Now of of course the hard Christian Right in the US thinks the OT belongs to the NT - which it doesn't. Marcion knew as much 2000 years ago, rejecting the demi-God of the OT.
But now we know human awareness of God is an ongoing revelation; and that all extant scripture is nothing other than the word of men in search of God in places and times long past. In our modern globally connected world we urgently need worship of One God which all men ascribe to.
Admittedly, Marcion believed Jesus was God, and appeared as an apparition during His 33 years on earth (and hence Marcion had no need of the false Trinity doctrine, and he certainly rejected the OT revelation of Moses' God..."a Man of War"); the truth is Jesus, like Mahomet, were human teachers. Today we need new teachers, to deal with climate change and loss of biodiversity. People like Greta and David Attenborough are remarkable spokespersons in this regard.
t.g.d I reiterate:
The Bible tells Christians that God is a spirit of righteousness, who loves mankind and the Kingdom of God is within you.
Man utters the words of the Bible driven by his innermost feelings.
Christianity is light years ahead of the ancient O.T. laws etc. as it is founded on the principle of, the ancient laws are superseded by faith in Christ.
islam on the other hand has a very different explanation of allah, he is a god of hatred, he urges his followers to rape torture and slaughter the non believers until all religion is for allah.
These precepts are all valid today 2021.
That is why muslims are the worlds greatest terrorist threat, why they rape torture and slaughter innocent men women and children while singing the praises of allah, they appease allah today 2021 with human sacrifice.
Quote:"Chosen people", "Promised land" and authorization of genocide by the OT bronze-age "God", are inventions of your namesake, in the bronze age. Such concepts today are illegal under international law.
That's why Greta and the whole world are against the illegal occupation of East Jerusalem and the WB.
Why isn't she against the muslims and the teachings in the qur'an which tell them to rape torture and kill non believers until all religion is for allah?
Quote:And Greta repeatedly says we should be listening to the scientists, she is not seeking personal gain.
Yeah right you mean the *Pro Whiteman caused climate change* scientists.
There are people who realize that climate change is a natural cyclical phase of the earth, there has been 5 (from memory) mass extinctions on earth in our 1,000,000s of years history.
Quote:In our modern globally connected world we urgently need worship of One God which all men ascribe to.
The bible predicts and warns against this, as man will choose the wrong god and man to represent said wrong god.
