How do you appraise the Bible;

as a scientific cosmological treatise?
as a historical narrative?
as a moral guide?
as a spiritual development blueprint?
as a work of literature?

Kikes are taught to Murder disciples of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

DEUS VULT

koran is a pile of shit only good for burning

Didn't we just have this thread?

Heavily modified book made to serve it purpose.
Even the theological experts can't decide which translation is correct.
You would think an almighty God would solve this issue.
Only 3rdies and low IQ people have strong faith.

as the Word of God that reveals the Son of God and his atoning sacrifice for all my sins once for all on the cross paid for by his blood so I might have eternal life with him.

...as a pamphlet from a revolutionary who hijacked the old testament to implement slave morality, but somehow in a good way, as steering left in a selfish greedy fuckers society lead to a good balance

the leftist continuing his movement will only push it too much to the left, leading to an ciolent comming back of the pendulum...

preemptive sage as i expect a no-input from OP slide thread...

A book of legends.

Amen, brother.

the Word of God.

Doesn't matter what you think of Christianity or Judaism, I would say the Bible is the single most important book in the history of mankind.

you cant understand the bible without the Holy Spirit explaining it to you.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Christianity and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Only 3rdies and low IQ people have strong faith.

I was born and raised in America and my family has been here for generations. I have had my IQ professionally tested and scored 142. I work in a STEM field earning well over 6 figures. And I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

the bible really helped me out once when i went camping and we ran out of kindling so i used the pages to get a nice fire going. the marshmallows were so good

You dont appraise the Bible. That's already been done by the Church that Christ established

An old moral guide, kinda weird people take the mythology in it seriously tho

Jesus wasn't even a real person, dummy

pic related

And yet the consensus of modern scholars is that Jesus did exist.

And yet the consensus of modern scholars is that 6,000,000 Jews died in the holocaust

Yeah get back to me when you have some actual evidence for a historical Jesus

Yes, but OP is a goyper faggot who remade it because he was being trounced in the comments

appeal to consensus

Works on 100IQ liberals and conservatards. We're supposed to be better than that.

No it's not a scientific treatise even if it contains scientific truths, as a timeless work some things take the back seat in favor of timeless teachings, for example what's the point of revealing some scientific truth to a people of some time and place with no means to observe, understand or do anything with it?

For example the geocentric model was good enough for the people of that era thus when painting some picture with cosmological elements it was wiser to use that as to not digress from the spiritual didache. If black holes were proven to be in fact pink ones would that change our lives in any way and make us into better people under any context or evolutionary stage? Well no.

As for the rest of questions, the books are divided into historical, poetic/didactic which serve as moral guides and prophetic ones for the strengthening of the faith of believers.

Moral guide. Science is the best tool we have to understand the physical universe, and religion is the best tool we have to understand the moral universe. Both are needed for a healthy, prosperous, technological society. Anyone that says there is some fundamental conflict between the two either hasn't really thought things through, or they're not that bright, or they just really hate Christians for some stupid, fucked up reason.

all these Christian historians throughout Christian history studied the history of Christianity that was rewritten after Christians gained power all agree that Christianity is true.

No shit, retard. Saying something is true doesn't make it true. Provide some empirical evidence instead of gay arguments that are unfalsifiable.

The old testament makes more sense when you realize that yahweh is a reptilian shapeshifter, and the new testament makes more sense when you realize that the full unedited court transcript of Jesus' trial before his execution is buried somewhere in the vatican archives.

The Old Testament makes more sense when you realize Jews made it all up so they would have a religious and historical claim to someone else's land.

It's a collection of anecdotes and allegories mixed with a bias account of the history of pre-writting caananite tribes.

the full unedited court transcript of Jesus' trial before his execution is buried somewhere in the vatican archives

How did you come to that conclusion?

As a cautionary tale to not be a retard who believes it.

Faith is a bit more complex than that.
Having faith in God essential to success in life.
Having faith in man is naive and foolish.
Whether or not the Bible is divinely inspired, it is fundamentally a work of man.

A Jewish fantasy that whites have gobbled up like marvel movies

You literally contradicted yourself by saying the Bible and therefore religion is a work of man, but you're also saying that having faith in man is naive and foolish? Lol?

That's even dumber than just doing what the book says.
You're talking about just listening to what other people tell you the book says.
That's the lazy way to do religion.

Anthropologically.

I am not religious, but the rules christians (should) live by described in the bible promote civilisation and are mostly good. It also gives at least some(Even if false) hope and a way to cope with people's terrible lives and the unfair nature of life by saying that you will be rewarded after death and those who exploited you punished. The only problem is it kinda fails to take external enemies into account, at least the new testament, which is also why it will disappear and be replaced by islam.

as a scientific cosmological treatise?

it's a fairy tale

as a historical narrative?

it's made up by writer

as a moral guide?

good if you're a jew

as a spiritual development blueprint?

good if you're a jew

as a work of literature?

the most boring book ever written

As a revelation and source of objective morality from all-powerful God, authored by God (Holy Spirit) and co-authored by man.

The Bible is the word of God. It is a collection of stories from history he wants everyone to know, as well as the instruction manual om how to get in a right relationship with him so you can be saved and have eternal life in heaven.

Exodus

slaves in egypt

borrows gold and precious objects from neighbors (wot ?!)

every first children in the town is slaughtered, unless the jewish ones thanks to blood on their doors (from who is this blood ?)

flees with the gold

nobody likes us !

following chapters before i got bored of it is just them disobeing god in every way and him getting pissed...

forgot the part when pharaon want to let them go (supposed slaves) but god made him refuse, so god can prove his power by unleashing plagues upon egypt...

tldr: murders robbers always dosobeig their full of ego god...

the Lord's power is great and all powerful. No demon shall prosper and all authority of heaven to bow to the Lord.

Damn you're stupid.
Religion and faith are different things retard.
Religion is a community and the shared culture of that community, it is a fundamentally collectivist endeavor.
Collectivism has its merits, but like all acts of collectivism a wise person must maintain a health dose of skepticism.
Faith on the other hand is personal, ultimately it is the question of whether or not you actually believe in the divine, outside of what you say to your community, and how that belief shapes your actions and worldview.
Step up your game, anons are supposed to be smart.

A book.

What a shitty book.

Moral guide 100%.
Jesus was right, about everything. He wasn't healing people's disease, he was healing their cognitive disorders and it was so intense they could only describe it as "healing the sick" "healing disease". He's the answer, check it out:

A Book produced by the Church, for the Church, to use in the Church.

Grooming is when someone uses sex, drugs, food, shelter, etc to form "out-group bias" into you. So you prefer them over your family, friends, self, your own. Jesus saw jews and their covert narcissism causing so much mental sickness he had to go out and larp as son of God to fucking fix it all. That's my take on it.

Protestants literally would not exist without the printing press.

You do not have the AUTHORity to determine the meaning of the Holy Scriptures apart from the inspired teaching of the Holy Fathers passed down and preserved in the Church.

you're not allowed to use your brain

christniggers, everyone

As a subversive mind control tool to keep goyim under a chosen's boot

The PROBLEM is that Christians have turned Christianity into a club, rather than a welcoming center for the healing. So by treating people like shit, they are creating out-group bias in them and making them seek a more nihilistic (almost marxist) philosophy that allows them to succeed when Christianity lords over them and mocks their failure instead of helping them be successful.

Anon the entire old testament switches between

Isn’t God awesome! Let’s sing about it

God here, I have some rules for you to follow

we stopped following God and a prophet came to say we’re going to get our shit fucked up if we don’t turn back

a brutal description of shit getting fucked up

another prophet here: have hope, at some time in the future God will send his Messiah that will end the cycle of shit getting fucked up

Then you get to the new testament and that Messiah arrives and they fucking kill him. God wasn’t very happy with that one

In other words, liberalism is the natural outcome of a developing human being who has never felt accepted, loved, or part of his own kind. And condemning them instead of helping them feel like they ARE included is only making it worse.

"A child abandoned by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth."

Straight unfiltered Jewish filth. You think "man these guys sure are evil" then you read this shit and realize well no fucking wonder they're so evil.

That's not what I said.
You are not free to change the meaning of the words written by someone else; even less so to change them in order to strawman. That's called being disingenuous.

The prophecy only existed because people could see where society was headed... It was headed to hell. That's why they are the synogogue of satan. The jews used (and still use) their suffering as a tribe to justify doing evil shit.

(aka covert narc tactics)
We're watching humanity actualize. That's what's happening right now.
