@shibao Gods Word is perfect, the Bible is imperfect: partly Gods Word and partly not Gods Word. Partly man and partly God. if I were to break it down, the Torah being the oldest has the most human adulteration and Judean national myths, while the prophets who are later are more true to the people alleged to have spoken them. the writings which are even later are not even alleged to be divinely inspired. the New Testament would be the least dubious. Christ being God was infallible, but of course the New Testament wasnt written by Christ or even by prophets, it was written years later. if Christ is the Logos and reflects Gods Word completely, then the Q source if accurate would be totally infallible, but it hasnt been found. it really isnt hard to understand when you stop seeing the Bible as a monolith entirely from God. revelation is progressive and is perfect and entirely self consistent--its the Bible which doesnt entirely accurately reflect revelation.

@shibao the parts of the Bible about the Bible being totally infallible are fallible. simple.

the poasties aren't sending their best

@shibao youre kind of being autistic about generating Christianity from first principles or whatever

@shibao reform movements are allowed to exist though

@shibao honestly I think the solution is just to say that the Bible isnt totally infallible, although God wrote a lot of it, some of it was adulterated by humans. they should just be honest and say that.

@punishedaurora fireplace and hot cocoa

@JustJohnny youre an imbecile

transphobes who have their own personal preferred pronouns for G-d who literally has no sex or gender are hilarious

@JustJohnny imagine being such a faggot that your God has a smelly wrinkly cock and balls

@shibao this is why I think its a sacred thing not to be treated lightly

@anemone I'm guessing its mostly like, keep kashrut and halakha concerning shabbat?

@anemone this actually isnt weird its very interesting

can't believe I used to like gatorade now I feel like the girl I had a crush on when I was thirteen who liked the Facebook page "HATEORADE". (I looked through all her like history) (I was obsessed with her)

@lain were all gonna make it

honestly divining in communion with any entity besides the Supreme Lord is folly, only She/He is totally omniscient

divination is white magic unless youre working with demons, I don't care what the Bible says. if prophets had the gift of dream interpretation, what is wrong with some tarot cards? i have experience with both.

if I were creating Christological doctrine I wouldnt quibble about nature, substance, essence, and the like, let alone care about such fucking cavils as triclavianism, I would simply say this: Jesus is the embodiment of Gods love for humanity made flesh. Simple!

@augustus he was an adoptionist right?

@lain Jews dont believe in avatars but yeah
