  • what is a “m!n”

    I can’t even tell if this comment is serious or not. Don’t know how any rational person would look at the Bible and think “ah yes, scientific textbook”.

    Anyway, if I were going to respond to something in the rant you just posted, most texts at that time were anonymous. The Gospels are well attributed and there basically has been zero dispute over authorship of them until thousands of years later, which these scholars say stuff like “without ancient attribution there’s no way to know who wrote this” yeah… that’s how documents from that time work. The only thing that’s been disputed is the book of Hebrews.

    Back to science- what is man’s greatest need?

    Mark 2:3-5

    “And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” ”

    These men were probably just trying to go for a physical healing- yet Jesus gave a much more important and profound spiritual healing.

    We think that what we need is random scientific trivia or rules on slavery- in actuality, what we need is the forgiveness of sins.

    Also, Christians don’t really disagree massively on salvation, it’s just the way and order of the processes. It’s been agreed that people are saved by grace - the Reformed model is that the grace and salvation produces good works. The Roman model is that grace produces the good works which contributes to the salvation IIRC. At the end of the day, it’s just semantics. Everyone agrees on the basic fundamentals.
