A quite disturbing absurdity in Christianity

A quite disturbing absurdity in Christianity
Well, throughout the hebrew bible, God never annouce that He'll send a son, nor does He absolutely talk about his so-called trinitarian nature. But then Jesus came and taught otherwise. I think that Christianity is false enough by being in contradiction of hte hebrew Scriptures. How could Jesus hold these texts as true and contradict them. Despite he preserves the unicity of God, he also challanges reason by claiming something completely foreign to Scriptures. Are christians blind or brainless or something ?

Eh, Christians only focus on the things in the bible that they WANT to focus on. If it isn't that then they claim that the things people take literal aren't to be taken as such and that the script in the bible is used for analogies for other things.

Facepalm

Jesus never taught the Trinity. That became orthodox dogma with the Council of Nicaea.

And prior to the Hebrews Yahweh was a lesser god in the divine family of the Canaanite pantheon. So yes, Christianity is false, but so is the Hebrew religion and all polytheism and monotheism for that matter.

Obviously the Bible is just some hebrew carpenter's fanfic that got out of control. Big Grin

The English wrote the Bible as an elaborate joke. They got away with it because people continue to make up all kinds of things about it. Hardly anyone who has a copy of it reads it beyond a verse or two once in a while.

WE have long understood that the Xtian religions (And there are thousands of them) are based on a cafeteria style of reading the bible - accepting some points but not others - when it suits the people who give the money.

Many xtian sects do not accept most of the Jewish Tanakh (Old Testament) - and they simply say it is too old to be relevant. Except when - of course - they need something from there to justify their positions - then they take out of context.

The thing about fiction is that the sequel doesn't always follow the original, it bothers me as shit.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

The Spirit is mentioned in the very first chapter of the bible, hovering over the waters, and elsewhere in the old testament. Jesus appears numeous times in his preincarnate state in the old testament where he was often referred to as the "angel of the lord." In the old testament God promised that he would send a messiah, and Jesus was the fulfillment of that promise. Jesus stated that he and the father are one. After taking all references to God into account, the church officially recognized the doctrine of one God existing in three persons when they came together for a council.
