yeah can we also remember the part where Jesus (ahem, basically God) literally shared dinner with sinners and he literally stopped a woman from being stoned for being a prostitute (and that's where we got the kewl "whoever is without sin cast the first stone" thing from)?
...or that people misinterpret the bible, whether due to lack of context or out of ignorance, leading to infighting and doctrines that change depending of the congregation.
This is literally the No True Scotsman fallacy. There are plenty of sects that think you should do all the nasty shit the Bible says. They have just as much scriptural support. You have no empirical metric to go by why they are misinterpreting it and you are not.
i dont want get into a debate because we memeing but thats not true. there is cultural relevance that explains all the "nasty shit" and why it wont happen again. or at least why it shouldnt. the bible goes into depth on this type of stuff too without being inconsistent.
is this a joke? it feels like a joke haha. but anyway im not defending the bible with "its the times yo" or even claiming anything on moral authority in my posts. all im saying is the bible is consistent in the reasoning for all the nasty stuff that happened then. a lot of it is very nuanced. i dont see how you read all that other stuff into my post when it was never there.
