You canât conceive what I can, and even if Cthulhu has waited longer than long, all the more reason for you to be punctual. When your time is up, itâs up!
Oh, agree. It clearly states that women are subordinate, gays are detestable, and slavery is acceptable. Modern attempts to twist Christianity to try to pretend it condemns such ideas are where it trips over its own feet.
The slavery one perhaps you can show me where in the New Testament? In the Quaran it is clear that slavery is allowed. Jesus did not condone slavery , prove me wrong.
It clearly states whatever you want to read into it.
The Bible is way above most peopleâs reading level. In fact, itâs above the reading level of most preachers. How else can there be so many mutually contradictory interpretations?
Iâm no fan of current sentimentalist mores, which, by the way, were inspired by Christian sensibilities carried to a reductio ad absurdam. But letâs get real. The Bible is a Rorschach test.
Jesus never got asked about slavery. Itâs anyoneâs guess what he would have said about it.
The Apostle Paul said some stuff about slaves that I interpret as: suck it up, slaves, because we want to all get along and besides life is temporary anyway. My interpretation may be wrong.
Because many things are not made explicit or contradict other information we have.
He didnât say it, but he certainly condoned it by never saying anything against it, by treating it as a normal part of the human condition in various interactions and parables, and by stating that no part of the OT law would become invalid. So itâs what he didnât say.
Nah it isnât not in the slightest. Did he condone pedophilia too ? Is that why Mohamed.was an active pedophile? By your logic it means we are all guilty including you of anything we didnât say.
Was pedophilia explicitly codified in the Old Testament? Then yes, he should certainly have spoken against it. Did Jesus refer to pedophilia in a mundane way, as if it was not a matter of concern? Was pedophilia an accepted part of the ancient world in the same way that slavery was? Well then yes, he certainly should have said something against it, otherwise if we are to regard him as some kind of moral teacher then yes, he certainly was condoning it. I would take a look at your own logic.
condone verb 1. accept (behaviour that is considered morally wrong or offensive). âthe college cannot condone any behaviour that involves illicit drugsâ
For much of human history, in most societies, what we now call pedophilia wasnât even a thing. People were married off at puberty for the fairly mundane reason that they had a high chance of being dead in 20 yearsâ time, and had therefore better get on with the job of reproducing. The Bible has nothing to say about it one way or the other.
IIRC Jesus never condoned slavery; it was Paul who said that it was the natural order of things for a slave to submit to his master. But remember that Paul and his ilk were giving advice about society as it stood. What use would it have been for him to preach that slavery is wrong? The entire Roman empire accepted it as normal, and slaves who misbehaved were subject to draconian punishments. OTOH, good slaves owned by good masters might look forward to manumission and a retirement sponsored by their former master. âDo as youâre told, do it with equanimity, and things will go well for youâ was solid advice, even if it wasnât going to change the world.
Exactly. In fact from the Christian view point it was accepted that we were all servants to God. Jesus had no slaves unlike Mohammed who had a nine year old wife which we must be quiet.about whereas Jesus is now considered by Tempogain a slave enabler
No I didnât. He accepted behavior that we consider morally wrong. Thatâs the point. What possible difference does it make to us that it was considered acceptable then? Your desperation is showing.
lol really itâs not. This is not a playground, and you canât see what you said was so funny. You said he condoned it, how can from your definition he have condoned it if it was acceptable then ? You wanted to try and play word gymnastics and cut your own throat.
