something something mysterious ways

easy, old testament is just apocryphal tall tales produced in the pagan style, where as new testament is 90% the same author, saul, working with themes. saul has a philosphical message about the nature of man while part 1 is just knock off jewish zesus throwing thunderbolts and completeing 12 heruclean tasks etc etc

>>23785 I'm not up to the new one yet, I am listening to the old one as background noise at the moment. I am up to the bit where Lot impregnates his daughters.

Also, when humanity behaves evil, why does God need to kill the animals as well? Seems breddy fallible to me tbh smh.

>>23788 Do you have something with commentary? The Lot story seems graphic and unnecessarily pornographic, but it actually had deep political implications.

>>23793 Maybe the animals were sinners too. >>23795 No. That could be interesting but I also think people read too much into this book.

>If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it. And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts may be exposed.’ Doesn't this mean most churches themselves are sinful?

>If a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull is to be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible. >If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death. I feel that cows get away with too much these days.

>>23906 So by that explanation everything down to the last branch of tree and blade of grass, were sinners too? As far as I can comprehend, I myself am very far away of needing to pull the total genocide option to erase my past errors, yet I would never see myself infallible. Just why is every concept of higher entities so fallible to human errors? It's as they all stem from purely human imagination to serve another purpose, despite their otherworldly claims to life, will and more. Mindboggling, really.

>>23777 Carl Jung has a pretty interesting take in Answer to Job on why Jehovha is like that.

Abrahamic religions are for schizophrenics, you shouldn't read too deep into them

>If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt, and none of the condemned things are to be found in your hands. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger, will show you mercy, and will have compassion on you. He will increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your ancestors— because you obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right in his eyes. Deuteronomy 13:12-18 I dunno about this teaching, I might get in trouble with the police if I do that and people might think I'm schizo. But it's the perfect word of GOD? I'm confuse

>>23785 Saul was a Roman spy working hard to cuck the schizo Jewish religion and was somewhat successful at that goal
