Lemmy moment

Looks nothing like obama

Lack of faith in Lemmy, that is 😂

Here before the comment section turns into a wasteland

Christians don’t believe that the Bible is the literal spoken word of God. Jesus is The Word.

We believe in “divine inspiration” that everything written in it is appointed to be written by God through human authors - that God intended for man to write and compile it. But in reality it’s 65 separate works.

The Bible is more of a parallel to Mohammed and Jesus moreso a parallel to the Qur’an if you compare them.

The vast majority of denominational split is over Church structure. The Bible isn’t really clear on how to run a Church or the very specifics (classic one: when Jesus said “this is my body”, how do we interpret that?) yet it’s quite clear over the important issues- that Jesus, who is God, died for the remission of sins.

I think that’s more relevant. The differeny Christian denominations worship the same God, rather than Muslims and Jews

Why would a captured slave people be producing their own pottery, exactly?

The old testament shows Egyptian influences- Moses’ name is Egyptian, the Ark of the Covenant is Egyptian in design. There is a lack of archeological expeditions either in this field. I don’t really know how you’d definitively prove this.

Not really (unless someone greatly misunderstands theology). God has no opposite - Satan is merely an angel, who’s opposite is St Michael the Archangel. Revelation depicts Satan being destroyed without much of a fight.

Wdym

Wonder how the muslims who criticise us for worshipping a Man will feel about your comment, lol

So Mohammed is worshipped as God?

The three different forms thing isn’t the trinity, that moreso describes modalism which oneness pentecostals believe.

The Old testament is written by loads of people, generally noted down oral tradition, kingdom records, prophecies, etc.

The new testament is written by a bunch of guys who witnessed Jesus and they’re writing down what they saw, as well as letters these guys sent.

The Qur’an is some guy who had a hallucination in a cave where he thinks god told him to marry 9 women including a six year old. Also just full on claims the bible and torah are scripture yet flat out contradicts them while claiming they’re legit. Retcons a lot of stuff and Also claims Jews worship Ezra for some reason which literally never happens.

Muslims worship a god who tells them to marry multiple women and says you have to earn your way into heaven. Also believes that god never became man.

Christians worship a God who became Man and died for the sins of all, promising eternal life by grace.

Jews like to follow loads of rules and believe that the God Christians worship wasn’t actually God at all.

If cousin A were to say “I worship the one true god, he has four arms and two legs”

If cousin B were to say “I worship the one true god, he has two arms and four legs”

And cousin C were to say “I worship the one true god, he has no arms or legs”

They’re clearly worshipping a different god. If all three of them claimed it’s the same god that their deceased grandfather worshipped, still doesn’t mean it’s the same god. Either they’re all wrong or only one is correct.

slanders religious people

Calls them “stupid pedants” when they attempt to make a defence

If you plant it again, it isn’t the same plant. Just because Christians, Jews and Muslims claim to have the same creation literature (The Muslims even have a completely different narrative about Abraham) doesn’t mean it’s the same god.

Christians believe Jesus is God. So it’s not the same entity.

They are all monotheists. Doesn’t mean they believe in the same “one true god”, just that they have their own separate "one true god"s

There is no archaeological evidence to say the Israelites weren’t in Egypt. In fact, quite the contrary

Islam was started by a pagan guy who liked Christian and Jewish theology. So he grafted some stuff in. (Some pagan stuff was also added in like the Kaaba and black stone).

Christianity and Judaism have such different concepts of God that Who they worship isn’t really comparable.

It is a fundamental. Christians worship Christ as God - which Muslims believe just to be merely a prophet and Jews believe to be a sorcerer and a blasphemer.
