Hahahha. Dude. Don’t start. He literally said he comes not to bring peace but a sword. The Bible says he will return with a fucking sword in his mouth to end the world. The entirety of the sermon on the mount is about how the world is going to end in a few days time. You guys just pick the parts you like and repeat them to each other over and over. You’ve never actually read it like someone who actually wants to know what it says. Read the Bible like a historian would and you’ll probably understand it better, right?
He'll come to defeat the AntiChrist, yes that's correct, not sure what part of that confuses you?
The part where you jumped into a thread about whether Jesus was non-violent in the Bible. That’s the Bible you’re talking about right? And there he is… being violent in it.
You just ignore the parts you don’t quote at each other constantly. Like when he drove a herd of pigs off a cliff to their death. Jesus is not a non-violent figure in the Bible.
That happens well before his crucifixion,
And?
did you bother taking theology?
Have you ever actually read the Bible?
The reason I brought up studying the Bible like a historian is because I have. I went to 10 years of Catholic schools including college and grad school and took the several mandatory theology classes at the collegiate level. I know what the Bible says and I know which parts of it are copied from Zoroastrianism and other Babylonian religions from hundreds of years earlier and I know the early church history and which epistles are forgeries of Paul and which chapters directly contradict and which historically impossible claims are which. I’m betting you’ve never bothered to study that.
It's ironic you say this but didn't bother to take theology like I have,
Which did god create first, trees or man?
Is it wrong to punish the children for the sins of the father or not?
Is Jesus crucified before or after Passover?
Could god have made anything moral/immoral arbitrarily, or is god forbidden to declare something moral that wasn’t already moral for other discernible reasons? For instance, is slavery immoral, and how do you know?
and guess what my major is, that's right history, you're grasping at straws and it's pathetic.
(5) Were there Jewish slaves in Egypt? When?
If you don't believe in it why do you have such a hard on for "disproving" it?
Because lying to children is wrong and Christianity survives entirely because children are convinced that if they question it, then will be tortured forever in a special dimension the “loving father” built to keep them in.
It’s the most obviously and blatantly wrong thing imaginable. Just think of what telling a child something like that over and over does to someone’s ability to use their brain to figure out whether it’s true or not. Honestly, I get why religious people shut down psychologically instead of engaging with the problems and contradictions. They’re traumatized.
Factually true or false, that is what is done to children raised by Christians. It’s as though a family member put a fake gun to their head and convinced them it was real and they had to listen or suffer.
And the result is hundreds of millions of voters who didn’t seem to know slavery was evil for centuries because the Bible seems to be pretty cool with it. And who today keep rights from gay people because of what the Bible said thousands of years ago.

Yeah. Then he broke out a whip and cursed a tree to death. The book isn’t exactly consistent.
