Why is laezel in the middle?
(Side note, never knew this community is here, glad you all see that Jesus taught love and the MAGA brand of Christian’s are not preaching that. Happy Easter to you all!)
Well no true Scotsman and all that, but bible god is Jesus and is god as the no evidence claim goes, so in lore he's pretty clearly pro slavery, women as property. You can try to deny that but I'll just show you the bible, it's not ambiguous about these matters.
Seems in line with MAGA and all of Christian history basically following after Rome popularized it under a dictatorship and making eternal punishment in hell the canon, counter to the early (first 500 years) church teachings in regards to afterlife.
Obey or burn forever, slavery is good actually, and women are my property does look like something a dictator would find appealing.
It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
You cannot serve both God and money.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor.
Be on your guard against all kinds of greed. Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
This is very easy to do.
— "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."
— "It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs." (He says, to a woman begging for his help)
— That time he got mad and murdered a fig tree because he was hungry and it didn't have any fruits.
— "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." (He intentionally speaks in riddles so that some people go to hell)
— "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Punishment for thought crimes)
Jesus was not the perfect, just man you all pretend he was.
You can tall a lot about people by how they interpret the bible and which parts they choose to ignore.
Aren't Christians supposed to be following the teachings of Jesus Christ? You know, the guy who preached kindness, fought hypocrisy ("those without sin may cast the first stone"), encouraged self-accountability ("if your eye causes you to sin, cast it out"), and gave his life for the betterment of others?
God is an egotistical a-hole. He tested his followers in inhumane ways to prove their faith and devotion and used the fear of eternal suffering and damnation to enforce his will.
A Christian that reads the Bible and takes away the teachings of God but not Jesus is misguided at best.
