What's the point of reading the Old Testament?

To learn about what YHVH thinks you should do with the flesh of thy foreskin.

I can't really think of any explanation better than this, based on how it's applied to modern society.

It doesn't, you've never read the Bible.

>> No.20533613

Let's be honest, anons. Who read the whole bible cover to cover? And who did just the new testament? I mean every word, not skipping parts. I reckon most didn't and never will.

I have. People who say you "shouldn't read it like a novel" are just sophists who want you to fall for their cherry picking of biblical passages.

> I reckon most didn't and never will.
most people are NPC's and can't be expected to deeply engage with incredibly complex subjects beyond surface level, if at all. But I'd rather have christian-flavored NPC's who make the mistake of idolizing canonized saints, over ones who literally bow down before idols of "martyred" nigger drug addicts (or whoever it is this week, who cares).

I have just started reading it that way myself kind of for the same reason. I'm only about halfway through genesis, but there are already things that make me go "huh?" Like why did Canaan get cursed instead of ham? Why did the angel tell the slave her and Abraham's son Ishmael was going to be an asshole? Why not give them a kid who is going to be nice?

I skimmed through the genealogies. Reading the psalms all in order is also somewhat difficult

>>20537650
Nowhere are the people in the genealogies called jews. Why are you fedoras so vehement and bold about letting everyone know how ignorant you are?

Why do you even enter these threads? All you have to add is "filtered".

The nature of Ham's transgression is also obscure. Some scholars think there was some sort of scribal error and/or omission of that passage. Both of these narratives (like many others) serve to indict the enemies of the Israelites.

So that you understand the cruelty of Saklas.
