mrs. gooch, i think god is a say what you mean and mean what you say kind of guy. if he wanted no rough ridin' he would have said so in plain english. like with that bear example it was no calling people bald, oh you kids can't listen? boom, let's see if a she-bear will teach you some manners.

One of the prevailing themes throughout the old testament is that God just DNGAF about children. No time for their bullshit.

Spare the bear, spoil the child.

Sucks that after Adam and Eve spent all that time creating incest breeders, that Noah and his wife had to do the same thing again later.

God sounds like a perv who is just into incest

I think Noah's sons got to bring their wives onto the ark; so it was only cousin incest, not sibling incest.

Lack of rudimentary bible knowledge, sad....really.

I didn't like it when God killed the eldest son of every Egyptian family. That was sad.

How about that lady that got turned into a pillar of salt just for looking where God told her not to look (at the burning city of Sodom).

So the Catholic Bible has more books than the Protestant Bible?

Trim · « **Reply #388 on:** January 18, 2017, 11:56:42 AM »

Has there been a book written or movie made that is all the bible's events but with the characters framed differently, i.e. with god as the antagonist that the last few pages of examples seem to indicate he (or she!) should be?

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #389 on:** January 18, 2017, 12:02:28 PM »

Well it doesn't depict the Biblical events, but this movie has the same jerkish God....

What's a good/interesting resource to learn more about the bible as a literary source? I'm not real interested on the faith and whatnot, but I often feel ignorant about the literary importance the bible has had on film and popular culture in general.

I feel this way about a lot of classic books/plays, but I might as well start with #1

You should start with the sermon on the mount. It is the most famous collection of things Jesus said and it has a lot of sayings that are commonly used in literature, movies, TV, etc. Stuff like the love your enemy, turn the other cheek, no one can serve 2 masters, judge not lest ye be judged are all in that portion of the bible. Its Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7. Biblegateway.com is a good website that you can read it in different translations. Reading it would take maybe 15 minutes.

If you want like an easy overview of famous bible stories like Moses, Noah, David, Abraham, etc etc etc. I bet there's a cliff notes version that you could read and have a basic understanding of the arc of the bible and the most famous parts. If you're interested I could see if there is a condensed reading guide for something like that.

Hope that helps, but I'm still not really sure what you are looking for or like a bible for dummies guide or something?

Go Cats.

A lady got pregnant but was a virgin. Her boyfriend believed this and was totally cool with it.

He didn't believe it at first. God had to send an angel to let him know what happened.

Do you think he really believed her or maybe he just didn't want her to get stoned to death?

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

so, he was good with the fact that she was preg but not by him. I mean, believed the angel, but diidn't want to follow through on the name? That seems kinda WTFy.

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #398 on:** January 18, 2017, 01:21:25 PM »

1. Why has Mary & Joseph not yet had sex if they were already married?
2. What kind of pregnancy tests did they use back then? How did they know Mary was pregnant?
3. Joseph didn't want to disgrace Mary....so when did they tell the world that Joseph was not Jesus' father?

He named him Jesus like the angel said....
“Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
