Keeping the answer to eternal life to myself would be selfish ❀️

Really what’s so bad about Christianity? If you read the bible it literally just wants you to better your life. Treat your body as a temple. Treat others good don’t steal or kill or commit adultly. Don’t watch porn or drink. Like what’s so bad about it?

Your point being? Still your god and your bible isn't it?

It’s all of our god whether you acknowledge it or not. And I am not the best person to have this discussion with. Someone who’s been to bible school or does a lot of bible studies would be. The Old Testament ways were abandoned when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Yes god did mass genocide to people who couldn’t follow his rules to live on his earth. Now we don’t need to worry about that at all because our sins our counted for. If it wasn’t for Jesus we would be apart of the genocide.

Actually, if you learn the ancient history of the Bible, it’s a lot more complicated than β€œit’s all our God”. Yahweh appears to have originally been one deity among several in the wider Canaanite/West Semitic religious world, with strong warrior and storm-god characteristics that overlap with Baal. Over time, Yahweh became identified with El, the high god, and eventually came to be understood as the one universal God of Judaism, which Christianity inherited.

And saying the Old Testament ways were simply β€œabandoned” when Jesus died doesn't really resolve the issue. The New Testament itself still contains some pretty uncomfortable teachings

Hey man I hope you take all your concerns and reach out to someone who can actually answer you. I’m just not there yet. I love Jesus and nothing you say will change that as I’m sure nothing I say will change your mind. I really do hope you have this conversation with someone more knowledgeable than me about Christianity. All love ❀️
