To be fair, have you read the Bible? He'd fit right in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I have. He would fit in many places, Sodom, Gomorrah, the rapey parts of Genesis and Deuteronomy, or the slave promoting section of Leviticus…

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 7 points 6 days ago

Plenty of parts of Revelations, too.

He, like Jesus, did call others he didnt like Dogs.

If you're only reading the old testament, then you're not reading the Bible.

If Jesus existed, he would beat Trump to death with his bare hands.

I feel like we should start calling these false Christians ~~Muslims~~ or Jews to fuck with them.

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 days ago

Maybe we shouldn't invoke other religions as an insult.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Muslim doesn’t make sense. The Quran includes the New Testament.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the correction. I thought the old testament was the divergence point of the Abrahamic religions.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I was raised Catholic, so I remember it like this:

Jews: God talked to one of our people.

Christians: That’s great! Tell us all about it!

Muslims: God talked to one of our people.

Christians: There’s no fucking way that happened.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's weird because the old testament was about the Jews. There weren't any Christians yet. If you are a Christian you should only be reading the New testament.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Nah. The Christian Bible includes the Old Testament (Torah) and the New Testament. The New Testament is a continuation of what they believe to be God’s word. Just like the Quran contains both the Torah and New Testament as well as several chapters that chronologically follow.

Jesus said he had not come to abolish the old law.
