@SKracket @MeBigbrain HEY THATS A FIXIE HIPSTER TAKE, CADENCE ANALYSIS AND POWER CURVE GRAPHING IS IMPORTANT TO BICYCLE DESIGN
AND THERE'S A CHASM OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIAGRAMMING SENTENCES AND RECOGNIZING THAT MOST OF OT IS WRITTEN IN THE BRONZE AGE COLLAPSE BY AND TOWARD PEOPLE WITH THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS OF THEIR DAY AND PLACE THAT A MODERN AMERICAN JUST DOESN'T HAVE
A MODERN AMERICAN READS THE ISRAELITES HAVING MADE THE GOLDEN CALF THEN "SAT DOWN TO EAT AND ROSE UP TO PLAY" AND ENVISIONS A FRISBEE GAME AT THE FAMILY BARBECUE, NOT A BACHANALIA
THERE IS INHERENT VALUE IN KNOWING THE CONTEXT OF THINGS YOU CARE ABOUT BECAUSE NOTHING AUTHENTIC EXISTS IN A VACUUM
AUTHENTICITY ITSELF CAN BE SEEN AS CONTEXT OF ORIGIN BAKED INTO THE OBJECT, LIKE TOOL MARKS AND NICKS AND DENTS
-
ok, but if i made a joke about people obsessing over changes in the understanding of pedaling a bicycle you wouldn't go off on me and call me a marcionist would you?
read the bible all you want, but when you start diagramming sentances and bringing in tendentious historical analysis in to help your "spiritual" growth you're being a little silly
-
if you're not telling everyone how much Christianity you consume are you even a follower of Christ?
-
@SKracket @MeBigbrain WELL WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO POST
I POST WHAT I CARE ABOUT
SOMETIMES ITS BICYCLE SOMETIMES ITS AGRICULTURE SOMETIMES ITS FAMILY
IF NOT THINGS IMPORTANT TO ME IT WOULD ALL BE DALLAS SALLAD
WHEN IM READAN ME GOOD OLE HAWAIIAN PIDGIN BIBLE OR I LISTEN TO A PODCAST ON MY FORTY HOUR COMMUTE TO WORK -- YOUR GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT
-
AND WHO CAN FORGET WHEN JESUS SAID YE SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD LEST YE BECOME LIKE THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES? OR THAT WONDERFUL BIBLE STORY ABOUT HOW HE MADE THE APOSTLES MEMORIZE HIS GENEOLOGY BEFORE SENDING THEM OUT TO PREACH? ALL GOOD STUFF, ALL VERY IMPORTANT, JUST READING IT GETS YOU CLOSER TO GOD THE BOOK.
I dunno nugger, lots of people seem to think Christ becoming man, living, dying and then resurrecting was meeting us on our terms.
You can make whatever connections you want with bible verses nugger, it's just words, your thoughts are what unite it with truth. And just reading the bible won't make you love the truth more. That's painfully obvious whenever you go to church. But hey, keep holding onto that life raft that was built for you and never try to swim.

@SKracket @nugger >"become like the scribes and pharisees"
Terminally online e-Christians eternally vindicated
-
Moar like
THOSE CLEVER SILLIES WHO THINK MEMORIZING HISTORICAL ARCANA IS WORTH MORE THAN A PURE HEART. NOT LIKE MY ANCESTORS WHO SHUT THOSE LOSERS UP IN MONASTERIES SO THEY DIDN'T BOTHER ANYONE WITH THEIR OCD WORD GAMES.

@SKracket I ALWAYS SAID IT DON'T MATTER WHAT GOD YOU BELIEVE IN SO LONG AS YOU ABIDE BY THE UNIVERSAL NATURAL AND SELF EVIDENT NINETEEN HUNDREDS MIDDLE CLASS EUROPEAN LIBERAL VALUES
BECAUSE IF IT DID MATTER AND WAS IMPORTANT THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO CARE ABOUT IT
WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO CARE ABOUT THE PERSON AND CHARACTER OF THE GOD WE WORSHIP RATHER THAN JUST CLAIMING A GROUP LABEL AND GOING ALONG WITH THE FLOW OF MAINSTREAM CULTURE AS OUR MORAL GUIDE
AND THAT WOULD SUCK FOR CHRISTIANS ESPECIALLY
CAUSE OUR GOD SAID THAT LITERALLY ALL OF OUR SCRIPTURES IS ABOUT HIM, TABERNACLE DIMENSIONS AND ALL -- IT ALL DISCLOSES HIS CHARACTER
IMAGINE ACTUALLY HAVING TO READ THE DANG THING ITS CHOKE FULL OF APPLES OF MY EYE AND SKINS OF MY TEETH
JACOB WRESTLES WITH JESUS CHRIST AND GETS SOME JOINT DISLOCATED AND THE TEXT GOES THEREFORE WE DON'T EAT THAT PART ON ANIMALS AS IF ITS SOMETHING OBVIOUS AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED
AND THEN PAUL BRINGS THE SAME IDEA BACK UP IN AN EPISTLE OF HIS WITH NOT MUZZLING THE OX TREADING OUT THE GRAIN
ITS REALLY THE KIND OF STUFF THAT COULD SEND AN ETHIOPIAN REELING
-
@SKracket WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO BE A LITTLE MARCIONIST
TONE DOWN THIS BIBLE STUDF JUST A JOT OR TITTLE
AFTER ALL ITS ALL FULFILLED WHICH MEANS ABOLISHED AND PAUL IS WRONG TO BRING UP THAT OX THING
IT SUCKS TO HAVE YOUR GOD UNCIRCUMSCRIBED AND UNCONTAINED, WHO MEETS YOU ON HIS TERMS NOT YOURS
WOULDN'T IT BE NICER TO JUST HAVE JESUS BE WHAT YOU NEED HIM TO
LIBTARD JESUS, STRONG SUPPORTER OF BRITISH MONARCHY JESUS, ANARCHIST JESUS
WE COULD PUT HIM IN A COUPLE DEFINED PLACES
DRAW HIM DOWN OUTTA THE SKY TO US
MAKE A BODY FOR HIM, MAKE HIM DO TRICKS
NO WONDER PRIMITIVE MONOTHEISM GAVE WAY TO PAGANISM AND IDOLATRY THE WHOLE WORLD OVER
HOW DO YOU BRIBE AN OMNIPOTENT GOD
THE PETTY LOCAL SPIRITS SEEM TO CONVENIENTLY WANT ALL THE STUFF PEOPLE WANT
NOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ARRANGED FOR
BUT I WON'T SPOIL YOU THE REST OF THE PODCAST

Tonight's programming.
Christians waste time splitting hairs over obscure ancient laws at 10
then at 11,
Are lawyers the perfection of the human being? Here's why.
-
@SKracket AH THOSE IGNORANT SIMPLETONS, SO UNINTELLIGENT AND UNREFINED
LIKE MY PREMODERN ANCESTORS
IF ONLY THEY HAD EPIC BACON SCIENCE TO BASE THEIR WORLDVIEW ON, THEN THEY WOULDN'T NEED TO PUT SUCH IMPORTANCE ON RUDYARD KIPLING TIER FABLES OF WHERE THE SUN GOES AT NIGHT

What is the inherent spiritual value of knowing historical context? And does it apply to other religious history or just bible history? For example, does knowing the historical context of St Francis of Assisi have spiritual value?
