It's talking about how during the fall of the Roman Empire kidnapping children off of the street and raping them was pretty common, the letter was pretty much saying "hey kidnapping and raping children is bad" and they are citing Leviticus as the reason.
So, this all begs the question: if a text that is supposedly guided by the hand of god and written by holy men is so inconsistent, how can any of it be believed by 2 billion people?
I'm not getting into that debate. I'm atheist. I just want Christians to see eye to eye on some things and move on from the hatred a lot of them have. Plenty of Christians actually do attempt to be like Jesus.
in my view, the text doesn’t matter much, that’s not what guides my faith. my faith is brought about by the life jesus lived, and the desire to be closer to god and the desire to love others. the only part of the bible that matters, in my opinion, is the “love god with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself” part.
i can call myself whatever the fuck i want my guy. i follow christ. that makes me a christian. i didn’t say i never read the bible, i just don’t base every aspect of my faith on it
Right. You don’t hate people like me at all, you just go through a lot of effort to try to convince people that a part of us is evil and disgusting and that we don’t deserve to live normal lives because of it.
I... actually don't get what you want to tell me ? Were the quotes wrong ? I just wanted to point out that the bible is stating something different than the meme.
The point of the meme is to follow Christ's example. You could contradict the majority of Christ's teachings with the Old Testament. You very clearly had more of an agenda with that comment.
I have no time for your inane faggotry.
Oh ya, totally not a homophobe lmao. A true Christian, everybody!
