SUDDENLY THE BIBLE REQUIRES TRANSLATION INTO TODAY'S CONTEXT AND TERMS HUH
These fuckers will scream the bible can't be wrong when it comes to judging others but the moment they realize Jesus asked them to do something for other people and not just scream at people who look different, now all of a suddenly, we need to define what the term "riches" mean and we have to take into account it's a 4000 year old work, etc. etc.
This doesn't even touch the part shortly after this verse about a couple that lied about giving everything to the church and god opened up the earth to swallow them for bucking the socialist system.
Joshua 7. Oh wait sorry we are pretending it wasn't just plagiarized from earlier stories.
Acts 5.1-11
They love to cite the parts of Leviticus that condemn homosexual behavior, but suddenly when Leviticus starts telling you where to get your slaves and how cruel you should be, it's "but that's the Old Testament!! 🤓☝️"
Didn't Leviticus also say something about what foods you can eat?
I seem to recall something about shellfish.
