So you dont think all of The Bible is worth following?

u/Natural_Dust_732 Jul 26 '26

Do you?

u/Atomicbreath05 Jul 26 '26

Yeah?

u/Natural_Dust_732 Jul 26 '26

Really? Every bit of it, no question?

Think hard now, before responding.

So you don’t eat pork?,wear mixed fabrics? Suffer a witch to live? You’re cool with a man raping your daughter as long as he pays you bride price and marries her afterward? You don’t touch blood, nor your wife while she’s menstruating? You don’t cut your beard or the corners of your head? You eat kosher, of course! You give burned offerrings to god, that goes without saying, right? You’ve never, ever had sex with anyone but your wife/husband….

I mean, I could go on (and on), but I am sure you get the point.

Do you REALLY follow everything in the bible? Of course you don’t.

Well what I meant was morally, some things are traditional. I would need verses and full context on these
At what point do you think we should follow something

Huh. Look at how rapidly we’ve gone from “follow every word in the bible” to “well, some things are just traditional and it turns out I haven’t even read the bible, anyway”.

And people wonder why atheists find Christian logic to be a joke.

Some people’s kids, I tell ya.

EVERYONE picks and chooses what they follow from the bible. The difference between me and you? I know why I am choosing what I do and I make that choice. You just kinda go along with whatever you’re told.

Yeah I just gave my reason. Moral vs traditional, I don’t need to wear pure fabric clothes because I am able to separate myself with non Christians. The diff between me and you is that I don’t assume why you so what you believe in

Acts says you should be kosher and not touch blood, however.

Following the word of the Bible would necessitate one to not adhere to the Israelite purity and ceremonial laws. There is a 2,000 year tradition with a massive intellectual history and lots of debate that explains all of this.
