I'm not religious but seems pedantic. God didn't consider Adam his son. It was just a creation. Jesus is his son, which is something that has to be made "with" a person apparently.

Also I still ascribe to the belief that old testament god and new testament god are different characters.

Yeah the idea with Jesus is he was supposed to enter the world like a normal person, be raised by parents, etc. There’s a theological concept of him being god experiencing humanity fully, that includes temporarily being cut off from things like omniscience

Followed then by being a child sacrifice, the last child sacrifice.

It’s an amazing allegory and the imagery is wonderful but … it’s just a story

If you get into the catechism, there is a very explicit attempt by both the Catholics and the Gnostics to claim Adam and Jesus are iterations of the same original concept of a perfected man. The gnostics get extra funky with it, claiming that there are a host of good and evil spiritual beings constantly at struggle with one another. And Adam and Jesus are iterations of this struggle, as these countervailing forces tangle up with one another. The Catholics just cut through it all and insist "There's one God and he's always winning and anything that looks like its going bad is just part of his plan because he can't lose".

But if you get into Revelations, you see a lot more of the Gnostic theory leak in. And if you actually start digging into Gnostic texts, you end up with something more akin to Zoroastrianism than modern Christianity.

Also I still ascribe to the belief that old testament god and new testament god are different characters.

They definitely aren't written consistently. But how else did you think a 4000 year old chain letter was going to shake out?

sorry, is there any writing.. that said god needs maria?

[–] dustyData 3 points 4 months ago

Not her specifically, but some woman as Jesus was to be God's one and only direct son. As in, not made by magic but born out of a person, to be and live as a mortal. So God asked this woman and she said yes, because of the implication.

Good just wants to fuck. Why else are girls so sexy? Checkmate Christians.

The trolling response is obvious if you grew up around teenagers playing with this idea:

  1. Men developed faster than women.
  2. Men started as women in the womb then were able to develop past it.
  3. God created a first draft in Adam, then said "i bet I could do it better a 2nd time, and I won't start from scratch this time"
  4. There is always a first child when it comes to siblings. "rolls eyes"
  5. Well Adam was the first, so there was no bloodlust. Due to eating the fruit, well there was a grudge match scheduled for having the time-out from paradise and introduction of death/bad/good/children - The terms of the grudge match were laid out: fruit of the woman to crush the snake.

God owed Naughtius Maximus a favor.

Probably same reason that you can't send file to your friend using localhost.
