Israel has committed such vast sins in the name of the Jewish people that they might all have to convert to Christianity and sacrifice Jesus in order to cleanse it (sopuli.xyz)

The whole point of Jesus is that he's a blood sacrifice to redeem people's sins. He's an infinitely good being, so his sacrifice has infinite value. The idea is that anyone who accepts Jesus into their heart can sacrifice him atemporally and get their sins redeemed.

Netanyahu seems to be attempting a genocide of the Jewish people by forcing them all to worship Jesus, by committing crimes in their name of a magnitude that perhaps no earthly ritual can repent.

No, this is just delirious.

Well they can convert to the Norse faith and die in battle instead, but I feel that's going to put even more distance between them and their cultural heritage, so same effect

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't sound rational at all, that anyone would need to convert for some highly specific context. I also don't see cultural heritage as a powerful motive to do some things, people can lose cultural heritage without even thinking. They might feel distant from a certain side.

Well I guess it depends on whether Israel's actions do actually represent the Jewish people. Netanyahu says they do, but I guess it's Elohim's choice in the end when it comes to assigning sin. Here's hoping they don't.

Genocide isn't a sin you have to repent for, it's more along the lines of God's will than a sin. Heck, God specifically directed people to do it multiple times in the old testament.

Now if they condoned mass 'wearing of garments sewn from two dissimilar fabrics'....that's where they need someone to die to atone for their sins.

Thou shalt not murder.

'Murder' doesn't mean 'kill'. Self defense isn't murder, accidentally causing sometimes death isn't murder, obeying God's will isn't murder. If God determines morality, there is nothing that can't be made moral by defining it as his will.

Elohim doesn't want the modern Palestinians dead. How many Jewish prophets have you seen in the last 500 years? None, because Elohim doesn't want any deaths right now.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How do you know what he wants any better than the people he actually tells to do things? He may be getting exactly as many deaths as he wants, or not enough, or to many... Why do you think you, out of all people, would be the one who knows God's mind?

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because the people committing genocide don't have any prophets telling them to do it.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why would they need a prophet to tell them? And if they did, how do you know they don't have them? Do you think good needs to make a prophecy evident to you specifically for some reason?

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Prophets deliver messages from Elohim. And if they had one, they'd be bragging about it. Why let people believe Elohim doesn't want the genocide?

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What difference does it make to you? God doesn't have to run his plans through you somehow. They brag if he wants them to brag, if he wants people to believe he condones it, he'll do it one way, if he doesn't he'll do it a different way. Why are you so arrogant as to think it has to make sense to you in order to be one way vs another?

I know what Elohim wants because he told Moses to write it down on a stone tablet.

Thou shalt not murder.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Except when God tells you to kill every Amoleki man, woman, child, and animal.
