Hey man, every story has its shadow. You really think a newly born omnipotent being ISNT going to experiment and maybe do something considered fucking horrible by everyone but it's okay because he quickly reversed it so it was quickly forgotten because hay he did something else that was nice

Just saying man, grains of salt go a long way with these things and stomping on feelings is always the worst way to do shit. I was just pointing out why I thought maybe baby Jesus wouldn't be a good vidya partner, because with the levels of autism known to the average video game player, an omnipotent video game player would be a fucking hornet nest kind of deal.

But maybe baby Jesus would be chill as shit about it. Play some jet set radio and just skate or something. Maybe just flip around ny as Spider-Man trying to get to mr. Conor's class. I don't know bro.

>>390111360
He never really forced anyone to do anything but he said it in a "for your own good" way. He'd probably tell you to throw out all of your tempting video games and say that it's better to lose the games than to lose your life. (My source is his minispeech on adultery where he said that if your right eye causes you to stutter, it's better to gauge it out and throw it away than to have your whole body thrown away.)

Well, I'm glad I was able to show you something new. Actually, most of the scripted mentioned in the thread are still in the Jewish holy book the Torah and pretty sure they're in the Koran too.

They just didn't make it into the Bible because a later more Orthodox Church of the Byzantine empire omitted and added some things that are now generally accepted worldwide as the canon Christian faith. Somehow the stories are hush hush even though now I think people might be able to see past the immediate "oh shit he did that" shock of the stories and get to the actual lesson it's trying to convey.

There was also plenty of slander post-crucifixtion, if the people of rome, jerusalem, somalia, and elsewhere killed the apostles for how they talked about Jesus, why is it unreasonable to discern between documents speaking about Him as canon or not, especially era-correct ones?
Things that contradict His nature as laid out by those who describe Him correctly as the sinless son of God (because without that there is no religion) and use His name to either front a cause or to simply make His followers look bad should not be considered based on the orthodox interpretation of His life and works
Simply, for one reason or another, those documents were decanonized because they present an untrue or uneccesary look at the early life of Jesus because Jesus wasn't a savescummer with reality (because that denies His incarnation as wholly man which cheapens His death on the cross)

>>390113215
But that's the whole reason why it was so controversial. The people who believed he was a man wholly and truly can't accept that he would do those things.

The other side, who saw him as wholly divine, could easily accept a savescumming god as long as he put everyone on the best timeline.

The conundrum is how he could leave us on the best timeline and also die as a human is why it got so convoluted and here had to be mass callings to every priest with any standing to get the story straightened out to mass appeal.

I'd say the truth is somewhere in between, but omitting and adding things just changed goal posts. The vision of the man himself must have been something else, if not something entirely more.

>>390114183
Mind bendingly so. Inconceivable.
The twist? They didn't do anything with it: wasn't their job. Their job was to sing about how great God is for 100% of all eternity. Maybe be a messenger if God wants to send one to say somethin'.

Also, the whole "tier" thing of angels is not a part of Christianity. That's just a fan's databook made for funsies. There are were only a few named angels and, like, 4 groups MAX of what other angels might be categorized as.

>>390114028

Read the documentations and examinations of the First Council of Nicea if you want to know exactly why each document was canonized or not because it has to do with the very reason of personal interpretations coming to a head in full blown heresy, the most popular of which (which was also what the most powerful among society believed in the wake of the legalization) was arianism which reduced Christ to some created thing, denying His divinity and this had to be addressed in collecting everything they knew justifiably about the son of God

Looking at them was enough to make humans go insane, die or outright turn into dust.

There a biblical contexts where a single angel would completely eradicate armies of humans hundreds of thousands strong in the span of a single night. Or a single angel tasked with guarding the garden of Eden to keep mankind out anymore was all that was needed as he could see every instance of its boundaries and strike that all he could be seen as was a single sword that was on fire. Or that their voices would quake the very atomic structure of the universe when they sang in unison. None of them looked human, either. The closest they got was some had, among their 4 heads, a human one (made in the image of God in the first place) or that they have 4 limbs.

"Do not be afraid." Every wondered why every angel said that first thing to man whenever they had to tell them something?

It's not difficult. Just reference a literal translation (YLT works) and, if you're balls are made of steel, the OJB. That will tell you everything you need to know about specifics. Also, the most appropriated version, NLT (the opposite of literal, one that translates slangs and uncommon word uses from the native language/time period into something we'd better understand).

Satan means "adversary." Sometimes this is used to describe a single entity, other times it is used in general for all opposition.

But the point of Satan is like so: all sticks are meant to not break, but this means nothing if none of these sticks are tested. Satan is the one that give them the ole bend test.

>>390116152
>tasked to do so
I doubt that. Consider the story of Job. Over and over, Satan begs to fuck Job's shit up for no reason just to prove that he isn't actually righteous. And Job withstands pretty much all of it: losing his family, losing his wealth, losing his health - everything. And he remains righteous until his pricks that he called friends come up and tell him to repent for something he didn't do. That was Job's breaking point - not anything Satan did, but being falsely accused.

But Satan was a real fucking jerk there.

What was the leviathan?

>>390116478
About Job, does anyone understand God's answer to Job?

i dont think satan is a jerk at any time in the bible. with job he basically said to god 'your followers only praise you because you bless them. if you take away their blessings they will reject you.'

which satan proved pretty will with job who ended up breaking at the very end. the only reason job doesnt reject god at the end is, like you said, god basically says he can do anything he wants, and job can either accept it or get fucked. and job just sits in his inequity and powerlessness and gives up, realizing all he can do is try to be on the good side of god who does whatever he wants.

whos the jerk in that story? satan? cause it seems like all he did was prove a point that gods jewish followers didnt love him. they loved his blessings. god bullying the fuck out of job didnt disprove this either.

>>390118512
Job passed all of Satan's tests. With every last one of his blessings stripped, and left to suffer with afflictions of the flesh, Job refused to turn from righteousness. He proved God's point.

Then his former friends showed up, unrelated to Satan's test, and left false accusations that eventually led Job to blasphemy. Remember that like 30 of the 42 chapters are Job insisting he hadn't done wrong, and his friends countering, "If you hadn't done wrong, this wouldn't have happened!"

Heck, it's so popular that it has entered pop-culture with all sorts of misunderstandings, like people (Blizzard) pretending that the offspring of angels and humans are the nephalim, when in actuality the nephalim are most likely giants who separately existed before this point and after.

youre missing the point completely. it doesnt matter if it is satans test or not. satans point was that faith depends on blessings. it doesnt matter if satan directly took those blessing or not.

when jobs friends denounced him, job snaps. one of the reasons he snaps is because he believes god has forsaken him, which causes a crisis of the faith for job, only cured by god intervening.

if god didnt come down in a fiery tornado, it is unclear what job would have done. god intervenes to stop whatever might have happened. but its clear that blessings are a necessity for followers of god, not just because of providing a reason to follow god, but because they are the only way god shows his followers that they are worshiping him properly.

if you take away the blessings, all that is left is feelings of forsakeness, and confusion.

validating satans point, that without blessings, gods followers will not follow him.

I liked the story about the men who tried to rape a girl and acuse her of being a whore. I forgot about it.

the reason it gets to him is because he feels god has forsaken him, because of his blessings disappearing, compounded with them repeatedly saying that he is upsetting god.

he is starting to be convinced, but it makes a lot of sense, why else would god take everything form him unless he was upsetting god. it takes a lot to get to job, but eventually he feels either god has forsaken him, he has done something wrong, or that god is in someway committing an evil on him.

the friends speaking to him are the proverbial hair that breaks his back.

Since I singled you out in my last point, I'll also correct you directly.

>Angels. Divine creations of God that are not "man." 100% always male, and apparently capable of knocking up man's hot thots.
Correct. Although, any diligent scholar will be quick to point out that "bnei HaElohim" or "Sons of God" is a different term used from the hundreds of other times angels are referenced (angels are called "malach" or "messengers" 99.9% of the time).

Now,
>Nephilim
The HaNefilim are not the bnei HaElohim. They are spoken of separately and spoken of as existing separately. At this point in the Bible, we know practically nothing else about them. Their only other mention is in Numbers or something around there when the Exodus refugees see "giant HaNefilim" and must fight them.

Numbers 13:33:
>And there we saw the Nephilim, the Bnei Anak, which come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

The children of humans and angels are specifically called "gibborim" - "which were of old, men of renown."

This whole post is why I find reading the OJB to be essential for not losing meaning in translation. They leave nouns untranslated, in their original forms, to prevent misunderstanding.

old testament god was a very different god then the one we think of when we imagine christianity now.

he was violent, jealous, selfish, and even apparently lost a battle to another god after a king sacrificed his first born child to Chemosh(?) to drive out the isrealites.

the reason pharaoh didnt let moses and his people go is because god essentially mind controlled him into not letting them go by 'hardening his heart'.

he wasnt the kind of god you really wanted, he was more the kind of god you wanted to not piss off, and hope he would bless you, but even that was a gamble because he basically did what he wanted.

I remember it. I remember they did nothing, while he gave them such a thrashing it should be illegal.

Albeit, you are right in that sorcery was always considered present and sinful in the Bible. The only time it was ever linked to a higher power (instead of just sorcery itself) is in Rev. when the Beast is granted the power to do miracles and bestow upon his followers the same.

Those arguing in favor of the ark truly taking every animal will argue multiple things:
1) God says "kind" of animal, which doesn't necessarily mean each specific animal. It can go up as far as Genus or Family on the evolutionary scale (those the offspring are generally impotent).
2) It doesn't include insects or water beasts or plants. All could exist in the waters or on top in vegetative floats
3) It doesn't explicitly say the animals needed to be full grown! They could be "teen" animals.
4) They could be in prolonged hibernation and not require as much food
5) Animal waste could be easily flushed on a globe of water, not a problem to keep disease at bay
6) If it includes dinosaurs, there doesn't have to be all of them
7) Birds just need a place to roost

A global flood is disproven in the fossil and sedimentary record, in any case.

the old testament is written in a way that occasionally implies, or could imply either other gods, or magic existing. this contradicts with other parts where, for instance in isiah god says 'I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me'

however in kings, isreal goes to fight the king of moab, winning decisvely until the king sacrifices his son to his god, which unleashes a 'indignation' onto isreal driving them out:

'Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.'

the way this is written is such that it could be interpreted in different ways, i suppose, but to me it seems an odd loss in what should have been a decisive victory for the isrealites who had god behind them, and is never really explained.

>>390121442
A more clear example could simply be between Moses and Pharoah's court mages and how Moses turned his staff into a snake, just like they all did. The deciding factor was Moses' staff/snake ate all the other snakes before Moses grabbed it by the tail and it became his staff again.

>>390121442
>occasionally implies, or could imply either other gods, or magic existing
I agree with magic, but not gods. The entire point of Egypt in Genesis and later the plagues against the Pharaoh in Exodus, as well as Daniel and other Judges, is about disproving other gods. Magic, or rather sorcery, is often present - and commented on, even up to Revelations, where those who practice sorcery are not allowed into the New City.

But "gods" is something that the Bible repeatedly goes out of the way towards shitting on as not existing. Daniel, Moses, Elijah in the pic of >>390121251 - all of it about there being no other gods. Hell, there are times when Israelites rebel against God, so the Lord gladly joins the enemy side to thrash the Israelites until they repent.

monotheism would have been a tough claim to make in the time the bible was written. there are certainly some parts that support that claim, but i doubt it would be so consistent. again its been a while since i read the book, but a quick google search on polytheism in the bible gives three verses right off the bat:

For [Jehovah] is the great God, and the great King above all gods (Ps. 95:3).

All the gods bow down before [Jehovah] (Ps. 97:7).

I know [Jehovah] is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods. (Ps. 135:5)

yet in isiah he claims there is no other gods, or as you say that they are false gods. being superior to is certainly a far different thing to say than 'the other gods are false'.

>>390122068
>there used to be some other gods
>God made it so that there are none other than him

>>390122068
those could just as easily be taken figuratively like so:
He's superior to all gods because all those other ones don't exist.
All the gods figuratively bow down before Jehovah because they're fucking lies who aren't worth shit.
great God, King above all those gods who don't exist.

I mean, they really shit on the idea of there being other gods. Let's consider Gideon, whose people revoked the Lord for pagan gods because their people were strong.

Gideon destroys their Ba'al alter and tears out the Asherah pole, and Gideon's father defends him with pic related. "If Ba'al's real, then let him strike Gideon down." Of course, nothing.

I'm including the Jerub-baal part because that sass is off the charts.

>>390122068
>monotheism would have been a tough claim to make in the time the bible was written
I agree. Even in Gideon's own tale, after all the lengths he goes through to disprove Ba'al and repeatedly prove the Lord, the second he dies, the people of Israel immediately go back to Ba'al.

>33 As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites prostituted themselves by worshiping the images of Baal, making Baal-berith their god. 34 They forgot the Lord their God, who had rescued them from all their enemies surrounding them. 35 Nor did they show any loyalty to the family of Jerub-baal (that is, Gideon), despite all the good he had done for Israel.

To the rest, cycle through translations and really read the quotes. For example, the literal translation of Psalms 97:7 is
>7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
It's clearly ridicule and boasting, not simply an acknowledgement of their existence. Other passages also treat the "empty idols" themselves as gods - not in power or our meaning, but "your god is a powerless block of wood" to which the Lord is, of course, greater.

Without knowing a thing about what you're talking about, Nyx is sort of a big deal in Greek stuff.

>>390124590
She's not Nyx, she's "The Darkness" as in, if God is The Light, then she is the Darkness before that.

>>390124063
Supernatural after season 5 is shit, but Nyx in Greek myth was the primordial darkness that existed before anything. She even scared Zeus shitless.

>She's not Nyx, she's "The Darkness"

>>390124804
Yes, but the show doesn't deal with Greek mythology, not that I recall at least since judeo-christian took over everything, and I don't think Nyx is referred to as the sister of the Christian God. Feel free to correct me though, as to not deviate from the topic.

Seems strange to mix Greek/Roman with an Abrahamic religion

>>390124737
Isn't there a passage that said God was both the Light to guide the way and the Dark to give you shade?

>>390124984
They've dealt with other mythologies before. I stopped watching after season 5, but even then they had the convention of pagan gods trying to stall the Apocalypse. I wouldn't be shocked if they just started mixing shit together so they could include a strong independent spooky eldritch womyn.

>>390125071
Abrahamic religion has been mixed with Greco-Roman religion ever since it gained traction in Rome. You know how in the past, people used to call god 'Jove'? Jove was a Roman name for Zeus. It's also where the Christian god gets his depiction as an old bearded man in the clouds flinging lightning at sinners.
