And the bible doesn’t have instances of slavery, pedo and terror? Have you read the Old Testament son?

No, I haven't read the Jewish scripture of the Old Testament in a little while because I tend to focus on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, rather than what the Jews have to say about how they are God's chosen master race or how a Jew should REMORSELESSLY attack and slaughter his entire family for the crime of not being Jewish enough (Deuteronomy 13:6-10). Feel free to down-vote and deport me, but that is 100% accurate what the Old Testament says.

I believe Jesus wouldn't demand anyone remorselessly murder their wife and children. Perhaps I'm funny like that.

I hope TDW mods don't consider quoting Deuteronomy to be a worthy of banning people or censoring them. That would be 1000% awkward.

I haven't read the Jewish Talmud is a few years either, in case you're wondering... but I'm open to honest and robust discussions about what it claims for Jews to sexually do to three year old and children younger than nine years old.

But if you throw out the old testament you get rid of the 10 commandments and original sin... Without original sin Jesus's sacrifice means nothing. You can't have Christianity without the old testament. And according to Jesus not a jot or tittle of the old testament was to be changed. Things that make you go hmmm 🤔

Christianity isn't like Islam: few of us believe our scripture is the perfect, verbatim word of God. I recognize the bible as being inspired by God, but also written by fallible humans and is therefore subject to the full spectrum of human error in it's initial record, compilation, translation and interpretation.

You can follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and have a fellowship with Jesus Christ, without the need for splashing bird blood on the walls of your home (Leviticus 13) or murdering strangers for working on Saturday (Numbers 15:32-36).

Yes, the bible mentions these, but as parts of stories, not instructions on how to be a good Christian.

The Bible is primarily about Jesus. He is the Christian's model person and He never endorsed or participated about those crimes. He is the perfect man.

Likewise, Muhammad did these atrocities and as the model person to a muslim, his example and orders are still being followed over a 1000 years later.
