You don't have to experience drug addiction to know that it is bad, you know

Adam and Eve are good because they already know that something is bad and chooses to avoid it

Evil happens when it is done with a full conscience.
I mean, you know it is bad.
You know that it will lead to bad results
But you did it anyway.

That is what Sin is - the awareness.
The knowledge of the Truth comes with the responsibility to live by it

I'll give you a solid answer:
IT'S NOT

Only the Hebrews were obsessed with it because that's where Abraham was told to stay firm and wait for the Messiah
After the Destruction of the Temple, it was pretty much gone and done

Christianity sees Israel as the birth place of Jesus, but it is not necessary for the faith
It was so completely irrelevant that the Patiarch of the East is in Antioch rather than Judea
And the Pope is in Rome where Peter is buried

Israel was NEVER relevant well until the Crusades came. It portrayed itself as a Holy War to retake the Holy Land, but, in reality, it was a push against the Islamic horde that they repainted as a Holy War for propaganda reasons

After the Crusades, it was never relevant against until the USA made it relevant
They handed it over to the Jews because they believed that they were fulfilling some sort of divine prophecy. It was all evangelistic and protestant nonsense

This is God's judgement to the Caanites who were given over 800 years to repent
They were first mentioned in Genesis wherein Abraham was forbidden from entering the Promised land because the sins of the Caanites have not year reached its peak

Abraham's lineage became nomads for 400 years, and enslaved for 400 years more.

And still, they Caanites refused to repent
Thereby proving that their seed was corrupted to the core

At that point, they are more animals than humans and it is necessary to get rid of them
Note that this doesn't necessarily mean that they went to hell. Legit mental illness is not a black and white issue

This is the same case with Sodom and Gommorah. Except God used Abraham's children as instruments of his wraths

This is not rape.
Deutoronomy has laws for desired captive women.
They are to be shaved, given new clothing, fed, housed, and given a whole month to mourn her loss after which, you may *Marry* her.
Which means that she is not a slave. She is entitled to your fortune.

"Keep alive for yourselves" in this verse mean "adoption"

The girls are adopted but the boys are killed because, like it or not, male DNA is more dominant than the female. While your DNA is 49% dad and 51% mom, the dad's DNA would always win in areas where there is a conflict

And since their seed was corrupted, this is the best that God can do

Sodom was a nuke
This was a precision strike

There's a $1M reward to anyone who can replicate its properties (x-ray image, 3D image, exhibits UV fluorescence, etc) using 13'th century tools

Go and prove your claim

Spoiler alert:
It's IMPOSSIBLE
The image does not penetrate past 2microfibers. This is completely impossible to attain even with modern lasers. And it has no burn

No. It's literally Evangelists and other Protestant denominations who were convinced that it is God's plan

Doesn't matter what denomination
Sola Scriptura means no interpretation is wrong. And boy, are you guys so so wrong

Every single pagan god demanded blood. Be it in the form of human sacrifice, suicide, or sacred prostitution.
All of them seek nothing but the befoulment of the gift of life. Nothing but demons in disguise

The fact that he is giving us over 2000 years to prepare is a good thing
Once he arrives, no more chance to repent

>>280740186
That is false

Divine forgiveness is reserved exclusively for humans. This is because Angels have no moment of weakness - their decisions are made with absolute certainty and they are absolutely aware of its consequences.
Every information is given to them and therefore they are incapable of regret

Same reason applies as to why "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven"

If you know the Truth, but decided to reject it, the question would be "why"
The answer justifies your damnation. For eternity

I am not saying that it was a good thing. I am saying that Hollywood completely exaggerated it.

Most Inqusitors are there only as lawyers and attorneys. The punishment is solely under the jurisdiction of the crown.

To start with, the point of Inquisitors is not to hunt witches but to hunt jews pretending to be Christians to obtain government roles and endanger both the Spanish people and the crown.
Look around you and tell me that we don't need an Inquisition right now

Tantalus was about betraying the gods
And no, they found headless corpses in Zeus' temples, so no. They never rejected it

I can give you Zoroastrianism as I don't know much about it

No, Buddist self-mummification was found in Japan. India, China, and Himalayas

You can name whatever veggie peace culture you want. In end, their practices will speak for itself. Both Shinto and Tao had evidences of burying people alive and cannibalism.

>christianity included
Christianity is NOT peaceful
Our duty is to spread his word. Whether they accept it or reject it is up to them

>>17839113
If your lineage was given a thousand years to repent, but didn't. Then your seed is corrupted to the core.
As such, in God's eyes, he is merely preventing Baby Hitler

Note: The fact that you were killed for your corrupted seed doesn't mean that you will end up in hell, though
God can see your soul and this is what he will judge you with
