If it meant all mankind wouldn’t it say “all man” or “all of man”?

Christians are SUPER split on this. My Catholic parents always told me that Jesus did sin and make mistakes, even though Mary didn’t, but since then I’ve heard many swear that actually Jesus disobeying his parents wasn’t a sin because ___________ _______ ____ _______ __ ___ __________ ___ ____ _____. _______ __ ___ _____ __ _ _____!

a lot of it’s metaphors and parables/stories. it does make sense if you read it with the right lens. unfortunately it gets read with the wrong lens a lot and people misinterpret it

lmao fair, I think it’s an important part of Jesus’ story to acknowledge that he is imperfect because he is human. experiencing the human condition involved sin and mistakes and it’s inauthentic to me to say Jesus never sinned. one of the most emotional, climactic parts of the Bible, his crucifixion, involved him questioning his faith in an outcry. it’s extremely important to acknowledge that he can sin

In my opinion the Bible is like Shakespeare. Like yeah, if you look closely, you’ll find these deeper meanings and significant themes that connect to really thoughtful musings about human nature. That’s WHY people care about these works of fiction in the first place. But neither Shakespeare nor the Bible are actually evidence for any god.

and the idea that he didn’t sin seems like a weird purity thing, that he couldn’t be fully God if he never sinned. to me he would never be fully human if he didn’t sin, though

exactly, the Bible wasn’t meant to be a proof that God exists, because that would defy the idea of faith. the Bible just reveals how Christians should live and includes a bunch of stories you’re supposed to learn from

the point of faith is to believe in something you can’t prove exists. I respect your belief even if I don’t share it :p

no seriously like i’m not religious but ppl assuming he’s a guy and he’s white just proves the point of 1. white men wrote the bible and 2. christianity was just a ploy to give white men power

people do white wash god, but saying it was written by white men is factually incorrect 💀 and saying the entire point of a religion is to scam people into the patriarchy is also insane. conspiracy theory shit 😭

idk i agree with her somewhat bc men have always ruled the world and as a result women are on the bottom of the totem pole and we keep getting our rights and stuff taken away too. i can see why she thinks the way she does honestly. the bible teaches you to be subservient and submissive to men so in a way she’s not totally wrong imo.

1

imo i think it’s extremely patriarchal because of the way it paints the picture that men have all of the power and women don’t. you don’t have to agree with me but that’s what i personally think.

2

My brother in Christ the entire Bible is incredibly patriarchal. From declaring women on their periods to be so unclean you can’t even touch them without contaminating yourself to disallowing female church leaders to the portrayal of women’s role as to be submissive to men, the Bible is an incredibly patriarchal document.

8

i mean being religious and being subservient/submissive to men is reinforcing the patriarchy but that’s not a conversation a lot of people want to have. the best example of this i have is afghanistan women being forced to fully cover themselves including their faces. this is what happens when men and religion take over your society and culture. it’s not for the good of the people it’s for the power of men to feel like they are in control and if you don’t follow what they say they they’ll kill u

2

so? even if it’s a different religion their religion is still reinforcing harmful stereotypes and rules on women that put them in danger.

4

my point is that religion in general reinforces the patriarchy. the rules made, the things said, etc including the teachings. i just used one as an example bc what i was talking about was all over the internet a few weeks ago. your religion is not excluded in my conversation either it’s still included.

you’re upset and have your panties in a twist because we’re pointing out flaws that are harmful to us.

Just cause the majority of people do it doesn’t mean it’s ok. It just means you’re conforming to the world instead of God

this is the story, he didn’t disobey, his parents lost him on accident. translation is NASB, which is a literal, word for word translation
