The new testament is pretty clear that Jesus will return within their life time. Paul is like "don't make any major life changes, Jesus is coming soon enough." They struggle with questions like how come some of us are dead and Jesus still isn't back? Guess what, all of them are dead by now.
you are incorrect, paul was a racist piece of shit who added his name to the narrative, thanks to justinian
So you are talking explicitly about the gospels and not anything else? Because in another comment you talked about the new testament in general so I'm confused you reject a big bunch of it
you either believe it or not, i do not argue the nature of the interpretations.
That is very true. You can't try to analyze it, you just have to accept it as true no matter what. To do otherwise can break that belief. It's why many non-believers used to be Christians until they broke this rule.
and, what does anything else i say in another thread have to do with this particular argument?
.....nonononononono, you do not get to claim anything after the 96 gospels, any of the prophesies are heretical bullshit
I have no idea what you are trying to communicate
are you christian?
Does it really matter? I identified as Christian for a long time and still sympathize with certain Christian strands. I read ~~all~~ 4 of the 96 gospels at one point of my life. I don't consider myself a believer and neither an expert but I might have a clue of what I'm talking about
Anything from the Bible can be interpreted differently. Render unto Caesar seems to support some rule following, even if it's used as a separation principle between earthly and heavenly things. Was Jesus a full-on anarchist? Maybe selectively, but given everyone was to be servant to God it wasn't absolute.
I feel like "render unto caesar what is caesar's" to mean "pay your taxes. The money you're using is theirs. Your faith and beliefs aren't really part of that."
Which is really funny in the current political context.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!
We're just fighting back with the only means left. Maybe if they stopped we'd stop. But they won't. So the dye is cast.
*Die. Lice dice, but only one.
Lice dice
Ew.
Oops! Didn't notice, but I'm leaving it.
Yes our enemies dying is too easy we must first destroy them and everything they value so when they die they thank us thanks for the tip.
Wishing for someone's death is a waste of time and energy, because death will come for us all.
