      Work smart not hard. Probably didnt even need to die for ‘everyones’ sins. Considering most people aren’t Christian. The ROI just isnt there.

      If Jesus had put that gold, frankincense, and myrth into a Roth IRA and just sat on it. Well, the church wouldn’t need an offering plate, Ill tell you that much.

      Well the entire thing was an insult to whoever wrote Matthew 6:5. Which is a proud Christian tradition, but Americans take it a whole new level.

          Honestly I’m surprised there aren’t more sects that explicitly reject Matthew by now. It’s the one that has the bulk of the “don’t be a dick” instructions.

          Most of them seem to prefer John which can more easily be twisted into “if you’re a Christian you’re a winner and better than everyone who isn’t, no need to worry about the details, you’re already on the list”

          The traditional attribution of Gospels to their namesakes may not be entirely accurate – it’s plausible that it may incorporate material actually written by the Apostle Matthew, but also seems to lean on Mark and shares literary elements with Luke. There’s a whole scholarly debate on it, called the Synoptic Problem.

          For all we know, the author might have been someone else drawing both on the teachings of the Apostle Matthew and the works of prior writers, or entirely based on different works and simply attributed it to Matthew. Hence, “whoever wrote” is probably the safest attribution possible.

                Yeah. As far as I know, most if not all the porn stuff is on the lemmynsfw instance, which coincidentally is where @[email protected] is from. Plus, the ‘[M]’ tag in the post’s title helps identify gender.
