I've never thought I'd get to this point, but between Christians in America justifying mass murder of innocents over seas and unhinged bible verses that I've been reading, it feels like being lied too.
One example being 2 bears mauling a group of children for mocking Elijah for being bald. Sure, if it's God's will, then who is anyone to question. But to a normal human, does that not seem excessive to anyone else? They called him bald and laughed, then we're deserving of a painful death? Then you look online for clarification where other Christians are arguing about "context".
>well actually, children meant 15 years old!
As if that makes it any less gruesome.
Another verse in the bible is about Israelites shouting and singing about smashing babies' heads on rocks.
This stuff doesn't disturb anyone else?

I've never read the Bible because somebody spoiled the ending for me

If only someone had warned us wavering Christians that it wasn't going to be easy. Seems like everyone is 2 vs 3 and we feel outnumbered even in our own homes. Like if only someone said that we were going to be mocked and persecuted and killed-- anything just a head's up would have been nice, am I right fellow retard?

>>511279780
Christians are currently justifying mass murder. They did the same thing in Iraq.

you mean you didn't start questioning cuckstianity when yabbi yeshua never returned, despite telling his disciples that he'd return in their lifetimes?

>>511279909
If only we had followed the desert prophet with his penis in a child, maybe things would be different. If only we had all become communists after the slaughter of the royal children. Such a hard decision to make. Wouldn't it be great if we all just went back to sacrificing animals to get on God's good side and roasting children on holiday's? Boy, that Jesus really was a party pooper.

Christianity only makes sense to me if it's non literal, but the majority take it literally.

>>511279095 (OP)
Repent.

You know what OP? Deep in my soul, and not to meme on the internet - I say fuck those kids that mocked Elijah.

And on a side note, haven't you ever lived in a poor area? Kids that just run wild can be an actual menace. It's not because they are evil or whatever, sometimes they'll antagonize adults because they're neglected by their own parent and they are starved for attention. Speaking from experience here.

Also here's a search of the word "tare" in the OT. Just that one match in 2 Samuel 13:31. So we can be pretty sure it just means tear/tore and not killed. (as there is plenty of killing in the bible).

So some kids got torn up.

That was Elisha. A few things to consider:

. It was ultimately the fathers' fault for raising their children like animals.

. God did not command Elisha to do this. That was his decision, but God honored the curse in order to assert Elisha's authority with God before the people who had ceased to fear Him.

. God declares children innocent so they went straight to heaven to be with Him.

>>511279095 (OP)
That’s why you need the one, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church to interpret it for you.

>>511285062
Let's also not forget that God knew the men those children would become if they lived. Seems likely he knew that if they didn't die there, then they would grow up to unrepentant sinners. Better to lose your life than your soul.

>God declares children innocent so they went straight to heaven to be with Him.

No. The church fathers clearly state that children can be damned. Based on these children's behavior they were likely already of a reprobate mind and would have grown up to be rapists, bandits, and thieves. God simply got rid of them as biological and spiritual waste by allowing them in their presumption to challenge his holy prophet.

A few things to consider:

. Jews fetishize the suffering of children

. God did not command jews to write this book. That was their father, the devil, whom they have ALWAYS and CONTINUE TO sacrifice children to.

. God declares jews evil so anyone who takes the OT at face value is going to hell.

. The church is corrupt and twisted faded memories of the word of christ for political gain.

Correct.

what a good, self-corrective passage to put into the teachings of a cult:
>people will try to tell you that you're in a cult, do not listen to them, or the grand poobah will thrown you into the magic underground volcano
God is real, yahweh is not

>>511285449
If that's what the church fathers taught, the church fathers were retarded. That's not the God of the bible:

Children declared innocent by God.

“And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.” (Psalms 106:38)

“Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.” (Deuteronomy 1:39)

Children going to a place of rest upon death.

“But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” (2 Samuel 12:23)

God's clear admonition not to mess with them.

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” (Mark 9:42)

Classic jewish projection. Every single time.

>>511279095 (OP)
YHWH is a god of domination who made a pact with the Jews for world domination. He aids them in their spiritual control of the world and pulls strings and in return they offer him loyalty and sacrifice. It’s how all religions worked prior to the modern west (although we still practice charitable giving and tithes as offering). YHWH wants to be the sole God of this world and usurp creation itself. His master-stroke is Armageddon, which is a cataclysmic event that will destroy a majority of humanity as a sacrifice to cement his rule of the physical reality permanently. After this time the Jewish Messiah comes and rules the world on YHWH’s behalf and goyim are slaves to his people forever, and are punished for even thinking incorrectly or looking into the eye of a Jew. This is the story posited by the Old Testament and what Jews believe everything is leading up to. Christianity started as a separate sect but branched out to the goyim, and then Europeans adopted it and replaces all of their native gods and mythology with Jewish myths, causing total mental control since an early age.
Jesus is an answer to this cruelty, but it can be argued it’s a “carrot and stick” routine
