Imagine being taught that when you think, that voice in your head is god speaking. Now understand that ANYTHING god says or does is righteous…never trust a christian indeed. Its literally induced schizophrenia and narcissism.
I don’t think they’re all taught that, I think my church was just paranoid and insane, tbh.
And they never outright said it was the entire “voice”, but that pointed to so many individual things, I felt like it was. It was easier to reject any kind of negative emotions or complicated thoughts or unfamiliar opinions as some kind of outside attack than to really sit with them.
I guess it’s not really relevant to the conversation at hand, other than pointing out that christians can be all different types of dysfunctional :p
As a Christian, I can completely relate to your sentiment. I’ve found Christians to be the most closed-off, narrow-minded group of people, distrusting and even downright antagonistic of anything that sounds “non-Chiristian.”
As a Christian, I’m sorry you’ve been hurt. It’s not right.
Supposedly Pilate pissed off the Jewish population repeatedly in his governorship by pushing Roman religion and minting coins with non-Jewish imagery, so I think we can safely say he wasn’t Jewish and was presumably Greco-Roman or Mithraic.
I think he’s saying that because the original cult would have considered themselves Jewish the Pharisees (understood within the text to be the contemporary Jewish theocratic leadership but it’s a bit more complex in reality) arguing for his execution are basically the same thing as Christians.
Which is silly.
I assume he lost the context of the argument or wasn’t raised in… Any Abrahamic faith because wow.
Trust a christian.

You guys were taught that it was god?? I was taught it was always satan or some lesser demon lying to me.

Tbf he was crucified by romans of unspecified religion. Also he got better.

Not being a literal expert on the topic I’m not sure whether the imagery used implies one but not the other.
Definitely not Jewish though!

I have not read a Bible beyond Genesis, would appreciate an actual quote rather than just the citation.
