Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

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.

Insanely stupid thread from an insanely stupid person

Now this is a showerthought.

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 4 months 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.

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

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz -2 points 4 months ago

Well Samuel is a fuckin liar

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

'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 4 months 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 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months 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 2 points 4 months 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 4 months 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?

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

Thou shalt not murder.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

You know what he told one prophet. He doesn't have to do it any way in particular.

And he said thou shall not murder, but didn't define what murder is. He has commanded genocide and other killings in his name, in addition to rules requiring stoning sinners to death.... Murder is obvious a fluid term and he can define it as he wishes.

Yeah that's what Revelation is about partly

Or they can say two Hail Marys and be forgiven.

Don’t post it on Lemmy world but Pontius Pilate already killed Jesus the first time, don’t let them do it again! /s

Pontius Pilate was a government official for the Roman Empire for Judea, much of which is now controlled by Israeli government, he was not Jewish…

Similar to how we have fake Christians in the US I can only assume Netanyahu is a fake believer of Judaism…

It’s actually funny because zionists just accused Tucker Carlson of being antisemitic for telling the story of Jesus at Charlie Kirk’s funeral service. He literally just said some basic stuff about Jesus, but because Jesus was born in Palestine it’s antisemitic somehow to talk about it?

Palestinian people are also Semites lol.

I despise a lot of what Tucker and Charlie have said in the past, but on the issue of Gaza I think they have some shared opinions with…. Well, most of the world concerning the ongoing genocide currently being perpetrated by the Israeli government…

I legitimately have no idea what you're saying
