When did we stop associating witches with ugly hags and began imagining them as cute girls with hats instead?
>>41264527ever since people began re-interpreting lucifer as a badass liberator instead of the malevolent trickster he is.the modern world think that being contrarian is based, it's not.
>>41264527Why not both?
>>41264541Lucifer was never a trickster. He is a toy that God created to fuck over, dude. The guy is just a victim in the plan of some megalomaniac
>>41265091James 1:13: "No one experiencing temptation should say, 'I am being tempted by God.' For God is not subject to temptation to evil, and he himself tempts no one."
>>41264527Since Japanese anime got popular. Picrel is Nero looking too cute to be the antichrist.
>>41265469You Christians are freaking retardedThat thing was written by some schizophrenic in the desert and then rewritten by a bunch of child molesters lmao
>>41265469It's good to split off a malicious part from the all-pervading all-powerful force, makes for great mental gymnastics
>>41265469Then why does the Lord’s Prayer ask God not to tempt us to evil? Jesus prayed that one himself. Also in Isaiah it says that God creates good and evil.
>>41265711You should try to be less harsh here. Most Christians were indoctrinated from a very early age and thus it’s hard to think critically about it all especially since they always seemed to have an answer for any objection.
>>41265091Then why do pranks and prank calls open doors for demons? I was tricked by whom I think was the devil himself so I will have to disagree with you’re claim.
>>41265711>Christian's are retarded >believes in fanfiction from Christian books
>>41265847 Talking about a character from a book doesn't mean that I believe in it.
>>41264527Apology for warcrimes and stifling society by trying to make the occult and Paganism taboo.
>>41265986So you decide that the story isnt what the story explicitly tells you it is and instead make a head cannon about the evil guy being le good and misunderstood and how everyone should show him some love Are you from tumblr Do you draw every male charecter having impassioned gay sex Are you a woman or a gay man
>>41266074I write for DC, evil superman in Injustice? KINO
>>41266074Huh? I have something called critical thinking. I don't need the book to tell me everything. I can tell it myself.
>>41266257>"I have something called critical thinking">completely misses the point
>>41266074I'm reading a fanfic with a Mary Sue. Everyone in the story and the narrator sucks off the Mary Sue and it's very inconsistent. I, with my reading skills, look at the actions done by Sue within the story and say that she suck.
>>41266455By what metric
>>41266577BY any kind of metric you can think ofGod's a complete piece of shit. Every character in the Bible is pretty much a victim of a big ass baby.Satan tempting Eve? Why was there a tree there in the first place? Why was the shit forbidden? Why would God create a being that he knew could do such a thing and allow it in the Garden if not for the story to unfold the way he wants? Absolute fucking nigger Christian tranny
>Lily's WellBased
>>41265821No it says "lead us not into temptation". I know youre trying your hardest here to prove it wrong but thats not how debates or inquiry works. The most charitable interpretation is the route you take in any good faith discussion. With this in mind, “Father, protect us from entering situations of testing or temptation where we might fall.” Its also not just about being charitable but also reconciling scripture that contradicts your interpretation as in the James passage I posted.
>>41265469Didn't he tempt Abraham to kill his son? This just proves the god of the Torah is not the God Jesus spoke of.
>>41265711Theres no evidence the rewritten copies of the original manuscript are substantially different from James writings. Theres too many copies spread out too far from each other, theres thousands and thousands of them; not to mention the early church fathers referenced James and many other NT books in 100 AD and the century following it, none of them contradict with the 'original' text since none of the copies contradict each other substantially (the variance will come as spelling, grammatical mistakes, less than 1% add or remove anything. Scholars place a 99% reliability in purity in the New Testament, theres just too many scattered documents with little to no substantial textual variance in comparison to personal writings of early Christians quoting the supposed original manuscripts. If the text had already been corrupted before the Church Fathers quoted it (say, by 150–200 AD), then you’d expect different Fathers in different regions to quote different versions of James. But that’s not what we see. The early Fathers quoted the NT so often that even if every manuscript vanished, we could reconstruct almost the entire New Testament from their writings alone over 1 million quotations.
>>41268410He told him to do it, but stopped him right before. You will never sin because of God.
>>41265757Mental gemnastics is quote mining scripture and then deciding to build off your own interpretation while ignoring anything else that contradicts your own stubborn interpretation.
>>41268426didn't he bless Jacob after he screwed esau over? didn't he bless Moses after murdering an Egyptian? seems to me your God is not absolute and contradicts himself on a whim.
>>41268447He didnt condone their sin, He blessed them providentially while still bringing them to refinement and perfection. This is called pedagogy, He meets us at our level regardless because of our intention to seek Him in good faith even if we are imperfect along the way.
>>41268415Tldr
