Why has this site seen a huge turn towards Christian shit? It smells waaay off. Like, Russel Brand and all these other influencers turn Christian and this forum becomes overrun with worshippers of the Lord God of Israel via the Jesus psy op.
Why have TPTB decided to shove Christianity down everyones throats and flood boards with Christian bots etc?
Are they trying to strengthen their grip over us spiritually by reinforcing their original deception or what?
I'm sorry but I don't think you are really engaging in good faith here at all. Hoping to cast doubt on whether I'm being logical et al and trying to reduce what I say down to me making 'assumptions'. No, what I'm doing here is pointing out what the Bible itself says, thats all, and demonstrating to you that it is not for you but against you. You should be attempting to play the ball and not the man.
The 'dogs' in both of those examples DO refer to the gentiles. You can assert otherwise, but at least show your working.
Thanks, but it looks like you focused on the minors and ignored my primary questions. You don't get to critique the Christians using what you think is Christian interpretation and then not propose your own moral system, because by denying Christianity you have no right to proclaim judgment about its interpretation. That's othering.
Are you committed to follow truth wherever it leads? If yes, we can investigate where in my 50 linked points you think the truth diverges from my conclusions; that would allow us to judge questions about meaning of "dog", for instance. If no, then you're the one in bad faith and you're projecting that on me. I ask that question of people because it separates those interested in persuading me, at the risk of learning something new, from those who aren't mature enough to accept that risk.
Your OP ball is that Yahweh is not to be worshipped but you have no better alternative. That's the ball I'm playing. If you want to run from that ball it's on you.
I can do what I like and am under no obligation to propose any alternative belief systems, as though you can’t expose a belief system without replacing it with another.
I could sense from your initial injection into my conversation with the other fella that your goal would be to derail the topic away from what the scripture plainly says and into, well, anything else besides.
I’ll not be engaging with you on the topic anymore. If you can stick to your scripture and speak knowledgeably about it then be my guest.
If you have taken Jesus advice and rendered yourself childlike and naive and accepting these things purely on the say so of the book itself then, fair enough. That is your prerogative
The OP topic is Christianity in Jesus, not dogs.
I accept with simple faith all the 66 books that Jesus's people have recognized as his Word. Since you are at peace with that, then you should have no OP objection to those who do the same. If you were to return to implying that simple faith in that Bible is intellectually inferior, then my question would return as to what ground you stand on from which to make that decision. Whatever moral high ground you use, I can meet you on, and we can work from there rather than act at cross purposes. Either there's no such ground (all being meaningless), or there is (true natural law), and in either case there's not any indictment of simple faith that seeks truth and nothing else.
The OP is that these forums have been overrun with Christian sheep, noticeably so. Like Christian posters have been brigading conspiracies.win
But also that Christianity is the main tool that Jews have used against gentiles. It has been their main weapon of war and it is actually abundantly clear when you just read the texts of the Bible itself.
Jesus does not like gentiles and is there to bring about or destruction and yet plenty of gentiles adopt a childlike mind as he instructs and just while accept him as the son of YHWH, and YHWH as the one true god - even though YHWH himself never claims to be anyone’s god other than the Israelites. Mind boggling but understandable
