Nothing in the bible and what it says can be applied to the normal way of life today. Heck, some of its texts are almost 3,000 years old! The bible is a collection of 66 books composed by random authors over the course of a very long period of time. Most of the authors, at least in the old testament, could not have known each other. Thus is the reason why there are MANY contradictions in the bible. They simply didn't all agree with one another's scriptures.
There's no way stoning disobedient children to death can be integrated into modern society today nor stoning rape victims simply for being unable to call out due to the offender covering her mouth. All which ARE acceptable in the bible. And also killing innocent women and children. Not to mention PREGNANT women especially. So to all of those anti-abortion Christians, please take note.
There are rules in war that militaries must follow like the Geneva Convention which states patently that you CANNOT kill non combatants. But it was no problem in the bible for jews to do those things of course.
Do the Christian women of today cover their hair when they read the bible? I can guarantee you that 99.9% of them don't. It was an abomination to NOT cover your hair as a woman back in the hay days of Christianity. On occasion today, I might stumble upon a female pastor. But this is also an abomination according to Christianity. Women are not meant to speak but keep silent.
Yes, there are PLENTY of other outdated things in the bible like I mentioned. Jews eating pork for example; there are plenty of jewish people that eat pork today. But a long time ago Jews were strictly forbidden from eating pork like the bible mentions. Heck, even the NT writers of Matthew thought that was outdated and unnecessary during their own period of time! That's why Christians can eat it without issue.
And how about Jesus' coming? Well, 2,000 years ago the Christian scribes said he will come back REALLY soon and that the end is nigh! Before this 'generation' ends, 'soon.' That's how soon I'm talking about. But, here we are a very, very long 2,000 years later where many, many generations have come and gone. And still no Jesus? It sounds like a failed and outdated prophecy to me.
I can't even fathom what 2,000 years is like in my head. I mean, the 1980s feel like forever ago, am I right? And you still want to say that Jesus is coming which was mentioned 2,000 years ago? Please.
I'm saying he is not coming back. "Oh brother, just you wait, sinner!" Ha, I'll wait and you'll wait with me. But I really think you will be disappointed.
It's obvious that society has evolved and religion in general along with it which to me makes the bible an outdated book. What say you about my argument?
