This book is a real snooze

[Anonymous No.13673191]

For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men.

To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

Well I mean it has its moments but there are only so many procedures regarding the cleansing of lepers that a guy can stand to read.

Judges is literally an action movie

Judges 3:15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. 16But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh. 17And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man. 18And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. 19But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. 20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: 22And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. 23Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

Whether it was one particular event or a series of experiences that lead to this moment, where you thought this was a good idea to post, just know, that I am so sorry that these things happened and I'll be praying for you tonight.

No-one should have to suffer being this mentally challenged where they create the most unoriginal, dullard, cumbrain thread. May God have mercy on your soul.

Basedboys are edgy atheists, how can you mess up even the most basic of memes. Do I need to call you an ambulance before you strangle yourself with the wireless mouse?

But it doesn't work? Unless you're just stabbing in the dark with memes & trying to escape your truth. Anyway, if you need to carry on deflecting you go ahead but I hope you find peace soon.

Which part in particular? After finishing it I realised that some parts I originally thought were over-laboured / heavy in the writing were actually key.

Uh, all of Leviticus. The fucking Census. The measurements of Solomon's temple and palace? Just to name a few.

I believed for a while, mostly flipping through the Epistles to form my views. Then I heard about Pauline Christianity, like he memed Jesus into a deity years after his death. This, and some of the Epistles authenticity being questioned, fucked my faith right up.

deism is the only theologically sound form of theism, outside of that just join whatever religion for the cultural rituals

I keep seeing only right winger tier posts getting caught by this filter. Think about what that means for you, invader.

The true lack luster male would be the one that adopts a slave race's religion that tells him literally fun is bad.

> So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Watch your mouth. Don't you know that Shakespeare himself learnt his craft from the Bible?

>Shakespeare’s worked is peppered with references to the Bible, and though he had no involvement in the Authorised Version, he knew his Bible well and his work was greatly influenced by it.

Maybe you're not ready for it yet. I used to think the classics were snoozes before I grew up and learned to truly appreciate classic works.
