Have these people just never actually read the Bible, or something?
No but they thump it all the time
Acquaintance from high school married a preacher man, “met” him on FaceBook. Very intelligent and well educated man. His doctorate in divinity is real, he worked for it, absolute expert. His arguments were well crafted and we loved poking each other. Plus, we were both hot pepper fanatics and growers. :)
Here’s the point: That’s the only Christian I’ve met in life that could actually debate Biblical views. I can turn most of them into a raging, spitting, cursing mess with a dozen questions, and they almost never engage for the whole dozen.
Guess I should include my best friend. He was a conservative Southern Baptist, very angry when I announced I had turned to atheism, though he was fine with me as a deist. LOL, I corrupted that fucker. Now he’s an atheist, liberal, and supports gay rights. But again, he’s an exception. His best traits are that he’s intelligent, way more so than I, and best yet, he can admit he’s wrong and is willing to examine his beliefs. Exceptions proving rules and whatnot.
Come on, a Palestinian man preaching love and compassion ? The whole lot of them would call him a communist terrorist…
If Jesus came back and came to America, he would be shot within 10 minutes of opening his mouth and 100 years later a new religion would be started with a Glock as it’s symbol.
Why the fuck are they riding this dead dick so hard? He was a horrible debater, held repulsive beliefs even to some people on the right, and wasn’t even really that popular. He was a laughing stock to the majority of people and a perfect poster child for ignorant racist idiots the world over. Like, if you’re going to martyr someone, pick someone who stands up to scrutiny.
Much like Judas.
Hear me out in this one, if by disciple they mean Peter who cut off a Romans ear, or Judas who sold out Jesus, or Thomas who doubted Jesus return, then yeah I get it.
Jesus already had a 13th apostle… Dude doesn’t know about Matthias.
Or Paul, apparently.
There’s a handful of others, but it all depends on what one considers a canonical source. Like the Dead Sea scrolls vs a King James Bible.
We all know they will only accept one bible.
Can’t read it , it’s not held upside down
Wasn’t Judas the 13th disciple?
No, he was one of the twelve disciples.
To be fair, any garden variety conservative could be an disciple. Judas, specifically.
They openly ignore and even violate Jesus’ words and values regularly. Just the other day someone in the senate shouted “silent prayers bring silent results” and forced everyone to pray aloud.
I immediately thought of Matthew 6:5. If you’re going to believe in fairy tales, maybe you should read the whole book first.
Judas, specifically.
Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.
(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)
🤣 man “he felt shame and at least hung himself” never thought I’d LoL to the betrayal of Jesus.
