Question of the Day: Wild Religious Takes
What is the most insane religious take that you’ve ever heard?
Oh wow.

A Christian Facebook post saying that allegorical, metaphorical passages in Proverbs and elsewhere in the Bible prove scientific facts that would later be discovered. One example it showed was that Romans 12:2 which says "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" is the Bible predicting the eventual discovery of neuroplasticity in neuroscience. How do we go from figurative language meant to convey spiritual lessons to a neurological discovery? How can u even prove this is apparently such a prophecy without admitting that you are just interpreting it that way?
Reminds me of this
Tell that to your Christian brethren on FB who think it is a parallel prophecy for 20th century science 🫠
This was only one of the many examples they gave too lol
Ooh, u don't hold to biblical inerrancy?
All the Christians I am around are total diehard biblical inerrancists because they are evangelical protestants
Ma 1st meeting with an Anglican! Probe time lol. What's your theory on the purpose of Jesus' death? PSA? Satisfaction theory? Etc?

When Anglican Protestant Orthodox and Evangelical argue
I was raised with and only really learned about PSA. I can't unsee its barbarity now 🥲
If I had to pick one, I personally like moral influence theory the most although I am not a believer
I think Christus Victor is 2nd place
What kinds of groups of Christians do u consider heretical?
LGBT
Oh wait I read that wrong

Yeah they don’t
The 3 creeds are? Like, aside from Apostle's Creed or Niceaen Creed? Or something else?
Ooh, as in Athanasius of Alexandria? Gotta read that 1
You know Paul changed the whole scripts right? So it means the New Testament is modified
wdym it’s proven that Paul changed the bible
New Testament modified the old one
In fact the Old Testament mentioned world peace in the arrival of the Messiah
It would directly contradict Jesus as Messiah but the New Testament modified it
Am I wrong?
It is cuz the original text was replaced by Paul
We challenge Christianity as a whole
That’s the point of the server
Along with Islam and other religions
What do you mean by that
Because I don’t understand it fully I fear
Why do you believe Christianity
What was that experience
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_religious_experience?wprov=sfti1
Are you perhaps referring to this?
Because a spiritual experience doesn’t mean Jesus is god yknow?
That would be a silly conclusion
So what convinced you of the existence of god and god in human form (Jesus)?
This is an extremely weak argument
Are you sure that's what you're going with?
Why your intuiton claims Islam is false and that Christianity isn't?
I see you live in America, if you lived in the Middle East you would likely be a muslim
And if you lived in India you would be a Hindu
Completely Invalid
A muslim would tell you his intuiton proves that Allah exists and that Muhammad is his messenger
Would you accept such claim? that's what they claim.
If Intuition is a valid form of knowledge, then their intuition of belief in Islam is valid
But you would still disagree with a person that claims it
wouldn't you?
It proves absolutely nothing, that's the point
especially not in relation to the creation of the universe
that's why there's 7000 religions not one or two or three
