Old Testament:>God, KILL ALL MY NIGGER ENEMIES AND THEIR CHILDREN and I will worship you forever New Testament:>We should be merciful to our persecutors >Not a contradiction>Same GodHow do you reconcile this?
>>24788891Just schizo desert jew things
>>24788891There's no way to reconcile it, christards have been coping for almost 2 millennia now.
>>24788891In OT all humans are under the death penalty/ God's curse. The point of NT is changing it.
>>24788902This. End of thread.
>>24788891I'm only human, God's nature is beyond me.
>>24788891Jesus delivers new plans from God
>>24788891Ancient near east was brutal and compromises were made Matthew 19:8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.
>>24788891Samson mogs everyone in old testament except God

I know next to nothing about Christianity in general, but isn't that like....the entire point of Jesus' death? The forming of a new covenant with god?
>>24788966Yes. Also, during the Old Testament, God was civilizing a tribe of desert raiders contemporary to the godlike Argives of the Iliad, who were basically cattle robbers.They wouldn't take Jesus' message well at the time.
>>24788902So he was merciless, sent himself to earth to change divine laws he knew would be changed by himself...
>>24788966>>24788977
>>24789005Picrel must've been made by a braindead muslim who thinks Mary is apart of the Godhead lmao
>>24788891Killing your enemies is merciful.
>>24788899This, it's a constant cycle of "well ackshually" and gentiles trying to make a desert tribal diety make sense
It's character development
What is so difficult to understand about a new testament?
>>24788891New Testament God is infinitely worse than the Old because Old Testament God just killed you, New Testament God sends you to Hell to suffer unimaginable pain for all eternity
Anyone else found it a bit bizarre how god goes from creating everything to suddenly going up to this random ass dude to give him everything if he slices his cock up? Why does such an almighty and powerful god suddenly start picking favorites and demanding genital mutilation?
>>24788891>How do you reconcile this?God allowed an illiterate failed merchant to write the greatest poetry known to man. PBUH.
>>24788891Roman (pagan) priests didn't read it that closely. They destroyed all the Greek intellectual books that did make sense of it.All Abrahamic faith is so clearly, obviously, fucktardedly false.
>>24788891Of course they're the same God, and this means that Christianity cannot be pacifist. Not strictly pacifist, anyway. A proper reading of the Bible and understanding of the Faith allows room for violence, especially in defense of the poor, the weak, the mistreated, and your brothers and sisters in Christ.Even Jesus Himself puts violence on the table.>He said to them, “When I sent you forth without a money bag or a sack or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied. He said to them, “But now one who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a sack, and one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, namely, ‘He was counted among the wicked’; and indeed what is written about me is coming to fulfillment.”>Then they said, “Lord, look, there are two swords here.” But he replied, “It is enough!”
>>24788891>>>/his/Theologyfag
>>24788891You can't, the Jewish way was clearly hijacked. Jews jewing Jews if you will.
>>24789638because he wasn't almighty, he was just one bitch god in a whole pantheon but he needed followers to level up his power.
>>24788891From what I understood: Mankind chose a path out of Paradise (back then, Adam and Eve). So a People was chosen by God to use them to guide mankind back to Paradise. With Jesus, anyone could then chose salvation go to that Paradise.But I'm just some anon; ask a priest.
>>24788891The jews were to do as commanded as God's chosen people but they flubbed it now God has made the people who follow him his new chosen people. Jews were to take move in on their enemies' land and not intermingle as not to be driven away from God but they did so God basically said "screw it" and sent Jesus the Messiah, a perfect man yet still killed by the Jews as not being what they wanted. In doing so, Christ became the sacrificial lamb foretold in the OT's passover and Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac and redeemed the world paying for everybody's sins as long as you believe in him.>>24788940/thread
>>24788891God presents himself differently to different beings differently depending on their nature and context.
>>24789638Because uncut dicks are fucking nasty. All the arguments in the world won't unuglify them.
>>24788891>Same GodRetconnned headcanon. In all reality, there's probably almost nothing of Jesus' actual teachings and words in the New Testament and most of it is retconned headcanon by the "church fathers" to lend it legitimacy and convert Jews.
>>24790028Sounds pretty gay
>>24788891The Israelite tribe needed to be preserved at all costs against the ungodly hordes so that God could eventually have a flesh vessal of his own as Jesus. Keep in mind, if the hebrews were slacking in any way on their tasks YHWH would punish them far more severely also>deuteronomy 28
