It’s so interesting to see reactions of horror triggered by a mention of kindness suddenly putting one’s own actions into perspective.

More like "what didn't we do?"

Am I right?

Like 90% of what he told us to do, for starters.

If Jesus were to show up on an alien planet would He be incarnate as an alien

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes.

The question is, would he be alien to us or them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Might also depend - were these aliens created also in God's image? Do they have original sin?

we enshrined his torture and put it literally everywhere. you think that might have anything to do with it?

It's not like all humankind suffers and he is a relatable representation of our own suffering. Kind of like Iron Man or other heroes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Well, Iron Man was crucified for our sins.

As was James T. Kirk.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Iron Man had the best last words of the three.

I mean, he got better so it's nbd right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

He forgives us if we come to Him :)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well people said if he comes back he's going to slaughter all of us, maybe making him afraid to come back is the point? Haha

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Only those who don't like Him

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Nah, hes supposed to take all of the ones that followed him to heaven to, so everyone dies right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The rapture is unbiblical anyway. None of this really comes from the actual text - it’s squinting and connecting random unconnected Bible verses.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (3 children)

We're not talking about the rapture, we're talking about the second coming.

The rapture is the unbiblical doctrine that all of the people who are saved will just disappear and the rest will be left behind.

Actually only the souls of the saved go to heaven. The bodies stay behind, and without any clear cause of death they become feral animals that sublimate their previously-ennobled desire for human togetherness into a simple guttural desire to consume human flesh.

The rest of us unrepentant sinners are left conscious among this new sea of soulless flesh, to defend ourselves against their ravenous teeth.

The saved man does not live on bread alone. He also desires communion, and Jesus has left the building.
