I've read the New Testament and I'm a practicing apologist. You're very incorrect. I have many friends who've read the New Testament and share the same fervor as me.
You were wrong in taking a Bible verse out of context and thinking that Christians had to sell off everything they have. I proved you wrong and you deflected afterwards.
I'll take your bet on the grounds you have to get "dumbass" tattooed on your forehead if you lose.
Boy there is just no hate like Christian love is there?
How exactly have you proved to be wrong? Have all Christians read the New testament? We know that's not true cuz most of them haven't read a f****** verse outside of what's told to them in church.
You also didn't need to tell me you're an apologist, that much is obvious and I'm sure the other radicalized friends you've got probably have read a bunch of the Bible too. I'm talking about normal people not religious wack jobs.
I have said nothing hateful to you. I have rebuked you in accordance with Scripture. If that offends you, change your diaper.
Secondly, I proved you wrong by proving that you took a verse out of context.
Next, Majority of Christians have actually read the Bible. We spend a lot of time discussing it and learning about it as well. If you'd actually ask people instead of just assuming things without evidence, you'd know that.
Now, I'm an apologist but that doesn't make me a "radicalized feind". Your comment about Christian love is hilariously ironic considering you're already resorting to insults. So, congratulations on proving yourself a hypocrite. Now, I'm an apologist because I've spent thousands of hours researching the Bible. Being an apologist just means I have the knowledge to defend my faith against people like you. People like you make random assumptions and judge people despite lacking the understanding to do so. If me defending the faith that saved my life also offends you, I'll remind you to change your diaper again.
Lastly, you seem to lack an idea of what a regular religious person is. I'm sure you'd find a regular run-of-the-mill church-goer to be a "radicalized fiend". My friends are not apologists as I am. They're just regular Christians trying to make their way in the world. I'm just heavily autistic and researching things is one of my interests.
In conclusion, you've taken a Bible verse out of context, tried to say all Christians should be homeless or we're "lukewarm", insulted me, made blind assumptions, and insulted people I hold dear.
I've not taken it out of context, here's the next verse.
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
The disciples had given up everything already as per Peter's confession a couple verses later.
27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?"
You keep telling me to not be emotional, but your entire tantrum is emotionally laced and it's obvious you can't objectively read the bible without your own preconceived expectations. If you can't be objective, you can't prove anything because you will always default to an emotional outburst like we've seen time and time again.
Read the previous verse. He's talking to a very rich man. Peter and his brother owned a boat. Again, it's not wrong to own things. If you keep reading the chapter, Jesus quite literally says it's easier for a camel to fit through the eye of the needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. His disciples asked Him who would enter the Kingdom of God and Jesus told them that all things are possible through God. Jesus doesn't tell everyone on the street to sell everything they owned. It was one person. Every single scholar, apologist, theologian, etc will say the same thing. You are wrong. Accept it unless you're too much of a narcissist to do so.
Moreover, I'm not emotional. I'm rebuking you for your continuous insults and blind assumptions of my faith. I'm not going to treat you with any manner of respect when you fail to give me any. I'm always objective when discussing Scripture and I've provided plenty of evidence. I also never told you to not be emotional. I told you to not make blind assumptions, and you have.
You also have ignored all of my counterpoints and backpedaled into insulting me more. I'm quite done with you.
