There's something about "Christian" family entertainment I loathe. It always has this wholesome retard vibe to it, as if goofiness is a Christian virtue.
I'm all for entertainment, great, but the only Christian approved way is if people look silly. I don't see the value anymore

If you read 1 and 2 kings, a whole bunch of it is God settling scores with wicked people over and over again. Often it is after the death of the person who was wronged, but God had vengeance
-
This leads me to another point of contention. That the Israelites are consistently commanded to genocide and benefit themselves, later gentile Christianz are commanded obedience, submission, and to wait. Polar opposites really. Seems a dichotomy of character

The Israelites are Christians in my opinion. There is a lot of different information. Some people think that Whites are the Israelites (we wuz) which is why when we build nations, we innovate and few other races besides perhaps the Asians are capable of such marvels. I would find it hard to believe that God chose some of the most dysgenic, wicked creatures on the planet to be "His chosen people". Indeed, He did say that they were of their father, the devil (John 8:44-45). This leads me to wonder if this is a statement of fact, as in kikes are of the devil's seed. But, I don't know enough about genealogy and to be frank it's not really my interest or wheelhouse.
I've witnessed true miracles, both in the corporeal realm, so to speak, and within people's hearts. I have saved a life on more than one occasion, with nothing more than an opportunity and a feeling in my heart to drive me to do so. If I could take such a feeling and mold it in my hands before presenting it to you, I think that would be the best proof I could provide of Christ's existence as God.
The fact of the matter is that God literally can do whatever He wants. We as humans tend to jump the gun. Perhaps leaving vengeance to the Lord is not so much about taking the control out of your hands, but reminding you to stick to His voice and discernment for the right time to drive the stake through the heart of your enemy, so to speak. To enact revenge.
It's also important to remember the scope of what you can see. Would you rather cut off the petal of a weed so that it can grow back, or would you rather tear it from the ground at the root? We see the small picture, but acting foolishly and haphazardly may do us more harm than good. I think God wants to give us great things, but we just have to stop fucking it up.

Doesn't Christianity teach both submission by slaves to their masters, and to do good to those who would persecute you? Does it not also teach an eschatology where Jesus returns and handles business after an unstoppable prescribed series of events?
Im genuinely trying to engage this and not do any "gotcha stuff"
-
But its literally commanded by Jesus and his disciples that you don't fight back against those who would harm you. "Do good" to those who would do evil to you is an approximate. The core of this theology are verses like "vengeance is mine saith the Lord" and "turn the other cheek" etc. I know people would like to twist that into something else but the theology presupposes a destined universe where Jesus returns and judges everything and Christians are commanded to do good and spread the gospel and await Jesus coming judgement
-
Vengeance is God's. But that doesn't mean God doesn't use people to enact it.
-
That's the point of Christianity. It's literally a religion of "wait until God does something about it, don't fight back because he has a plan, have faith"
It's designed to prevent action. It's like AIDS but for spirituality
-
No, that's the retard Christianity
It wasn't Christianity for hundreds of years
