lol some are not ready to hear
>>41054831honestly if you've ever been on a plane with a baby then this passage makes sense
>>41054831Saint Augustine:>What are the little ones of Babylon? Evil desires at their birth. For there are, who have to fight with inveterate lusts. When lust is born, before evil habit giveth it strength against thee, when lust is little, by no means let it gain the strength of evil habit; when it is little, dash it. But thou fearest, lest though dashed it die not; "Dash it against the Rock; and that Rock is Christ."https://catenabible.com/com/5851ccbf9ac03ecd4b8e6743Hylic literalists utterly humiliated YET AGAIN. I almost feel sorry for them at this point.
>>41055197Or maybe it's just about killing the children of your enemy, and Christcucks need to do mental gymnastics to justify this verse in light of their "loving" messiah. Maybe Marcion is right? How can God incarnate say that the "little ones" are most treasured and good in the Gospels, yet via divine inspiration, inspire the Psalmists to chant about killing Babylonian children? Either the the God of the bible is evil, there are two separate deities, or it's all bullshit.
>>41054831Now read the whole chapter. It's a prayer of suffering where Israel is mourning and requesting God enact vengeance in accordance to what was done to Israel.
>>41056255Because those babylonian children are not children of God. And children back then arent how children are today. They were looked down on and treated with contempt which is why the Disciples tried to keep the kids away from Jesus, because back then there was no public education and odds are kids looked around for trouble to get into. And that's not even getting into the fact that again, back then kids were different. Some were expected to fight wars amongst full grown adults. And you can't let the fact that there's a kid fighting in your opposing army to let your guard down, because it's war.But I'm sure you know all about this already and have taken it into consideration.
>>41056351What you think you sound like: some intelligent shit.What you actually sound like: blah blah blah blah blah braaaaaaaaaap,Get real, faggot.
>>41056370I genuinely wonder if this post was done in irony/satire, or if you're really this stupid.
>>41056388He posted a wojak, do you really think he has self awareness?
>>41056408I mean, I have a few saved that I find funny. I'd be a hypocrite to agree with you lol.
>>41056255You sound like a Talmudist. Clinging to the letters, totally estranged from the Spirit.
it's in the old testament which tells about god's holy covenant with the jews, it does not represent the current god as his holy covenant is with christians and we are operating on a whole different rule set than the jews did.
>>41056388Ah yes, I'm the stupid one because I interpret a verse lamenting the Babylonian conquest of Judah as it should be, and not as some hurr durr evil spirit being destroyed bullshit. This verse clearly says that those who kill Babylonian children would be pleased, since the Babylonians devastated Judah. If anything, my interpretation is clear and makes more logical sense than whatever bullshit you are Augustine have to say on this matter.>>41056351"Little ones" would not be in combat. Are you saying it's okay to kill disbelieving children?
>>41056388This is your brain on Christcuckery and Judaism - defending the slaughter of children. Abrahamism -- not even once!
