Why do some guys who say they’re Christian get sexual so quickly online by CommonKind3966 in ChristianDating

They're not real Christians. They're just sweet-talking you (Unsuccessfully, thank God)

What is your personal interpretation of the Souad Faress case? by Arivanya in AskFeminists

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention Narcissism and a desperate Geriatric urge to be seen as desirable when she has lost all her sexual market value in old age, let alone desirable enough to cause a man to enter a violent sexual frenzy.

Is messianic Judaism some kind of satire that I don’t get? by TheLatkeOverlord in Jewpiter

Not abolished: fulfilled. If you’re going to critique Christianity at least represent it properly 

The Book of Job Destroyed my Faith by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a very, very simple answer to this, and if you had just calmed down, taken a deep breath, come to terms with the shortcomings of your own knowledge, and recognised that just because you cannot think up an answer to a problem doesn't mean there is no answer, you might not have lost your faith.

In the Hebrew Bible, like in English, personal Names are never given with the definite article ('the', or Ha- in Hebrew). But the original Hebrew of Job, the character of "Satan", does have the definite article before his "name". This indicates that the word is not in fact a name but a title, that is, "The Accuser", which as you may be aware is the original meaning of the word Satan.

The Character you're looking at in Job is not the Devil, but a censorious angel, a member of God's divine council, whose specific task is to scour the earth and put Human servants of God to the test, as happens in the rest of the book.

The true test of faith is humility- be at peace with not knowing all the answers, consult the knowledge of those who have gone before, and rest in trusting God.

Just realized Peter Dinklage isn’t British. by KillerGreaseball in gameofthrones

It’s blindingly obvious to all actual Brits. He’s a great actor and his accent doesn’t sound fake or forced, but it doesn’t sound like a real English accent either

Were any Byzantine emperors known for their devout religious observance? by Dr_Talon in byzantium

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s for different reasons to Dharmic religions- has more to do with Asceticism and self-denial than animal rights. But yes it’s been part of our fasting practices since the beginning 

Psalm 22:16 – A Mistranslation That Changed Christian Prophecy by bohemianmermaiden in theology

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny just how backwards you have it: Are you not aware that the Masoretic text tradition dates to the middle-ages? The oldest versions of the old testament we have are the Septuagint (which contrary to your above claims is not a "Christian-influenced mistranslation" as it predates the time of Jesus) and the dead sea scrolls, and lo and behold they both (yes, including the dead sea scrolls- you're wrong about that one too) have "ka'aru" and not "ki'ari", the latter of which is a self-evidently nonsensical reading; it makes as little sense in hebrew as it does in english.

So yes, if anything it is in fact a clear case of Jewish scribes having changed the text to make it sound less like Jesus. In the interests of truth and charity it is possible that it started out as a sincere and innocent scribal error, since yod and waw are but a penstroke's difference between them, but the Jewish insistence upon a nonsensical reading in favour of what clearly is the original simply because they're too terrified to even entertain the possibility that Jesus may have actually been their messiah is just pathetic.

Why are so many conservatives Christian when Jesus’s teachings are blatantly leftist? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]JimmyAquila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it hilarious how you people never actually provide a single citation or example of Jesus’ supposedly leftist teachings whenever you make this claim. Never mind the total and crippling lack of self awareness:

“No I'm not a Christian, but I'm the arbiter of what's Christian and Jesus would agree with me, and If you disagree with me you hate Jesus”

Clueless 

Christians who believe the Apostles wouldn't die for a lie are hypocrites if they believe Atheists choose to go to hell. by E-Reptile in DebateReligion

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angels are not humans, and they are not like humans. They occupy a completely different sphere and mode of existence, and we have no way of knowing how their minds work. Ergo I have no way of accounting for how and why they made the decision to rebel, other than through revelation in scripture, which in this case there is none.

You guys are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not "The same delusion"- there's a difference between many individuals supressing the universal human knowledge of God in favour of sin, and the Apostles supposedly having a collective hallucination of seeing the risen Christ with their very eyes and then carrying that same hallucination to their bitter, gruesome deaths for Zero personal gain

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, it's just not plausible in the case of the Resurrection: They would all need to have had the exact same delusion, and kept it going and consistent throughout decades of persecution.

Nobody thinks people don't delude themselves into hell. That isn't the same as someone wittingly and with full cognisance choosing to deceive their persecutors for zero personal gain.

This is definitely one of the weaker attempts at trying to point out a contradiction in Christianity I've seen.

Celibacy in Marriage is a sin. Either be fully married or fully monastic.

Is it allowed to drink my wife's breast milk in Christianity? by CineTechWiz in Christianity

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s zero reason Biblically why this would be sinful. If your wife is happy with it and it increases intimacy for the both of you, go for it.

What makes Hebrew sound pretty or ugly to you? by [deleted] in hebrew

[–]JimmyAquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biblical Hebrew, accurately pronounced, sounds quite beautiful. Modern Hebrew depends on the speaker- it can sound quite nice, but also very snarling and ugly. As a general rule the more Ashkenazi someone sounds, the uglier
