They where doing some plays at a church I went to and some girl complained that a girl never got to play god. They let her do the scene of God saying stick your staff in my burning bush or whatever it was. Got a good laugh out of the crowd

If God is supposed to be everything, then why is he assumed to be male? If anyone should be above the concept of gender and go by a neutral pronoun, its God

Yeah but in the modern era, since these alt right types love God so much, then why arent they embracing gender neutral pronouns and transcending the concept entirely since that effectively brings us closer to God?

It couldnt be that theyre just hateful hypocrites, could it?

I mean, it could, but it could also be that they're under mind control by aliens who are trying to invade Earth to steal all the cannabis. We can't conclusively rule it out.

Not arguing that. I just thought it was funny and fucked up that's the line they gave the girl who wanted to play God in the play.

In human form, with human weaknesses. God in his purest form is supposed to be everything, which should transcend such things as biological sex and gender.

Also is Jesus God, or the son of God? Or is that one of a million things creationists cant agree on?

Gods a funny guy. Remember how he made rhe Israelites spin around in circles looking for the promised land.

Seems like he pretty much gave up after 40 years and just told them "you got it", but if we learned anything from black panther is that it isnt a place. Its a people.

Idk youre on like some other plane of existence thinking. God likes matter, why else would he have created it.

We wont really know some stuff until we die. Thats probably why he said something along the lines of no one has seen me and lived.

Nothing against the Christian faith, but you realize those books are thousands of years old, and have been translated dozens of times from ancient languages that don't even exist anymore, and each translator interprets things differently and adds things.

It wouldn't surprise me if the original texts were nothing like what modern bibles actually are. And that goes for all faiths.

One example which TVTropes goes into more detail about is how the earlier figures for some reason lived to 700-800 years old, when thats actually a mistranslation of 700-800 months.

A lot of people on the Bible see visions that could have been drug trips. I remember 1 guy sees a chariot of fire in the sky. Another guy I think sees a ladder going up into heaven and a bunch of angels looking down at him or something

That's what's crazy is that it changes but stays the same. Truly a living miracle. Dead sea scrolls were discovered like during modern times.

Which was in a language similar but not identical to a language we know.... ergo, mistranslations.

I mean what is language, if we can identify the mistranslations then who cares.

The important stuff wasnt probably changed that drastically.

Are you being serious right now? Mistranslations and grammatical errors can mean the difference between life and death. There's the old Animaniacs bit of the difference between "Let's eat Grandma!", and Let's eat, Grandma!". Simple things like that can alter the perception of what is being said/written. Then you have to take into account meanings in different cultures. Case in point, Chestnuts mean something completely different in Bolivia and Brazil.

My point is, context matters. A simple translation error can be the difference of "A shepherd walking through his field with his sheep" and "A shepherd walking along his field near his sheep". I digress, it really isn't that big of a deal. Just pointing out that we run into simple translation issues with just 2 versions of a book, now imagine something that has been dragged through 15 different iterations in multiple languages.

I'm not a religious person. I wouldn't be able to tell you that. I can just use what I know about most word of mouth studies. You have 2 people experiencing the same 2 events at the same time. Both people are going to experience the same event, but based on location and surroundings things will be slightly different in how they are experienced.

In written context, your transcribing a very old book and not everything is going to be a 1 to 1 translation. So it gets translated from Hebrew to Greek. There is obviously going to be a language barrier at that point. It wasn't translated to English until some time during the late 1400s/early 1500s, so by that time I'm sure there were at least 4-5 other iterations.

Again, I'm just pointing out the natural degradation and discrepancy of language over a period of time, not the meaning of God or religion. To me, its very unlikely that what we read today is close to the original version. I may be wrong, I'll gladly be wrong.

i think the core message stayed the same

i mean yeah its a collection of books
and like the old testament sorta like works as a blueprint for the new one
paving the way to Jesus

thats what makes the book so amazing
the pro of Christianity is you don't have to read it in the original language
like The Quran.

ok lets get back to funny stuff again
