Yes. And these factless assertions have been the only 'arguments given.. except for blatant distortions, presented as 'error!'
How then do you 'know!' this? Intuition? You creatainly have no facts, just contrary opinions and belief, presented as fact.
Asserting 'all these wars were caused by Christianity!', is an unbased assertion. You have no evidence for this smear. It is your belief, from years of anti-christian Indoctrination.
Yes, keep pounding the anti-christian propaganda drum. Perhaps you can demonize all who follow Jesus and historical Christianity. ..maybe even get them cleansed or eliminated some day!
You have no evidence to paint me with this ad hom smear, it is a fallacy for an impotent debater, who has no facts, reason, or arguments.
It is part of the Proggy Hop, to defect from any real examination of evidence, to keep the narratives going, for these hateful, denying, evil xtians!
Ah good. A dogpile of fear mongering, to scapegoat the evil xtians..
You really think these phony caricatures are 'reason!'?
Good plan.. toss in some ridicule for the demonized caricatures you've created!
Nothing dehumanizes the enemy like some good mocking and ridicule!
You think theses verses prove that xtianity was responsible for slavery? You proof text these to support your accusation of:
1. Christianity is responsible for most of the atrocities of humanity.
1. Slavery had been around a lot longer.. it did not start when Christ was born.
2. Paul gave instructions to some, to live and serve God, in whatever situation they are in. But he also encourages slaves to seek their freedom, if they can.. hardly a compelling argument thst 'Christianity caused slavery!!'
1Cor7:17Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
21Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although
if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave. 23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings. 24Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Asserted without evidence. This is not established history, but a prejudicial belief. Pitching beliefs as fact is a common problem, among progressive indoctrinees .
See above. You assert this without evidence.
The FACT is, we don't know which variants were the right ones. Precedence is given to older manuscripts and fragments, with the assumption that any typos, or variants would have shown up later. Biblical scholars have erred on the side of caution, by including all variants that have credibility and a possibility of being copies of the originals. Most bible translations have footnotes, for those variants.
But variants are not 'errors!' They could be many things, INCLUDING an attempt to edit the originals with personal commentary. Many apocryphal texts have been omitted from the canon of scripture for this very reason.
The bottom line, is the manuscripts are true to the originals. All real evidence affirms their authenticity. You can refer to a variant, when studying abook or passage, but they do not change the original exegesis of the author's work. Some have, in the past. Marcion's edits were roundly condemned as heretical, before an approved canon was even established. He was likely the motivation to organize the canon, which has remained constant to this day.
This proves,
5.
Christianity is an opiate for humanity, squashing free expression.
??
Shirley, everyone can see the absurdity of this alleged proof..
so you assert, and it does not support your claim of, 'the bible can mean whatever anyone wants!'
Ad hom demonizing of ideological enemies. Goebbels would be impressed.
Really? You quote a text that supports EXACTLY my point of a false narrative:
8.
Christianity is an ideology of oppression, mandating conformity and submission to elites.
FREEDOM, not blind submission and obeisance to elites, is the Way of Christianity.
You err, knowing neither the scriptures, nor the Power of God.
Quoting random, unrelated passages to prove some false accusation is beyond Proggy Hopping, and becomes ludicrous.
Reason. It are hard, for progressive indoctrinees..
