GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 1 week agoThey look at one verse, 2 Timothey 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”
and apply that to the entire Bible, including the letters written to different sects in different cities/regions clarifying rules to keep them from breaking apart. Kinda like from Ghost, they imagine god reaching down and writing through people I guess.

Thanks for the reply! In the end, to any reasonable adult, truth is evident from falsehood and “good words” stand by themselves. Solomon’s “everything is vanity”, Jesus’ “it’s easier for a rich man…”, James’ “faith without works is dead”, all of it just makes sense, and because they said (and did) a lot of deep shit that made sense these characters became iconic. But the words by themselves are meaningful or not! 👍
