Why is God so concerned with mutilating children's penises? There was really no other way he could have symbolized his covenant with Abraham?
>>18544780The earliest representation of the Cross (and most likely what execution crosses actually looked like) was idential to the Greek letter tau, or "T"
>>18544781So why does God need his people to cut the skin off of babies penises?
>>18544787Stop making threads asking question that are always answered by "God has a personality", you think it's weird, God doesn't, it's literally that simple, God has existed before you, therefore you have spawned in a creation made by a being with their own personality that differs greatly from yours, God has said/done many things, this doesn't disprove his existence.
>>18544805why is he obsessed with foreskins (and their removal) doe
>>18544805>I don't know why shut up the reason doesn't matter worship the penis blood god
>>18544808Why are you so obsessed with foreskin? Do you enjoy munching on them?
>>18544808PERSONALITY>>18544810If the penis blood God is the God of this world, as described in the very literature this thread is about (therefore the discussion is about this God), then the very fundamentals of this creation are from this creator, what choice do you have if they demand worship like a brute ?
Was god always circumcised?
>>18544814Maybe he's lying and isn't actually the creator. Have you considered that?
>>18544780he will kill over forskin cutting . He was about to kill his boy Moses. Forskins are serious business for YHWH
What's with christards treating presupposition as a remotely sensible or viable approach all of a sudden? You never used to see that shit, but now it's basically all that any of them do.
>>18544780The Semites probably used to perform child sacrifice, but Egypt, the Levant and the Euphrat-Tigris Empires did not seem to have had the habit. I'd assume that the Semites incorporated into those Empires eventually offered foreskins instead of getting once again clapped over burning infants alive. The Semites in North Africa probably never dropped the ancient practice until their polity got clapped by the Romans.
>>18544780To weed out the weak pussies.
>>18544811No, that's literally God, and we want to know why.
>>18545845The coward is not worthy of serving God. Cowardice is a sin.Revelation 21:8>But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death
>>18545702Why would an omniscient being need to "weed out" anything? christniggers are so stupid
>>18545647And this is after God told Moses to go to Egypt btw. Just a random fit out of nowhere.
>>18545881Because he knows you're a piece of shit inside your heart
>>185456552026 theist apologetics is just how far they can take the LARP with sophisms.
>>18545879OK, but why is God obsessed with mutilating children's penises?
>>18545883If he already knew that why would he need to "weed me out"? I don't think you understand what I'm asking. It's ok don't feel bad, I'm used to arguing with retards about this very topic
>>18546055If you repent he would accept you but you're shitty and he doesn't want to accept you so he hardens your heart so you don't repent.
>>18546062Hmm that wasn't an answer to the question I asked you.
>>18546067No answer will satisfy your rock hard heart.You were made to not understand.
>>18546074>You were made to not understand.What a good, loving, benevolent god, making people for the express purpose of sending them to hell to be tortured for eternity with literally 0 hope for salvation, when he could have just not made them in the first place. Your god is hideously evil. Literally the most evil character in all of literature
>>18546093You spend all day attacking him, hating him, insulting him, mocking him, ridiculing his worshippers and expect mercy from him. You're just retarded.
>>18546180>You spend all day attacking him, hating him, insulting him, mocking him, ridiculing his worshippersYep>and expect mercy from him.No I don't. I attack him and ridicule his worshipers because I think he's evil.
If the cube is a cage, the cross is that cage after it has been exploded from the inside and the prisoner is set free.The six sides of the cube all laid low, reduced.That is why Jesus came into the world.
>>18546247Why did Jesus say to keep the commandments (law) then?
>>18546196Then hell is what you deserve. You can cry all you want but God will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he eanddjfht and you were wrong in front of the whole universe.
>>18546259ahhh so loving, so benevolent
>>18544781If you're a schizo, just move the top square in the net to the bottom. It still folds up into a cube.
>>18544780CIRCUMCISION IN CHILDREN PERMANENTLY ALTERS NEUROLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT; A CIRCUMCISED CHILD WILL DEVELOP GREATER TOLERANCE FOR STRESS, GREATER TOLERANCE FOR PAIN, WILL BE MORE CUNNING, WILL BE MORE ADAPTABLE TO MUTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES.GOD KNEW WHAT THE PEOPLE OF ABRAHAM WOULD GO THROUGH IN FOLLOWING CENTURIES, THEREFORE, HE ORDERED ABRAHAM TO INSTITUTE CIRCUMCISION SO THAT THEY COULD SURVIVE AND OVERCOME ALL THE TRIBULATIONS OF THE FUTURE.
>>18544780It's because of the Polysemy of מילהIn Hebrew, the word for circumcision is "מילה" (pronounced "mila").In Hebrew, the word for "word" is "מילה" (pronounced milah). The covenent is language/words, not cutting your dick. Rote learners ignore this and keep cutting their dicks like Shechem.
>>18546093> sending them to hell to be tortured for eternity with literally 0 hope for salvation, when he could have just not made them in the first place. That would mean robbing humanity of free will. Which is contrary to his goals for humanity.
>>18546414>That would mean robbing humanity of free willPeople already don't have free will if he knows from the beginning who will be saved and who won't (predestined). It's crazy how we can just go in circles over and over and over and you will never get it. I don't even feel like I am speaking to a real person.
>>18544780In the Ancient Middle East it was common practice for kings, nobles, and priests to be circumcised to mark themselves as divine and holy. By making circumcision mandatory in the OT covenants, God was marking his followers as special before the gentiles and making it known his plans for them.
>>18546416>It's crazy how we can just go in circles over and over and over and you will never get it. I don't even feel like I am speaking to a real person.Because you're stupid and you think that people must agree with you with predestination, which is technically called double-predestination by your definition. No one believes this outside of Calvinism and Prots who follow Calvin, because the logic and evidence makes absolutely no sense. If everything was predestined and humanity had no free will, then there's zero incentive to follow Gods laws and commandments, and participate in ones own salvation. There are greater events that are predestined, but not everything is set in stone; all throughout the Bible, God changes his mind, pivots another direction, and withholds judgement due to the actions of humanity. So the idea that people don't have free will and those who are to be saved are already chosen, isn't supported by biblical evidence.
>>18546436Calvinism is the only brand of Christianity that correctly conceptualizes what an omniscient all powerful being would be like
>>18546436>So the idea that people don't have free will and those who are to be saved are already chosen, isn't supported by biblical evidence.Christians actually read the Bible challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
>>18546438Calvinism doesn't even have the doctrine of synergism, so that itself disproves this assertion. >>18546440If you actually understood mainline orthodox Christianity you'd know that churches aren't formed from a single bible verse.
>>18545647Lmao I unironically love basedjaks
