Well, didn't he write the old testament? Or do you not believe in his divinity |
| You're almost as confused as a MAGA. No one thinks Christ wrote the Bible, and certainly not the Old Testament. |
Oops must be some other God that wrote the Old Testament |
I'm not religious, but you know God and Jesus were two different beings right? And, whatever the case, no one thinks God write the Bible, either You're like a MAGA! |
This is theologically incorrect. Jesus, the Hily Spirit, and God are one. God refers to itself as “we” and “I” in the bible. |

There's no call for swearing. |
Ok—I’m seeing what is happening. You are arguing with more than one person. I didn’t call anyone evil. |
Thanks for just reading my opinion and then stating yours, without acting like I have no right to my opinion. I can absolutely understand how you feel. |
I had posted 2 fairly mild comments before this, but ok, I will leave people alone. You’re going to just see this as someone trying to be superior, I guess, but I’m just an older lady who worries a lot. Please do what you need to do to settle yourself before you interact with people irl. Make sure you can be safe. |
+1 But the Bible was "inspired" by God. He did not write it. He did not take over the hand of the authors of the Bible, and write word for word, or whisper in their ear telling them what to write. In any case, it is true... the OT is full of killings, including supposedly God telling Jews to wipe out every man, woman, child and lifestock of their enemies. I think Jews today are taking this to heart. 1 Samuel 15
The OT is still in the Bible as a foundation to the NT. OT is full of wars, killings, and weird laws that Christians no longer follow ("Leviticus 19:19 (NIV): "Keep my decrees. ... Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material."") Now back to our regularly scheduled program. |
My uneducated opinion? The Old Testament was designed to instill fear in people to “obey”; when that didn’t work, a benevolent being (Christ) came about, from which we have the New Testament. I find it interesting that Christians came about following the New Testament, yet they ignore the liberal ways of Christ in favor of the Old Testament and it’s brutality. |
? MAGA Christians do that, yes, but not all. Jesus was the OG SJW and didn't care about man's laws. Jesus Himself broke man's law when He cured someone on the Sabbath. I take it that you don't know many Christians. |
