concept, I think. It’s a simplistic idea, invented to make people compliant.
it is not
it has drastic affects on the soul, mind, and often the body aswell
“They” want you to think that. That’s why Christianity also comes with thought crimes and all the nasty stuff we had for most of the time. (And we still have as of today.) Eat the simple truths laid out for you, and don’t activate your brain.
In reality, it’s all deeply immoral. Even the New Testament thinks slavery is completely alright. Read all Paul’s super sexist teachings. None of that is moral. And if you get a feeling of an effect on your soul, mind and body from those teachings, they got to you. I mean the effect is real. We call that psychological manipulation. It’s the same thing psychopaths or narcissistic people inflict on others. It’s real. But not a good thing.
thought crimes?
and verses?
