Bible literalists never want to interpret this verse literally for some weird reason.
>>
>>25157850
What does it mean if interpreted literally?
>>
>>25157856
It means humans were on track to grow beyond YHWH's control, which implies that he is not actually all powerful.
>>
>>25157862

Or his all powerfulness and omnipotence include the possibility of being that which he is not

Duh anon
>>
>>25157850
please go back to /his/ and stay gone. /lit/ isn't your atheist vs tradlarper shitting ground.
>>
>>25157870
If I was an atheist I wouldn't care what the Bible said because I would think YHWH doesn't exist. I believe he exists. I think he lies about who/what he is though.
>>
>>25157870

STINKY in here

>Difficulty: Impossible
If there were an omnipotent god that has the potential to be anything then why would you worship any specific god, when all gods would be aspects of the omnipotent god?
And specifically why one as grotesque as the god of abraham?
I can only assume there is some rampant strain of masochism built into much of the human genome that's allowed this wretched condition to perpetuate.
>>
>>25159136
>an omnipotent god is bound by the logic games of a late language in a universe he created
how many inches wide is god
>>
>>25159471
He is presumably wider than Moses but still small enough for Job to wrestle

You’re all reading the wrong version to begin with.
Read pic related.

Brainlet interpretation. That implies that man can ever plan to be greater than God.

are you genuinely retarded lol
i swear, the shit I read on this board sometimes
>>
Gnostic schizos make me SICK
>>
>>25159136
it's a bit weird to call the god of abraham grotesque while using such disgusting language and imagery yourself
>>
>>25159567
His worldview echoes his soul, naturally.
>>
>>25157850
Biblical literalism has never meant that the text cannot use literary devices. To put it simply, it means that something should be taken literally unless there's a reason within the text that it shouldn't be. You can get into the weeds with the details, but that's the gist of it.
>>
>>25157850


I. THERE IS NOTHING TO INTERPRET; THE VERSICLE IS EXPLICIT AND NOT METAPHORICAL.

II. THIS THREAD IS OFF TOPIC.
>>
But why get mad at the fig tree?

Man. You’ve always been a buzzkill

A bit weird of you to pretend to morality and quality of soul while you worship a demon of mutilation, because you're afraid to say no-no words
>>
>>25157862
what kind of god would tell you they were the only real god?

a false god

Hi anon, I'm the one you originally responded to coming to check out the mess I made

I'm not a christfag, but you seem to be horribly upset. I was only responding to the generally agreed upon consensus that God is omnipotent and is everything, so naturally he is going to be things that people will be upset with and will associate with a lessening of his status as God.

It's just common sense silly anon

God never should have allowed the Industrial Revolution.

I long for the day when the world will be rid of this nonsense.
>>
>>25160621
*monarch remembered that*
>>
>>25160626

no you don't. trust me i've seen it
if you think it's bad now (and it's not, you just can't ignore other people's irritating interests and qualities), it gets way worse when there is no sense of "other"
>>
>>25160627

Trade me hats
>>
>>25160628
To which nonsense do you think I am referring?
>>
>>25160631
Choke on your upchucked innards.
>>
>>25160634

apply what i've said to your reference
>>
>>25160636

A few more comments and I'll be climbing up onto the cross
>>
>>25160638
You do realize what this is, don't you?
>>
>>25160641
And you can hammer the nails yourself! You've earned it faggot.
>>
>>25160612
two things can be true at once, retard
>>
>>25160646

You'll have to do the second hand

THE MINUTE HAND THE MINUTE HAND
NOT QUITE
MY SECOND HAND

pardon me
>>
>>25160655
When did I claim otherwise?
>>
>>25160657
You'll figure out a way to do both. Don't forget your feet.
>>
You don't even have to go that far in Genesis to see that the dude is certainly not omniscient: Genesis 3:9 "Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"
>>
>>25160658
should've known /lit/fags would be too autistic for that one
>>
>Land of Milk and Honey
Ah such an eloquent extended metaphor, His disciples were truly inspired in sharing the word of the Lord
>Fire and Brimstone
He meant the fire dimension and you’re going there forever if you don’t clean up this room!

What is the sound of one hand clapping

Asking someone if they did something does not mean that you don't know that they did it.

>>25160672
Why does anyone respect a god who was "pretending to be retarded"
>>
>>25160687
Keep stoking those flames, rodent.

It falls on your head.

It's not that nothing would be impossible for them, but that they would have actually believed it as they began to build the tower as one people speaking the same language, paving the way to unspeakable wretchedness.

Have you ever been slightly peckish at midnight? Then you go to the pantry for some food. But there is no snacks because you didn't buy any.
I would certainly curse the fig tree.
