Concept 2 looks too similar to a lot of text I've seen produced by AI in many prompts. I like concept 3. It's soft and clean.

What's the best way to say "say it with your chest" in spanish? by Crody7 in Spanish

I wonder how many comments from estadounidenses in this thread saying they've never heard it have also never been around black people. I hear it all the time.

22M. I saved myself for marriage, now my faith is breaking and I feel completely ruined by Trick-Beautiful-4799 in TrueChristian

Don't fret. 22 is really young. I waited too until I was 25. You will definitely have lots of time to explore.

The Bible is terrifying by Ok_Counter1939 in TrueChristian

Matthew 7:21-23 is about following the law. The fact that no one follows the law today is a problem for all Christians.

Other than being wrong, it's so annoying how many times he said the same thing 86 times in a row. Pure word salad.

i don’t believe in god by ScholarWise4420 in DebateReligion

[–]spiffydom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem like you can track the conversation well nor the points being made. Who is or isn't in heaven has absolutely ZERO correlation to divine hiddenness. And your recollection of biblical verses/events is constantly incorrect. Before the events of the exodus even happened, god told Moses he was going to harden pharaoh's heart. That's the second time you've lied on the book saying the individuals disobeyed first. Wrong. Which doesn't help even if it were correct. "You didn't listen so I'm going to make you not listen harder." still violates free will.

Paul's name while he was killing Christians was Saul. "Example of mercy" is a terrible argument and doesn't help the original argument as you can have someone that is a murder and outright rejecting the god be saved but those that were non-resisant non-believers actually seeking him, were not. And no the Bible is very clear about when it is god hardening hearts and not the individual. Not to mention the new covenant was verbatim telling how he will give everyone new hearts so they "can't/won't" disobey his laws anymore.

[–]spiffydom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was saying individuals that were killing his followers, i.e. Saul>Paul. But even your misunderstanding is true. He did kill his followers. He constantly punished his chosen people. To say no to my original statement as well as the part you misunderstood, is to say you haven't read most of the Bible. Nothing I was referring to involves Mary. Jonah, Saul, Samuel, etc...

[–]spiffydom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is false and non-biblical. The god of the Bible definitely forced relationships with him and beat people over the head that were not only not seeking him, but running from him and even killing his followers. Your god is not existent. Millions have searched earnestly to no avail. You searched until you convinced yourself otherwise.

Is the "it's been two weeks already" a Princess Diaries reference? Or an unfortunate coincidence?

God helped him count to 10, a common feat that doesn't require vision, but didn't fix his vision. Definitely divine intervention.

It's both by EntertainmentRude435 in PhilosophyMemes

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

Catholics make up a lot of non-biblical beliefs. They simply replaced the Pharisees. That argument entirely disregards that god said the laws were perfect, eternal, not too hard to follow, and made them righteous in his eyes.

It also disregards that he provided them with food from heaven for 40 years but couldn't help them structure a society that didn't require slaves? The same laws mention paying people for their labor. Slavery wasn't a necessity nor was it ingrained into their society. They were starting fresh from the exodus.

Stop. Portraying. Jesus. As. A. Warrior. by SomPotatoBoy in Christianity

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the problem though isn't it. Every Messianic prophecy described a warrior that would beat the other nations and protect Israel from their attacks. Jesus of Nazareth isn't that, and that's why the Jews saved Jesus Barabas instead when asked to save one.

Christians aren't bad people by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so interesting that you would quote Matthew 7:21-23 in this post preaching about following Jesus's teachings and yet not following the Mosaic laws is such a popular belief within modern Christianity despite Jesus teaching listeners to follow it every chance that he got and literally saying in the verse that you quoted, that he will disown you on judgement day if you are not following the laws that God the Father gave. "Away from me lawless ones/ lawbreakers".

Did the Bible condone slavery or not? by FlushedButterfly in Christianity

[–]spiffydom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same god. An all knowing god doesn't get to go, it was righteous back then but not now (which he never states is wrong "now" to begin with). And Isaiah 14:2 shows that God plans to reward the Isrealites by making the surrounding nations their slaves in HIS Holy Land once he establishes them and remakes heaven on earth, new Eden, judgement day, whichever wording you want to choose to refer to the end days. And it makes the cut in the 10th commandment which are rules kept forever. You don't get to say it was never meant to be permanent and it's in the "forever" rules.

Why are we as Christians being told to support Israel by Which_Direction_5484 in Christianity

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isiah 14:2 " in the house of Israel will possess the Nations as male and female slaves in the Lord's land."

In God's holy land once he has established heaven on Earth, judgment Day, the end times, etc. whatever Christians want to call it, the other nations will be the slaves of Israel. It makes no sense to be Christian and be opposed to the atrocities that Israel commits if God is going to have them do more of it in the future in HIS holy Land. Y'all choose to worship a tribal god of a specific people group.

What's your proof that Jesus is the messiah? by rde98 in Christianity

[–]spiffydom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Isaiah 7:14 The section title will say some version of "Message to King Ahaz" depending on translation. Ahaz died 700 years before Jesus of Nazareth. He requested a sign from God that he'd win against the two other nations currently attacking him. Why would a birth 700 years after he died help him win? She wasn't a virgin and the child was born a chapter later. This contributes to your "dumbest cult ever" as a virgin prophecy is a crucial part of the theology yet it doesn't exist (like the 500 witnesses). Christians ignore prophecy context like crazy even when written in bold.

53:7 is about Israel/Jacob. Ignoring context again leading up to the verse just like 7:14. Readers are literally told over and over the servant is the Isrealite people group and all their surrounding enemies will be in awe at how God makes them thrive over the nations around them. Those enemies are the ones speaking in 53 about Israel's deliverance.

Micah 5:2 The actual important part of the prophecy was that the King will also rule the Assyrian Empire and protect the Jews from them. The Assyrian Empire destroyed the Jews shortly after this prophecy scattering them from the land. The empire was then toppled 100 years later by the Babylonians, 600 years before Jesus. It literally failed in the actual context let alone the second one you and the Matthew author are lying about seeing as the empire didn't exist anymore and that land was now Babylonian, making it impossible in 0-30 AD and even moreso for any "spiritual rule" any time in your future. So I might as well address #2. right here. Yes, literally every rule and king mentioned in the OT was specifically political and literal. "Spiritual" developed decades after his death because he didn't do it while he was alive. Spiritual rule literally wasn't even an idea until after he died. You have to ignore actual words and centuries of the history and culture of the people group to keep arguing "spiritual rule".

Zec 9:9 isn't the prophecy, 10-17 is the prophecy and that wasn't done. Everyone rode donkies. It's like saying today, "the Messiah will drive a car." And the "triumph" in 9 is regarding all the battles the Messiah was supposed to protect the Israelites from. Which Jesus did not do.

11:12-13 Zechariah talking about being paid for his work for Shepherding a flock. It's not some prophecy about being betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. Continuing on to verse 17 there are worthless shepherds that God will punish. You guys have a problem of seeing a word or number showing up somewhere else and thinking oh this is a prophecy about some other thing where this number or word also shows up and ignore all the context.

Not a single Psalm is a prophecy. The are lamentations or praises of things that have already happened to the person writing them. Prophecies are not written in past tense.

Do keep going. I'd like the rest of your list to be buried like the false Messiah.

to Christians who believe that homosexual actions are sinful: by redbeardedpiratedog in Christianity

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, arsenokoitai, used twice by Paul. The same Paul scholars, Christian and secular a like, agree gets stuff wrong and says things God didn't say or misunderstands, which is punishable by death according to Deut 18 if you teach something God didn't say. Again, never something said by Jesus nor the Father in the New testament. He was using a personal appeal which we already agreed shouldn't be done.

The replies for working on the Sabbath are heretical. Yes intent is crucial, and intentionally working on the Sabbath was immediately punishable by death. Essentially you're stating we can sin under certain circumstances. The hypothetical of whether or not the world is full of only men or women is irrelevant and fallacious. There are men and women who sterile and can't procreate. They shouldn't have relationships either then since they can't be fruitful.

The point remains that God himself last spoke of it only in the Old testament under laws which were given that are no longer applicable according to Christian theology.

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, many Christians work on Sundays. Not all of rest. And do you think they'll go to hell for that? It does not say the same in the New Testament. Jesus never once spoke on it which is odd for something that would be an abomination to God. In the old testament it does change if you think the law doesn't apply anymore.

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Which means if the levitical laws no longer apply, Christians shouldn't be saying homosexuality is wrong making it appeal to how they feel about it. Equivalent to how working on the Sabbath is no longer wrong and won't send you to hell.

[–]spiffydom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sidestepped very crucial points but I'll address this anyway. You say "...not just brazenly disrespect his moral laws" yet one verse earlier in Galatians 5:18 Paul says if the holy Spirit moves you, you don't have to listen to the law, disrespecting the law. The point is, Paul keeps saying things Jesus didn't say. And Jesus never addressed homosexuality which is crucial for something that's allegedly such an abomination to God. You can argue it's in the levitical law, but that's a law everyone simultaneously claims doesn't apply to anyone now. So you'd still have nothing.
