Varbūt par mūsu Māru un Laimu zinātu visa Eiropa, ja senās Baltu ciltis būtu izvērsušas asiņainus Ūsiņa karus pret pagāniem, lai ne tikai glābtu viņu dvēseles, bet arī paplašinātu savas svētas teritorijas... tas tā, loģika.
No, Jesus Did Not Soften the Old Testament–In Fact He Did the Opposite, and Here’s What That Means
Moderate Christians love to talk about how Jesus fixed the Old Testament, or, in other words, obsoleted the horribly offensive parts about slavery, keeping women in their place, killing gays, etc. In fact, he did no such thing.
...
I’ll be doing two things here:
...
Show you that Jesus fully supported everything in the Old Testament
Show you exactly how horrible that is.
So first, here is Jesus speaking specifically on the topic of Old Testament teachings:
...
THE LAW STANDS
...
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:18-19
“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)
...
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. !!!! I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17)
...
“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19)
...
Keep in mind, this is Jesus Christ saying this–in the Bible that all Christians own and cherish. Don’t take my word for it; look it up–it’s all there.
...
So now that we understand that he fully supported what’s in the Old Testament, let’s take a look at what he actually just commanded us to uphold.
...
IF A WOMAN IS NOT A VIRGIN WHEN SHE GETS MARRIED, SHE HAS TO DIE
...
“If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin,’ … and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones … (NKJV) — Deuteronomy 22:13-14,20-21
...
BLASPHEMY IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH
...
One who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death. (NRSV) — Leviticus 24:16
Kaut ko neatgādina? Piemēram... islamu?
...
PEOPLE WHO WORK ON SUNDAY SHOULD BE KILLED
...
You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death. (NLT) — Exodus 35:2
...
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH SLAVERY
...
Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. (NIV) — Leviticus 25:44
...
WOMEN SHOULD SHUT THE HELL UP AND DO AS THEY’RE TOLD
...
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. (NIV) — Timothy 2:11-12
...
Keep in mind, these aren’t suggestions. They’re not optional. Remember what Jesus said, “Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven…” He also said they’re not open to any personal interpretation. It’s all very clear to anyone willing to actually read their Bible.
4 Mīlestība ir lēnprātīga, mīlestība ir laipna, tā neskauž, mīlestība nelielās, tā nav uzpūtīga.
5 Tā neizturas piedauzīgi, tā nemeklē savu labumu, tā neskaistas, tā nepiemin ļaunu.
6 Tā nepriecājas par netaisnību, bet priecājas par patiesību.
7 Tā apklāj visu, tā tic visu, tā cer visu, tā panes visu.
8 Mīlestība nekad nebeidzas
Kā arī nevar izraut no kopējā konteksta pantu, tas ir jāskatās kontekstā un jāanalizē arī no vēsturiskā viedokļa, piemēram, kāpēc senos laikos tads likums bija... jo tam apakšā ir dziļa doma un jēga.
Turklāt daudzi kristiešu mīti, kas ir atrodami bībelē, jau daudz senāk ir bijuši sastopami citu reliģiju svētajos rakstos.
Ir visāda apšaubāma literatūra, un, ja Dievam tādas "izpausmes" kā Māra un Laima patiešām būtu, tad tas būtu rakstīts Bībelē, taču nav. Kā arī Dievs nav tikai latviešiem, bet visām tautām, un citas tautas par tādu Māru un Laimu nezin... tas tā, loģika.
“You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.”
“Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.”
“Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.”
“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.”
“And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.”
“Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.”
Ja dievs(speciāli ar mazo burtu)ir, tad kāpēc mirst labi cilvēki, kāpēc mirst mazi bērni? Kāpēc netiek apturēts viss terorisms un bads pasaulē?
Ironiski, bet sliktākie cilvēki, ko zinu, ir tieši kristieši Cilvēki, kas ļoti slikti izturās pret savu ģimeni, saviem mājdzīvniekiem un mājlopiem. Cilvēki, ka
