This may surprise non-Christian ignoramuses, but the Bible is in fact longer than the Sermon on the Mount.
The line about "apostolic Christianity" is particularly funny when the "foremost apostle" Paul* was by far the most ruthless on homosexuality out of any writer of the Bible. Read Romans 1. Usually they try to weasel out of this by pointing out that Paul is not Jesus, as if 62 out of the 66 books are just nice suggestions.
edit: I got this wrong, Paul does not claim to be chief among the apostles, but instead that he isn't inferior to other apostles. I was thinking of 2 Corinthians 11:5.
“Go forth and sin no more” was the punishment for being saved by Jesus from a stoning. The pseudo Christian arguments completely forget Jesus explicitly said lethal self defense and whipping heathens are morally allowed.
This is from a verse that is believed by many to be a forgery, since it only appears in earlier manuscripts, but not older ones. Many bibles have John 8 start at verse 12, for this reason, or otherwise have a very obvious note explaining this. You can research this by googling "Pericope adulterae".
Do you mean when Jesus told his followers to take swords, and then condemned Peter when he cut off the ear of the slave of the high priest? "Live by the sword, die by the sword".
Jesus has the authority to forgive sins. Does that mean that all Christians also have the authority to forgive sins? Just because Jesus did something, it doesn't mean that all Christians have that authority.
Imagine the stupidity it takes to even state that it was a “forgery” because it appeared first…
You mean the difference between self defense and causing harm for no reason?
That statement is a hilarious logical fallacy. Seriously, take a look in the mirror, it must be difficult for you.
By "earlier manuscripts", I am referring to the date the manuscript was found, not the age of the manuscript itself.
Like I said, you can research this yourself. Go do that.
One would think that trying to save Jesus from being turned over to his executioners would not be "causing harm for no reason", but Jesus apparently disagreed.
Name one Christian in the Bible who fought in self-defense. Go on.
How so? Do you have an argument or are you just chanting "logical fallacy" like it's a magic phrase that causes you to win the argument?
You're the one claiming that, because Jesus did something, all Christians have the authority to do that same thing. Do you stand by that or not?
Can't tell if faggot mad that faggots aren't welcome or
What is considered to be "the bible"? What counts as "Scripture"? Does it include the book of Enoch? Maccabees? Does it include verses that are only present in younger manuscripts, but not more recently found older manuscripts?
They will say Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, but he did explicitly say marriage is between a man and a woman. Also he said he fulfilled the law. I’ll never understand with anyone justifying whatever sin they want to by they don’t just do their own thing instead of trying to twist themselves into knots trying to justify whatever they want
They want others to accept what they're doing, but they don't want to actually justify what they're doing, so they shame you.
Yes, there's also the Sermon on the Plain.
Paul wasn't an apostle.
I have no problem with the restoration of political Christendom, but Catholic lies are over the line.
You're right, I misremembered 2 Corinthians 11:5 when Paul declares himself in no way inferior to "super-apostles."
I don't give a damn about your Paulite books. So far as I'm concerned there are three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and John and that's it.
But Paul.... he wasn't at the supper, he doesn't get the title. He was a fanboy at best, a tool of the anti-christ at worst. From my perspective you might as well be talking about Joseph Smith.
Wow OK... I would rethink the use of curses when discussing divine matters.
