Comment on community for lgbtq+ christians or those learning about christianity

You posted a graphic with 439 alleged contradictions. I need to verify them actually being contradictions to answer your comment. But I have literally spent my time as I have grown up reading and investigating these alleged contradictions and couldn’t find any holding water. If you want me to arbitrarily pick one for you, I can. I just thought it would be best to let you pick a favourite.

I don’t see how other self professed monotheists raping little boys disproves monotheism. That’s like saying evolution isn’t real because scientists in that field also argued for eugenics. And yes, it does matter to me. Child abuse disgusts me at my core and I would love nothing more than to see these people drowned with a millstone… Although that’s probably too kind to them.

Anyway, Random number generator told me “205”. “At what time of day was Jesus crucified?”

Mark 15:25

And it was the third hour when they crucified him.

John 19:14-16

Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,

Precise timekeeping is a modern innovation. Back then, they divided the day into quarters. Third hour could mean any time in the late morning or afternoon. Sixth hour could mean early or late afternoon. These people were eyeballing the sun.

That would require actually reading the Bible. Have you? I have. As I told the other person, I’ve had a Christian confirmation when I was 15.

Disproves? As in, we’re going to argue whether a single God actually exists? Don’t be childish.

My proof is that the the Bible isn’t the word of God is the Bible itself.

Eventually God can’t make a triangle which doesn’t have three angles. Because then it wouldn’t be a triangle, see? You can go ahead and start looking into those contradictions, although I assume that if you actually do, that will be the most Bible you’ve ever actually read.

Yet you defend the system which makes it possible in the first place, became the act of rape is so disconnected from you supporting Christianity that you think it’s morally alright to still “believe” despite the massive and SYSTEMIC raping of children the Catholic Church did.

It doesn’t matter what hour Jesus died in. It matters that there’s contravening accounts. If there’s a contradiction, both obviously can not be correct and thus the Bible can not be the infallible word of God, despite claiming so.

  Yes I have read the Bible. I was Baptised and confirmed in my early 20s. A triangle with four angles isn’t a failure of power, it’s a failure of language. We have a four angled shape God can create. It’s called a Quadrilateral.
  
  Rapes happen in hospitals and schools - does that mean proponents of healthcare and education are defending a system that makes it possible? Shame on them, I guess.
  
  If you had a criminal court case, and you only had one witness, it would be less reliable than one with two witnesses.

    And what is scripture made out of again? God … or language?
    
    You’re really gonna make me go through all the tedious examples of how illogical monotheism is? No thanks.
    
    Yes I have read the Bible
    
    The whole Bible, not just bits which you found through googling it? The actual, whole book, from cover to cover?

    You read the whole Bible before deciding everything in it is true and thats definitely possible, despite there being sentences like “God can create triangles with angles of ≠ 3?”
    
    Alright, well, you do you m8.

    If you show me a healthcare system that has as much systemic rape in it that Catholicism does, I’ll show you a healthcare system which I criticise and advocate to reform.

    I’m sorry but I’m not smoking crack and can’t keep up with you.
    
    If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying “a guy threw red paint on my face”, and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying “a guy threw red paint on us”, especially when you then don’t find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don’t even recall ever seeing any.

    I’m literally a Protestant. I oppose “seals of confession” which allowed most of this abuse to happen. Abuse can still happen, just like how it can happen in schools and hospitals. I don’t tolerate it.

    Except that’s not what’s happening. One guy said “Jesus was executed around Friday morning” and another guy said “Jesus was executed around the afternoon”, and these are two guys from 2000 years ago who’s only method of timekeeping was to look at the sun, and they split the day into quarters, it is a lot more understandable. Now say Jesus was executed at around 11am. That would both qualify as morning and around noon. If anything, it shows that they weren’t corroborating a made up story and actually witnessed something, since they both gave their estimates of the time.
