Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit.
Why is the bible so chilling?

Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
Matthew Reyes
Here's another good one from the same list:
>When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand.

This one sends all of Jow Forums straight to Hell:

Isn't that from the old testament? You are literally reading from the Jewish Torah.
Hunter Jones
Just checked and confirmed. Ezekiel 23:20, old testament. Vulgar shit.

God still thought it was worth preserving. There's stupid shit in the NT, too:
>Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately the tree withered.
Some version of this story is in all four gospels and it's baffling. Why would Jesus kill a fig tree for not having any fruit? Didn't He create it that way?
William Gutierrez
>There's stupid shit in the NT, too:
Does not even compare to the vulgar, evil perversion of the Jewish Torah.
Aaron Brown
Christ specifically cites the Torah and provides is as justification for his own ideas. You can't separate the two so easily, but you're not alone - Christian apologetics since Augustine have been falling all over themselves to invalidate their own holy book.

I'm starting to wonder if OT God and NT God are two entirely different entities.

Communism killed 10 million ;people right? Here it is right in the Gospel of Luke. You can't even claim it doesn't apply because it's in the OT.
Jacob Foster
>Communism killed 10 million ;people right?
Actually it killed way more than that, but what you posted isn't communism.

What is it, then? It sure as hell isn't "me and mine first, let's concentrate wealth."
Eli Sullivan
>What is it, then?
Generosity. Where does it mention redistributing the wealth until everyone is equally poor? All it mentions is sparing some of your excess things for the poor.
Parker Nguyen
The context you are missing is that the fig tree was a symbol of the temple.
Earlier, Jesus had been there turning the tables. Behind him stood a very large painting of a fig tree.
As he looked at the fig tree, he was reminded how the temple also did not bear fruit.
Juan Garcia
>All it mentions is sparing some of your excess things for the poor.
While that certainly is a reasonable proposition, I am fairly certain the Gospel makes the more extreme command to sell all your possessions and follow Christ.
Thomas Gray
Go back to Hell, Marcion.

You have to "give up everything" to follow Jesus, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you own nothing. However, if you give everything away, you will store treasure in heaven.

You smart me dumb. More stories please

Post the real pic. You know the one. The one featuring the CERN director handing the literal key to some other manager.
Also you're a fag if you believe the LHC was predicted by the bible.
Samuel Williams
Please cite the verses describing the painting, and make sure you get all 4 gospels.
Xavier Scott
The strange implication of Jesus' ministry is that the universe is mental, and the single nondivisible atom of existence is the elementary fact. Prayer will give you anything that you ask for in Jesus' name if you repent of your sins.
Parker Martin
Im scared to ask for much. Like its greed and be careful what you wish for. I want stuff but I feel like blessings are matched with something being taken.
Unrelated... any insight on the world going full degenerate. Im to believe its prophecy and will get much worse.

Unironically what got me to start taking Christianity seriously.
