    I went back to protestantism due to reasons

    Also in terms of orthodox justification. They can just say "Pope peter never mentions in mark " you are peter and upon this rock i will build my church. Since orthodox believes pope dont have authority over church doctrine. In either case you can use all sorts of justisfication to discredit or...

    I went back to protestantism due to reasons

    Because it was too much a unpractical mental mess for me to tackle. Also i dont like going to church each sunday, sometimes its ok. But i have a feeling its the faith itself and the fruit of works you get from it that is the salvation itself, like no hatred, envying. That stuff, just basically...

    Was Jesus black or white?

    In new testament, yes. As in terms of identity politics which is "there is neither jew nor greek, nor slave nor free, nor male nor female for you are in all Christ" basically the faith determines your fruit, not what your identify as. However, the old testament has some disturbing stuff. Ham...

    Was Jesus black or white?

    There has been... kind of a funny debate going on here. Like the thing is what is funny is the first part, this is the least religious thing you can debate about but its like either very loud minorities arguing that he was black.. or maybe neo nazis would make up consparicies that jews tries to...

    Shameful for a man to have long hair. Jesus had long hair, but could it just mean shameful to not be

    Like maybe its just an over literal interpretation, in the new testament paul writes this 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 Like males usually have short hair because thats how males are, masculine built. Female are feminine so they should have long hair " and i guess cover their head for virtue reasons...

    The bible is actually pro pedophilia?

    Nah i am saying that being anti slavery for paul would be as not obeying your master, the master should also treat the slave good and have mercy on him. Paul is however saying that being free under faith is also good. He's just saying that dont get rebellious, but freedom is also a gift from god

    The bible is actually pro pedophilia?

    Well the bible is pro slavery, though the new testament is sort of saying if you find freedom in god then its good for you, and is putting more negative attitude towards slavery in general as in "do not be yoke of bondage and slavery" but still you should obey earthly master most likely that...

    The bible is actually pro pedophilia?

    Like maybe i am saying it wrong. Maybe its not pro pedophilia. But the interpretation of a pedophile could the least justify it. Who knows, maybe the spoils of war such as children was used for slavery in general, child labour. But really i have no clue. The point is you can interpret this as...

    The bible is actually pro pedophilia?

    It says "if a man is not pleased" a female has no say in it in terms of war booty. The point here is that they wanted to show how better their god was compared to other cultures and religions that allowed sex slaves as spoils of wars, in this case marriage. It wouldn't make sense in having women...

    The bible is actually pro pedophilia?

    I read some stuff in the old. Before you say "old covenant".. this is in terms of war spoils. Not in context to laws of moses or the typical what you should do. More like an act of war spoils, but basically even so it does give a clue to what is ok or not. Basically according to later bible...
