The meaning of life is to suffer

>>2010570
This is why gnosticism is the only religion that makes sense.

>>2010570
Almost as if the way a perfect and unlimited being percieves the world is utterly incomprehensible to the limited mind of humans.

Lovecraft got that part right.

Something something God is really smart and you just don't get it so just blindly belive

that being gets bored and creates a randomness series to keep itself entertained with surprises. and it plays the game so long it forgets it's an unlimited eternal being.

You know the drill.

It's all a metaphor.
Blah blah blah.
Praise Jesus.

Premise: God is omnibenevolent and doesn't create evil

Premise: God created existence

Premise: Existence is full of suffering and injustice

Conclusion: Suffering and injustice are good

it doesnt count anymore?? duh

How so?

It's Gods universe, he can do what he wants with it.

>>2011308
Old testament=old covenant between God and Jews. Some lessons still apply, but mostly used for genealogical purposes
New Testament=New covenant through Christ for all peoples

>>2011376
Word of God is word of God. What, did he just change his mind or something? Not something you'd expect from an omnipotent deity who creates the universe and man with a set vision and purpose.

It's almost like it's all a load of bullshit written by sociopolitically motivated people.

>t. never read a single page of the bible

>>2010570
That's not how it works

>>2010652
Yo dont expect to understand GOD duh!

Except for the parts of the bible that are okay, like, doesnt matter that humans wrote it they obviously did understand god, unlike us... somehow

>>2011395
God changes his mind in the OT all the fucking time. Personally I think its a bit fucking suspect on the grounds that an all knowing God would be in a position to get everything right the first reason and has no reason not to.

>>2011466
>everything right the first time

>"God is perfect!"
>He still makes mistakes and constantly changes his mind.

>>2010570
Protip: [spoiler]he never fucked up[/spoiler]

God is omniscient. That means he was also the snake in the garden. He's chaotic neutral, just doing things as they fancy him.

>>2010570
That's the thing about chaos, it's fair.

Don't blame your own mistakes and lack of knowledge/strength to tame the universe on this god fellow.

>>2011376
>Original commenter here
In this verse, God is not laying out laws, he's simply stating his being and what he is capable of. If you'd go so far as to call this a product solely of the OT, you can also call the creation of the universe and man a product solely of the OT.

Except the Son came unto this earth to bring us the message of salvation in a way comprehensible to us. The Son is not a man, and is perfectly capable of understanding the Father. Teachings of the Son have been transcribed for us by His followers, so that we may follow them and find salvation.

That is quite literally your own choice. All you have to do is listen.
