Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’”

  Yeah none of this really makes any sense.

  Matthew 26 says this was the only way.

  O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt

  Jesus literally say if there were another way, let us do that.

  So yes, if you believe in the Bible, you believe that there’s was not another way to let the suffering pass, not another way to bring salvation to everyone. 

  This being said, it’s all bullshit. I studied for decades. Taught for years, served as a missionary, leader, etc. There isn’t anything on this earth that proves the asinine shit in the Bible. I’ve studied every religious text I could, read them over and over. And watched the evil shit we do, watched the damage those in every church create and allow to happen. Watched as those that are supposedly ordained of God do nothing but evil. Fuck religion. Fuck idiots that believe.

    Jesus literally said: Father why have you forsaken me? He, as the son, couldn’t even fully understand it when his human side overcame the divine.

      I didn’t know how you can deny the words that are literally written there. But you obviously believe in religion, so I understand that you make up what you want to fit your own narrative.

      To understand the bible, you need to understand the cultural context of the time it was written.

      There are so many different interpretations of the bible, what’s important, what’s the deeper meaning, and what you can ignore. Your interpretation is clearly different to the parent poster.

      For an omnipotent being, kinda strange way to get your message across isn’t it? Even the most devout followers can’t agree what it all means, let alone everyone else.

        Only an issue if you believe in Sola Scriptura honestly, it’s easy to understand how easily can any message get lost, manipulated, misunderstood through the centuries.
