@butforwales Agnosticism and a/theism aren’t mutually exclusive.
The NT contains ethnocentrism, tribalism, slavery accommodation, and a whole lot of Paul negotiating practical realities instead of articulating universal moral principles.
So… sorry about your shitty morals.
@FRosyrat96857@amybordo@maklelan Maybe you should’ve learned that the 1st Amendment protects people from government restrictions on religion and speech — not from private companies enforcing their own uniform rules.
MLB isn’t the government.
@toyosioyejobi@Michael64422597@athiestboi@ragamuffinman33 I mean the exact same thing the first 12 times I said and you ignored it. Thanks for helping me prove my point. I'm not interested in continuing further with you. Be well :)
@toyosioyejobi@Michael64422597@athiestboi@ragamuffinman33 2c) But it does mean the truth of prophetic fulfillment claims and textual connections isn’t necessarily as straightforward as you’re presenting it.
You keep framing this as though I’m making claims about motives.
I’m not.
I’m talking about history and interpretation.
@toyosioyejobi@Michael64422597@athiestboi@ragamuffinman33 1c) Right.
That’s literally the point I’ve been making.
The authors knew the texts, interpreted Jesus through those texts, and then wrote narratives connecting the two.
That doesn’t make them dishonest and it doesn’t mean they had “a bone to pick.”
