If Jesus thought to himself "Man, I'm such a good person, and Satan? He's such a bad person" do you think he would then think, "I wish I could give him some of my goodness so that we could both be on equal footing as morally neutral agents"? Fuck no he wouldn't think that. He would say everyone has to earn their way up the moral ladder through being a good person. For this reason, Christians should be completely opposed to redistributive policies of any kind. I don't get to sit at the right hand of God next to Jesus just because he came to save us. Jesus will probably always be ahead of me spiritually, if spiritual growth is anything like financial growth.So we should have not even a flat percentage tax, we should have a flat dollar amount tax.
>>17314035But God literally allows Satan to "test" Mortals , if He wanted Satan gone Satan would be gone
>>17314035But all believers are equal in Jesus's eye though; "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" mean anything to you? Most inequality is due to historical and current legal discrimination and sinful ethnic partiality(i.e ethnic minorities with the same qualifications routinely get discriminated in hiring). If you don't like welfare and economic redistribution because it doesn't fix inequality, that's an argument but if your against it due to a belief in a made up hierarchy then I'm afraid you must have to work on yourself.
>>17314035>I wish I could give him some of my goodnessWhat the fuck does this even mean? "Goodness" is not some transferable property like transfering money from one bank account to another.
"A hand is not a foot"Jesus does not believe in equality or inequalityHe believes in different, but equally important roles.A doctor and a garbage man both do important labor. The reason why you think that one is more important than the other is because you can see that scarcity creates a higher salary and creates the illusion that it is more valuable.It is not a wrong perception, for a humanBut in the eyes of God, that's just saying that one gear in an analog clock is more important because it is bigger. No. One gear gone and it can no longer work as originally intended.
>>17314061we would live in an even more hierarchical society if it was based on merit. redistributive policies are anti-merit. The entire democratic party is anti-merit. someone with a room temperature IQ shouldn't be the Vice President regardless of skin color, but she is *specifically because she's not white*. I won't say more on the subject outside of /pol/ because I'll get banned but I'll just say I agree with the far right on this.>>17314069but if it WERE would he surrender some of it to Satan to help him out? Doubt it.>>17314084But you can get a hip replacement but not a brain replacement. Actually for some reason you can replace a part of your brain with a chip... I don't really get it. But I think there is a hierarchy of beings based on how good they are. Think about the hierarchy of angels. Hinduism, Chinese folk religion, and Shinto see divinity as hierarchical as well. Didn't the angel tell John not to worship him and to worship Jesus instead, implying that Jesus was above the angel? Isn't it taught in the Catholic Church (the biggest denomination) that based on your goodness/merit in life you will be given a rank in Heaven? When I advocate for hierarchies I'm not saying "steal from the poor to give to the rich". I'm saying I think Jesus would say "don't steal from the rich to give to the poor", arguing that if the rich didn't steal their money, they shouldn't have it stolen from them.
>>17314229>but if it WEREIt's not, stop wasting your time thinking about retarded hypotheticals.
>>17314229Your idea of "heirarchy" only exists in the perspective of a mortal. Your are finite, your vision is limited, and you live only in the presentGod's perspective is infinite. No present, no past, no future. Just eternity, Souls, being made in his image, were made to be eternal like him.As such, there is no such thing as "replacement"Every single piece was crafted with infinite love and not one will ever be replaced. For in order to replace something, is to declare that it was never infinite in the first place.You cannot replace something that has no limits like the soul.Each and every single piece is vital for God's plan and he mourns every soul who decides to turn from him
>>17314041God allows Satan to exist because, from the start, he gifted him the authority to lead alongside himGod will never take back his giftsAs such, Satan is still technically ruling over all of God's creation, albeit in opposition to his maker. And he will continue to do so until his shift is doneOnce the time is up, he will be judged
>>17314250ah, christcuck henati coomerism, my favorite branch. the animu whore with a devil's name is just the icing on the cake
>>17314953I have evidence that Christian religion is totes legit.In 2008 I became a gnostic. I'm a mage, you see, and I have been proper identifying magical attac incoming from the Christian church 24/7 since 2008.The true source ov bratherly luv.
>>17314035Christians are such pathetic bootlickers that right-wing leaders in non-Christian countries actually try to build up Christian communities as supporters. It's why Abe got shot.
You all got memed by a psyop.You'll want to unlearn monotheism, and get clear of that meme.In conclusion, kill -9 all religion threads.
>>17314243How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
>>17314243actually I just thought of two ways Jesus would believe in an hierarchy instead of communism. You know how people have treasures in Heaven? Some people will have fewer treasures in Heaven and some people will have much more, according to Catholic theology, at least. Second, remember when the woman touched Jesus' cloak and "power came out of him" and Jesus was mad? Why didn't Jesus just give this magical power away to everybody until everyone had an equal amount including him? Because he believes hierarchies are good and everyone deserves to be at the place they've earned.

>>17314035>I bet xSo you don't know. Shut the fuck up then.
>>17315860Yes let me just speak with complete certainty about a man who lived 2000 years ago whose words were written down 80 years after he died in another language and let's forget about those other gospels that are confusing and weird. You know most Bible scholars believe three of the four NT gospels were written by the same person?
