What's the deal with the carved image anyway?

Would you mind telling me what a "true" Christian is? Are you saying if I don't follow the jews' scripture, I'm not a "true" Christian?

We would need to define "Christian"

In the simplest form this would be someone that believes in Biblical doctrinal inerrancy, the core canon and the core Traditions.

Like mapping out the relationships between different species of animals you could do this with different forms of Christianity that fall under that definition.

Are you saying if I don't follow the jews' scripture, I'm not a "true" Christian?

If you consciously reject adhering to some kind of sound exegesis of the Bible and core Traditions, you would not be a true Christian.

(You could still be a cultural Christian)

That is ridiculous. You didn't mention Jesus or faith once. The simplest definition is faith in Jesus Christ. Doctrine has nothing to do with it. Did the former pagans turned Christians in the early church (1st century) rely on doctrine? A Christian bible didn't exist until Marcion compiled one very early in the 2nd century.

The Marcion Bible does not follow core Tradition and therefore is not Christian (it's Christian-adjacent).

Belief in Jesus Christ by itself also does not make one a Christian. Moslems are an example that believe Jesus is messiah and will return again, but are not Christian.

Did the former pagans turned Christians in the early church (1st century) rely on doctrine?

Yes. Absolutely.

[says one thing]
”DO YOU MEAN [exact opposite thing]?!”

Could you at least pretend to try.

What the hell are you talking about? Try to what? Go along with someone else's Christian doctrine? Pretend not to have a difference of opinion? In case you missed it, I was distinguishing between doctrine and faith. They're not the same thing.

Faith informs doctrine. The Ten Commandments aren’t part of the Old Covenant, and so they’re still Christian doctrine.

Yes, faith is primary. All doctrine begins with faith, but many build upon it until the source of the faith is unrecognizable. This is what happens when scripture is accepted without proper scrutiny. I'm certain you know there is a tremendous amount of scripture that was rejected for not conforming to various groups' doctrines for various reasons. This eventually evolved into what is now considered the Christian canon. The Hebrew scriptures were not written for gentiles, they were written by jews for jews and have no place in the Christian canon.

I would recommend you look a bit deeper into how and why the Hebrew scriptures were appended to the Christian bible in the first place.

Jews aren’t the Hebrews of the Bible.

That wasn't my point. You quoted my point: The Hebrew scriptures were not written for gentiles. It's as simple as that. I don't care what you call them, or what they call themselves: Hebrews, jews, Israelites, the tribe, etc., they aren't us and we aren't them. Whoever they were wrote the law for themselves and were very plain that it applied ONLY to them. No Christian is under any obligation to observe the jewish law, which includes the ten commandments.

Neat, except the Old Covenant is gone and the New Covenant is here. And the Ten Commandments weren’t part of the Old Covenant.

Enjoy burning in hell for all eternity, retard.

I'm going to defer to God for judgment on that account, not some snarky, judgmental anonymous dogmatist on a message board.

God said you’re wrong. Bible’s the record of it. Enjoy, dipshit.

The Hebrew scriptures were not written for gentiles, they were written by jews for jews and have no place in the Christian canon.

You should look at the OT prophecies and how they foreshadow Gentiles entering the fold of the faith of Abraham. Your conjecture is clouded.

Sweet I can injure, maim, and rape unmarried women all day long. Thanks jesus!

If you aren’t defending jews you’re actively being a kike retard.

The jew claims in the Talmud that an unmarried woman can be raped - as long as she’s under a certain age - and her value in trade is less after being raped! Now go defend that shit, you worthless moron!

[ - ] HelenHighwater 0 points 3 weeksApr 6, 2025 14:34:28 ago (+0/-0)

Ten commandments are woefully incomplete. Anyone who things different is a kike loving cunt.
