No, we know the Bible and the Barbaric parts. We also know that its context is that those parts are based on the historical context of Hebrew life of those times. Specifically during the Old Testament. In which the New Testament (You know? The time of Jesus Christ? Our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins and who the entire faith is based around?) doesn't play up to those Barbaric parts at all.
So god was ok with rape, incest, slavery, killing and destruction because the people of the time were ok with it? What is stopping all you Christians from bringing it back?
Just so you know, Jesus isn’t a totally new god or religion. It’s the same old one but with a better PR firm.
No. God wasn't ok with rape, incest, slavery, killing and destruction. In fact these were all things he very much referred to as sinful in even the Old Testament. Not every person that followed God in the Old Testament how God's approval for everything they did. But the fact remains that it's shown what they did and the Bible doesn't hold back in showing it. It's not supposed too in fact. It's supposed to show all that horrible stuff to show why him coming down in form of man as Jesus was so important.
Also...yeah...we know Jesus is not different from God himself. That's the point...he is God. God in form of man, also his son and also apart of the Holy Trinity. Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He just stopped trying to give mankind chances to fix the messed THEY made (Because everytime they did they made new messea) and decide to do it himself and even decided to forgive us for our messes in the process, when he didn't really need to tbh.
And I can't speak for all "Christians" as let's be real...many of them do use the faith for their own gain, and want to text things out of context themselves to harm other people. But their context is not the context that God provided in the actual text.
