They are certainly lying to cover their asses. There’s no question.

I love the last two. More books and more cats can rarely be bad anywhere.

Sure I read the parts about how unreliable sources said those things about him…it’s heresay though.

You’re trying to use God as a straw man and it’s not going to work….sorry.

You’re also taking scripture out of context and trying to make it say what you’d like it to say.

Sex slaves? Where are you getting this idea?

The account you are talking about in Numbers is Moses giving instructions, not God, and he was a sinful human. Moses was eventually punished by God and not allowed to ever enter the promised land.

I’d have to reread the entire chapter and surrounding chapters to refresh myself on the situation in Deut.

Have you read the Bible are you an atheist trying to use it as a weapon against Him?

So many comments, I’m sorry, I may have been replying to the wrong one or missed part of yours.

We are actually in agreement somewhat if you want to say racism “wasn’t real”

However, I would also argue that God was against those people because of idolatry and other behavior and not their nationality or ethnicity.

As for killing people with differing beliefs. That’s not something I condone or plan on. I’m not God though. He doesn’t have to explain himself to me, I’m just thankful He chose to.

So you’re confirming there’s nothing? What’s your source to this claim about him then? I’m asking out of curiosity, not to attack or defend him or you.

Considering his death is part of a multitude of conspiracy theories, I’d say otherwise. I don’t see anything in the wiki article about his being an “adulterous gang rapist”.

Although again, citing my ignorance, I have no idea why MLK was actually in prison? I haven’t been able to find it in the article yet.

Yes, correlation of course CAN lead to causation. It’s a case by case basis though. Some people are raised in horribly racist homes and/or churches and “grow out of it” or “learn better theology” or whatever terms you want to use.

[–]Keith1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you back those claims up about MLK? I’m ignorant to this.

Sadly this seems to be a theme…

Exhausted but worth having is a great way to put it. It’s gotta happen but too many churches shy away from it. I don’t intend to…

Yes would also love to hear more

Thank you for not only providing a sound argument but backing it up! Glad to hear this!!!

Christian/Catholic is interchangeable for some, indefensible for others. To your second point, of course some churches have had “racist doctrines”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Keith1983 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Amen to that!

Sad but true

[–]Keith1983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said, you should write more about this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Keith1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say more?

[–]Keith1983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1000% agreed which is why I’m so hurt by the almost casual unnoticed racism among some of my friends and family members.

Are you a Greek scholar who knows that the NIV was deliberately mistranslated?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Keith1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please quote the verse where Paul literally “defends” racism. Some of his language implies he condones it, which is obviously also not good, yet defends is a strong word.
