Imagine Hating On Me And I’m Just In My Room Like

I don’t know if anyone else cares about this but can people stop pretending the bible is the ‘direct word of god’ or whatever evangelicals are saying.

We have historical evidence that the Bible was created over thousands of years by hundreds of different authors and their interpretation of God, Jesus and the world. The Bible was only compiled in approximately 382 (don’t quote me on the exact year people say different years I got this from Catholic.com) which is 300 years after Jesus is thought to have lived. Some books like the Shepherd of Hermas which were widely recognised in early Christianity didn’t even make the cut. The way I see the Bible is as a collection of stories of people experiencing God and I think that’s more beautiful and has a better message then trying to pass the Bible off as the word of God. It also explains the many many contradictions and inaccuracies in the Bible which in my opinion don’t devalue the messages and its literary value.

Also so many people don’t realise that people in the past didn’t write history the way that we do today. It was often a mixture of fact and fiction in order to teach people about life/philosophy/morals and explaining events that would’ve been happening at the time.

Honestly I don’t even know if other people care about early Christianity as much as I do but I’ve been wanting to talk about this for ages so yeah. If anyone is interested I recommend religionforbreakfast and usefulcharts on yt cause their both actual theologians who talk about this a lot. I’m not sure about religionforbreakfast but I know usefulcharts has a PhD in religion so they do have actual knowledge on this and aren’t just random strangers spewing misinformation.

Me and who🙏
