I really struggle to comprehend how anyone in 2023 believes any of the dumb shit in The Bible

They don't. That's why nobody lives by the Bible.
@BohemianBoo Excellent point
@BohemianBoo Someone needs to learn law-gospel distinction.
@BritishFailedAesthetic Christians can't wait till marriage to have sex because it's against the law?
@BohemianBoo What? You said people don't live by biblical perfect standards and I said a doctrine that helps explain that.
@BritishFailedAesthetic You said there was law-gospel distinction. How does that explain why Christians have premarital sex?

@BritishFailedAesthetic Is this that thing where we pretend Jesus didn't say the Old Testament laws still stand?
Because even if so, Christians don't follow the New Testament either.
@BohemianBoo I refer you back to the article and with regards to OT rituals- Jesus said he came to fulfill it.
@BritishFailedAesthetic He also said he didn't come to change the laws. He said the ancient Israelite laws still apply.
@BohemianBoo But that he fulfilled them.
@BritishFailedAesthetic Sure, but that doesn't mean Christians aren't required to continue following the rules of the Old Testament. Also, like I said, Christians don't follow the rules of the Old Testament either.
