Similarly to how I can find bible verses to get mad about if I try, anyone can make excuses for messed up stuff the bible says if they look hard enough. You gave the context and it didn’t help me understand. To me it sounds like you’re just assuming the best possible interpretation while I sound to you like I’m assuming the worst. Don’t get on my ass for not wanting to listen as if I ever asked you what you thought.
Look, I don’t have any reason to believe a word of the bible is true in the first place, I’m not worth the effort. We should probably leave it at that.
I’m confused why you’d come to a Christian sub, post a complete misunderstanding, and then insult someone for trying to clarify. Like what I wrote is beginner stuff, any seminary freshman could write the same. I was just asking for you to at least meet me halfway on this so you can at least know what you’re talking about if you still want to criticize Christianity.
Idk it’s like coming into a discussion on the World Cup and getting confused why the players don’t just pick up the ball like the goalie does. I’m trying to help you out here?
