Just so you know I don't think it applies even if it wasnt but I'm just curious I've heard many people say it was but I want to fact check

So I've heard many open Christian's don't see the bible as morally authoritative which I agree with but then that begs the problem if sin isn't about the bible how do we define it? What do we have to repent of?

He basically says I don't believe God doesn't exists I am not dying physically therefore God doesn't exist

I'm not trying to be legalistic I just need to know if I have to repent of it I mean God told me it was ok but that could've been brain chemicals so I gotta double check

Like is there one that has the historical context and explains authorial intent and stuff like that

I'm not catholic im just intrested

Like in exodus cannan the flood psalms job etc etc I know he's righteous but how is killing an entire city or drowning the world morally correct?

Hello I personally hold to no as in scirpture it says you can't serve both God and wealth(Matthew 6:24) and thus have to get rid of the wealth and put it towards serving God(Matthew 19) and so I'm wondering how any Christian capitalist reinterpret these clear verses condemning wealth and by capitalism I mean anything Kent hovid does or says

Hello everyone I am having trouble being Christian in a capitalist society due to how it is based on the sin of greed and money idolatry but due to how it works I'm forced to participate in it has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it?

Why is it so convoluted and weird?
Is the trinity exist?
Doesn’t Jesus constantly say the father and I are one?
What about all the inconsistencies between different versions of texts?
How can earth be hell if it is nothing like the hell jesus preached of(Gehenna)
What relation does this have to cannanite mythology if any?
How does one get saved in gnosticism?
Is there a church or any worship stuff?
How could the aions let all the gnostic text be lost for so long?
are the Gods all powerful all loving all knowing etc and if not how can they be Gods?
Sorry if I’m overwhelming you I just have lots of questions but overall I’ve gotta say Gnosticism makes a lot more sense than traditional Christianity and finally has a truthful answer to the question why did God kill all those kids for laughing at a bald man

Thoughts?

And also how do you maintain your faith after learning the Bible is very ahistorical contradictory and inconsistent

Basically I have a question about the story of Moses. Was it created by man to attract new followers or is it a story by God in order to teach us the danger of idolatry or are there anachronisms due to oral tradition because as you probably know historical evidence points towards Moses either not existing or being heavily mythologized(as there is cannan syncretism during the time of Moses so he couldn’t have been in Egypt) also if Moses isn’t real then how can we trust the 10 commandments

What I mean by this is are they speaking on behalf of God or are they preserving the teachings of God and if it’s the latter how can we know which teachings/events are real and which are mythologized in?

By Sheol I mean the place of the damned such as a non literal view of hell like seperation from God Adam’s punishment etc
And by Gehenna I mean the literal view of hell

By framework I mean how to view and understand what why and how the authors were trying to do for example a southern Baptist might say the Bible is a set of rules made by God or a Jewish person might say the Bible is the isrealites documenting their experience with God now both of these frameworks have innerancy and I was wondering what framework allows for errancy and I know I should choose the framework but idk any other frameworks and that’s why I’m asking

I learned how the Bible is bullshit and I don’t know if I can stay Christian like it’s so inconsistent and icorherent and contradictory and I really wanna stay Christian does anyone know how resolve this issue

Why do they portray us as heretics who deny the Bible when many of the people here are very well versed in how the Bible supports universalism why do this?
