That Jacob was a thief and covetous and loved by God, tells the truth that God is human. |

The cherished sibling reveals deceit, envy, and covetousness, even demanding the birthright in exchange for a meal. Esau, realizing the consequences, opts for survival, yet faces blame for losing both birthright and blessings. It becomes evident that blaming Esau stems from bias, as approaching it impartially would lead to judging God. |

The Bible acknowledges human inability to live above sin, suggesting that the sole pathway to heaven is through grace—a concept interpreted as favoritism. An analogy is drawn where a criminal was discharged and acquitted because he danced naked before the judge, akin to David's actions. [color=#8AA100]There's skepticism about believers receiving a fair trial before the judgment throne, given perceived shortcomings in God's basic concept of justice. Instances like God cursing the seduced and tricked Adam, Eve, and the snake, while sparing the devil, raise questions about consistency.[/color] [color=#AF1900]The narrative includes God cursing Cain and his potential killer, along with a drunken curse on a son's generation, sanctioned by God. Numerous examples within "the holy texts" lead to the conclusion that a reevaluation of how divine judgment is dispensed may be warranted.[/color] Despite claims that God reevaluates through grace, the interpretation remains contentious. [color=#7EA700]The concern is that grace could save the wrongdoer, like the serial killer, while condemning the victims to eternal punishment. Examples such as David and Bathsheba or Jacob and Esau illustrate a paradox in which grace seems to favor the offender and neglect the harmed.[/color] In this perspective, no matter the colorful interpretations of "grace," it ultimately implies that God overlooks one's faults but condemns another. 1 Like |

The contents of the Red Sea might encompass various artifacts, but the crucial question is whether any were authenticated as belonging to the Israelites. Egyptians meticulously documented their history, yet none of their records make mention of the presence of any Israelites, or a Pharoah dying at sea, and most especially the 10 plagues. No now, the plagues would have been literally told over and over again. The Bible's claims about the actions of the Israelites are fabrications, plagiarized stories from other cultures. A notable example is the depiction of the Ark of the Covenant carried by Africans on African temple walls. [color=#EA7199]This is an instance of a factual matter open to verification, but believers, often unfamiliar with the historical intricacies of their faith, tend to refute rather than acknowledge their limited understanding.[/color] 1 Like |

The stories that tell of a holy but punitive God are written to keep believers subjugated and unable to do the needful. Bible verses such as the one that features the Egyptian Ruler who never existed and the plagues which is a fat lie encourage believers to fold their arms and watch their adversaries, rulers make their lives worse, till the believers in their hypocrisy begin to contemplate suicide, steal or worse while believing that God would punish them. Fortunately for their adversaries or rulers, they live in affluence at the detriment of the gullible hope-fools, guaranteeing that their generations unborn would also live in affluence while leaving the believers poor with nothing but the hope that they would be punished for stealing from them eventually after death as they could testify that they have not witnessed any plagues visited upon them . Well, it would be ironic if believers were to end up in hell just as the affluent. This belief is as stupid as the tale of God and his imaginative discriminatory punitiveness. *** One should demand better but believers have been taught to remain unaccountable for their experience of life but ride it out like a balloon at sea, letting whoever do whatsoever while getting tossed about, with their irresponsibility announced by their slogan: God Will Judge!!! In Summary. [color=#FEA099] The narratives depicting a strict, divine figure aim to control believers, discouraging them from taking necessary actions. Verses like the one featuring a non-existent Egyptian ruler and fabricated plagues foster passivity, allowing rulers to exploit believers. Ironically, the hope that their oppressors will face divine retribution after death leaves believers impoverished. Challenging this irrational belief and demanding accountability is crucial, as the "God Will Judge!!!" slogan perpetuates irresponsibility in navigating life's challenges. [/color] 1 Like 1 Share |
