They used the Talmuds as well. They also shared numerous oral stories and so on. The majority could not read and so it was often stories.

It was never that way that way for ancient Jews. That’s mainly something started by modern Protestants.

well you can’t agree with my comment while disagreeing with my comment. My comment was when you present the two arguments there is either a case where Yahweh dislikes pedophiles and adulterous or where he dislikes gay men. But the verse can’t say both.

You asked how is it implied. I mentioned how it is implied. I don’t see a reason to repeated it. I shared a link to the verse in Hebrew, and highlighted the fact it used two different words, and made sure to point out the cultural requirement of being married. What I did was show what it’s...

Here is the second most commonly used clobber verse. Leviticus 20:13 New American Standard Bible 13 If there is a man who sleeps with a male as those who sleep with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they must be put to death. They have brought their own deaths upon...

Yet nothing there says that. You’re just inferring it all. The abominations are all the sins they were committing. Nothing to do with isolating homosexuality. Nothing in the entire Bible ever mentions Sodom and homosexuality. Nothing in the entire tankh ever mentions lesbians. Just gay men...

what part are you finding disheartening?

Instead of a single yes or no answer I would rather showcase a handful of verses and what they and don’t say. I’ll one right now because I’m a. It busy. So one of the most common arguments against homosexuality comes from people using the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in genesis 19. Genesis...

jesus worded stuff far better than Paul. so when I study a subject I look at all sides. If when you study a subject it’s by only getting stiff you agree with it’s a echo chamber. It half wisdom. So take take homosexuality. If I want to know about homosexuality I’ll look at the typical stuff...

My faith is not in any danger. My commitment to honest science and reality is also not in danger. What I stated is my opinion, and its not getting weaker. I have faith Yahweh is real and inspired the Bible. I am certain science can be used to accurately determine the world is several billion...

No one knows a exact number or even a estimate. There are at least 5 people claiming to be the messiah right now. my point is that scholars recognize revelation as a symbolic book full of imagery. 1,000 is it taken literally by scholars in general.

I agree there is a lot of dumb bigotry in here. The threads are full of terrible humans that are not reflecting Christ at all. also I’m pretty sure the subtext was there with David. My main issue with David was that he was a rapist. Now I believe he repented. But it’a a stain on his legacy. A...

There is not a one set view of evolutionary creationism. for me it comes down to this. There is 0% proof that Yahweh exists. But I choose to place faith in him anyways. I believe that’s because of the workings of the Holy Spirit. though there is no evidence for it, or against it, I can’t say...

The majority don’t take that verse literal.

That’s a a few of the species of spiders and snakes I’ve found in the last year. The first spider is a wolf spider. The second is a golden silk orb weaver. The snake is a gray rat snake and the second one is my favorite snake, the eastern mud snake.

Well NT definitely seems like a well grounded biblical scholar who loves the spirituality , and not just the technical aspects, if Jesus Christ. He seems to held in wide regard among the majority of Christians, including the scholars. It’s mostly a very specific niche of Christians who don’t...

Nice. what types of areas do you like hiking? I really like hiking the coastal sand plains of southeastern USA. I guess my favorite areas to hikes are forests that are ecologically managed with plenty of creeks running through it or bordering a larger delta system.

Out of curiosity has anyone in here read any books by LGBT scholars and theologians , or affirming and accepting theologians and scholars, and did a in-depth study into why they believe that they believe based off of the Bible? Regardless of what stance you take on a subject, it’s important to...

I’m really big into a lot of outdoorsy stuff such as hiking, and foraging for wild edible native plants and mushrooms. I enjoy field botany and working through keys to ID plants and learn their habits and studying all the local native flora and fauna. Snakes, spiders and plants are my main...
