@DigitalDisdain @ChiefPreemo @___TheGOOdWitch So you are conceding?

The road says that the road to hell is wide, and the road to heaven is narrow denoting that there are many (as in other verses as well) that claim they are His, but they are not. Even today this is apparent. This is why the focus should be on God (when it comes to identifying what is righteous), and his word. Not the following the deeds of man. In the end you have to make up your own mind. And you will be held accountable whether you like it or not, standing before God with your deeds. You will do so completely by yourself and your own merits and self righteousness, or you will do so, bathed in his grace and mercy that you've accepted via the life of Christ. You've not accepted Him. And that's okay. Not everyone is meant to. Nor is everyone meant to be with Him.

Human morality is devoid of any god religion or deities

@ChiefPreemo @DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch Secular, non-orthodox, deists & skeptic thinkers shifted human consciousness toward universal human rights. Paine attacked slavery using secular logic. Voltaire, Rousseau, heavily criticized religion laid out the concept of natural rights, fueled anti-slavery sentiments globally.

@MatthewGoedtel @DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch It was Christians that abolished slavery. Atheists did nothing. The slave traders weren’t real Christians. They handed us an edited version of the bible for slaves which is tampering with the word of God

@ChiefPreemo @DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch "The slave traders weren’t real Christians." ​This is a classic logical fallacy known as the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. ​When faced with the uncomfortable truth that Christians committed atrocities, you attempt to redefine the group to exclude the bad actors.

@ChiefPreemo @DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch Again, they used the KJV as support for slavery, which is one of the most popular versions to this day. Sorry, but the bible supports slavery.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch Like the bible. 🤣

@MatthewGoedtel @___TheGOOdWitch Well, at least you can always trust AI.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch You are still wrong though.

@MatthewGoedtel @___TheGOOdWitch Good job using ChatGPT, or whatever other LLM you're using to prove your point. But that doesn't make it right. How many prompts did it take for it to agree with you.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch One, 😄

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch

The physical books and the various translations can be viewed as having subjective elements, while the core message is objective. That core message is His word. Translators must make subjective choices about modern words to best capture original intent. The underlying message- the nature of God, the moral law, and the overarching narrative of redemption is objective truth. Not sure how i can be anymore clear.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch I'm not sure you can be any more wrong.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch You define the core message....

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch Thus, you have a subjective viewpoint.

@MatthewGoedtel @___TheGOOdWitch Why would i want to drive a vehicle that doesn't include all the parts. Surely it will not get me to my destination.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch So, you are subjective then. Look up what subjective means.

@MatthewGoedtel @___TheGOOdWitch i can use a vehicle and not be beholden or swear allegiance to it in itself. The vehicle is not what i am committed to. But instead the journey and the destination.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch By your words. There is at least one slave version of the Bible and at least one version that is not.

@MatthewGoedtel @___TheGOOdWitch are you comprehending my words? Or are you just trying to dodge my ask of you?

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch You were just talking about more than one version of the Bible. 🤦

no. the Biblical World View is based on His objective word and message. Not bound in a version of what is said. but the message itself. Give me an example of where you see two different versions that have an opposing message to one another, and negate the overall message within context.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch So, you have a subjective view on the bible?

@MatthewGoedtel @___TheGOOdWitch i adhere to the message. not a version.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch You are literally proving that the the bible is subjective by saying that.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch Wrong. Around the confederate era, many Christians used the bible as supporting for slavery. Do your due diligence.

@DigitalDisdain @___TheGOOdWitch 😄 Nice try.
