anti-book banners have used that exact scenario, gotten a bunch of religiots in a lather, then said it was the Bible.
, had no idea the bible was so hawt
That or Ezekiel 23:20 where we randomly start talking about big ole donkey s that fire loads as big as a horses
Praise be, praise be.
the old testament is wack.
Or the townspeople who want to rape an angel so the guy gives them his daughters instead.
Old Testament: I want some nasty.
New Testament: That's not who we are.
...perfect
ah yes the much nicer story of creating your son for the sole purpose of being brutally murdered despite being innocent
Fun fact: it's been said about me that I have genitals like those of donkeys and emissions like that of horses.
In all seriousness, is there better smut than the OT?
He wasn't innocent cause your, my and your fellow posters' sins were heaped upon Him. Also in order for a sacrifice to be suitable it had to be a flawless, spotless lamb...the only way He could've qualified was for Him too to be spotless

im pretty sure the big guy makes the rules himself.
"for a sacrifice to be suitable it had to be".... he's the one who decided a sacrifice was necessary.
"only way he could have qualified"... the big guy sets the rules. he decides what qualified.
and his best answer was to create a son to sacrifice himself to himself to make himself happy. a ritual sacrifice to himself which itself had nothing to do with human morality.
its a laughably convoluted system when he could have chosen anything
God creates the world, including how the world works in every conceivable way.
The world sucks, so he kills everyone in it except for Noah and his fam.
Then the world continues to suck. Instead of changing the rules or looking deep within and seeing where he went wrong, God sends a part of himself, who is not quite himself, to be killed in order to redeem all the failed people he created to entertain himself.
But this still doesn't fix anything so all the people are sitting around for thumbs up their butts for thousands of years for the son, who is God but also not God, to come again to do it again or whatever.
Just because something is recounted in the Bible doesn’t mean it’s ‘endorsing’ it. Oftentimes it’s to show how corrupt humanity tends to be; even the man after God’s own heart fell. That’s why we need someone perfect to pay the debt we can’t. John 3:16.
Most of you will ignore this, but in addition to the Bible itself, Charles Ryrie’s annotated Bible is helpful. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (a brilliant atheist who became one of the greatest modern Christian theologians), Evidence That Demands a Verdict (includes great sections on fulfilled prophecy, history, and logic), The Case for Christ, and By This Name (explains how the Old Testament and New Testament are tied together) are also good.
And thats where humanity fails...we keep thinking we know better or could've done it better basically making ourselves our own lower case g gods. It's exactly what lead to Satan's fall. The picture here is the immense, incomprehensible holiness and perfection of God...and on the opposite man's flawed Morality. His holiness is often described as being holy, holy, holy to both emphasize the magnitude n also points to His tri-unity. You're right He set the rules n the rule He set was that the penalty for sin is death. So because of our sin we deserve death. But He demonstrated His love for us by coming down Himself and sacrificing Himself for us...you...while we/you were still sinning/ sinners. Its a free gift, nothing convoluted to it. You just have to accept the gift with your whole heart.
The second problem, Satan's as well is pride. We can't humble ourselves enough to say this life isn't mine. I have no problem kneeling down, calling myself a slave and uh oh watch out gonna emasculate myself, His bride (the church is His bride n WE are the church, its not a building its an organism; a body).
Sure He could've created robots n programmed them to love Him but would you even want that? You want to be chosen, and you have...you have been adopted. Its a story of redemption.
Couple of billion years ago the building blocks for DNA and amino acids fell into the earth’s oceans and in that warm broth man was created. Then a couple of thousand years ago man created the fairy tales of Jesus and Mohammed and began killing each other in God’s name. Most recently the spiritual leader, rapist, pedophile and con man Trump has picked up the calling to carry on God’s work. Not that complicateded.
Almost all the absurdly violent in the Bible is endorsed by the Bible. David killing men to sleep with their wives. There's even a scene where some kids poke fun at a man for being bald so God sends bears to murder the kids. Noah's daughters sleeping with him is endorsed by the Bible. The part I mentioned where Lot gives his daughters for townspeople to rape is endorsed in the Bible. God kills incredible amounts of innocent people in the Bible. There's really no getting around the fact that it's an insane book that should be read as anthropology and history and not taken seriously.
Now, we can take it that the New Testament was a refutation of the insane Old Testament, something an early figure like Marcion believed (because it is impossible to reconcile the old vengeful God and Jesus), but Christ kind of contradicts this at times, doesn't at others. And Marcion was rendered heretical before long.
But modern American Christians only believe in the Old Testament God of insanity, murder, hypocrisy, and so on, because it supports their worldviews and actions, rather than what Christ preached.
tl;dr the Bible is a mess of stories lashed together by fragile humans and then interpreted by elites in order to enforce their own awful behavior. But to say the Bible doesn't endorse murder, rape, slavery, abuse, and so on, is just false. It does.
this is true
but the bible endorses slavery. in fact spells out rules for the way you are supposed to treat your slaves! with different rules for different folks. hebrew slaves have nicer rules. foreign slaves you can treat worse
i mean the big guy himself had a pretty nasty rule if you learned that some poeple from a nearby town said "hey maybe lets check out a different god". to be precise:
If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt
this is not just something recounted, this is an instruction

i'm desperately trying to find a video related to carter bryant that i can post so i can be spared another banal take on whether someone believes in god or not. i'd take cutewizard posting 10 videos over having to read any more half-ass apologetics.
lol. Carter Bryant stepping on some sensitive toes here! Gonna be a rocky few years.

Hahahahahaha
If I’m the Spurs there are three ways we can make the playoffs. If all 3 happen then we win the damn le.
a) Vassell becomes a true 3&D player. By limiting his offensive output Vassell focuses solely on the defensive end. He pays attention to his man when he is off ball, makes the right switches, fights over screens, and I just a pest for his man on the defensive end. And on offense he shoots open 3 balls and cuts to the basket. That’s it. No more dribble iso shots. No more midrange and definitely no more contested jumpers in the teeth of the defense.
B) Sochan learns how to play offense and he become our 3&D guy. His defense is already good. It can improve but he’s good at it. But on offense he is more than just a guy who has his defender cheat off him the whole game. He shoots the 3ball at a high volume AND a league average percentage. The last year literally had people not even bother to run out and contest him so it should be possible. He also needs to stop being scared to shoot the ball. Even Ben Simmons is saying “you’re open.”
C) Carter Bryant becomes our 3&D guy. We’ve seen it happen before with rookie Kawhi. Just have legitimate length and athleticism and try hard while making open shots and you will always have a spot on the roster. Can Carter make 3s? Can Carters defense translate to the NBA? Idk but his shot diet are going to be James Hardenesque. All 3s and dunks. No inbetween. And in reality he will only get about 7 shots a game. That’s it. Tough ask for a rookie to get in a rhythm as a role player with such limited opportunities on the offensive side but that will be the ask for him.
IMO both A and B are impossible. Vassell has no urgency to play defense and I’m pretty sure is ADHD. While Sochans injury prevents him from practicing his shot anymore. Not that his workouts with his shooting were productive anyways. But Sochan will never be a good shooter from deep.
That leaves option C. And boys I am a believer in option C. I think Carter Bryant should be our day 1 starter.
That's not at all how life started. The Miller Urey experiment created a unique cir stance that had the perfect environment and control settings to accidently cause a perfect chemical reaction to create the necessary abiotic amino acids that could plausibly be accidently recreated millions of time that could plausibly hopefully create another extremely unlikely cir stance that perfectly crafted the unique environment and control settings to plausibly take a step in the right direction, out of the billions possible, to start building a biotic foundation.
There's about 4 or 5 Guesstimation encounters that must be fulfilled perfectly to theorize a "possible" pathway from for life to be conceived. This is a leap of faith far greater than any religious scroll on the planet.
There is a law in Biology called abiogenesis that has held true through all of known life. Life comes from life. Life has never been born outside of life. The Miller Urey experiment, even though it provided step 1 in multiple faith leaps to breaking this law, did not recreate the necessary steps for life even in the perfectly controlled and manipulated experiment.
This isn't even the kicker to existence. Wait until you read about how perfect and necessary the element carbon is and how the theorized likelihood of carbon "not" being designed is 1x10-27.
.00000000000000000000000000027 % chance it could accidently appear in a perfect environment and control settings.
When you study astrophysics and biochemistry, you find how much more probable life was a "creation theory" or "fairy tale" than it was any scientific explanation know to man.
Bias leads people one way or another. Science itself, points to the fairy tales being right.
