Why? Why follow the Bible at all? Give me one good reason why I should take a whole book of questionable origin and follow it.
They didn't have DNA tests and hashing back in that time, there's no way to prove the texts are original this many hundreds of years later, and there are so many explanations for a "fatherless baby" (unconscious rape, concussed and memory loss, shame and withholding the truth, etc). So many pictures depict god in the clouds. Humans couldn't reach the skies back then. Now we can. Guess what? No magic man in the clouds. There are so many reasons not to believe the Bible it just blows my mind that anyone believes in it.
The protagonist beats bankers with a belt whip and chills with sex workers on the reg. Plus he always brings the booze.
Yeah the way Jesus is presented is pretty dope actually, judge not, and just be excellent to each other. The rest of the Bible is the opposite of his "teachings".
Gran of salt and all, but ever heard of the "Caesar's Messiah" theory? Won't say it's a 100% but interesting nonetheless, and explains why new testament so starkly different from old.
I can't say I've ever heard of it. I'll look into it though, thanks!
E- looked it up, I mean at the end of the day there is no super natural person/God thing, but it does appear that Jesus was a real person, who certainly would not have risen from the dead. It's all a farce at the end of the day though....
Right, I ran into it a few years ago I think, a YouTube rabbit hole, made some interesting points
And it's never explicitly said whose wedding he was at. For all we know, he might have been the groom. But they don't want to hear that he might have done what people did back then and got married.
Something something patriarchal smear campaign
I mean, they most certainly had DNA
🤣 *DNA tests, edited.
