I dont think its a good idea for Christians to be picking at that thread

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago

I think it's a fantastic idea, I just don't think they'll like where it leads.

They’re SO deep down the hole with their big lie that they think everyone ELSE is lying to himself. Truly amazing.

The bible even has something to say about it:

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

What does the quoted passage mean and how does this painting relate?

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

“mote” as in a speck of dust

“beam” as in a huge plank of wood

Basically don’t point out small faults of your neighbor while ignoring huge faults of your own.

It’s a metaphor. No one has a beam in their eye. But it’s a metaphor that drops suddenly in the second half, because you can literally imagine a mote in someone’s eye.

Idk I can picture a jagged 2x4 giving me a Phineas Gage style impromptu lobotomy just fine.

[–] a_person@piefed.social 9 points 14 hours ago

Its a bibpe verse against hypocrisy, essentially correct yourself before correcting others. Take the log put of your eye before you take it out of someone else's. The painting shows a guy talking with a log his face.

What the other person said but specifically take the tiny little thing out of your eye, before telling someone else to take the big huge thing out of their own.

Basically don't criticise unless you're perfect.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Wrong, you mixed it up and therefore got the final morale wrong.

It says “while you have huge issues to fix for yourself, don't criticize the small issues in others”. Or in other words “don't expect others to be perfect when you're not even adequate”

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Hm so people who are better than me can criticise me; I guess that makes more sense. I like both perspectives tbh

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

I mean everyone has areas in which they suck. So you could also interpret it as “nobody's perfect, so don't judge others for small shit”

The best parts of theology are the parts that engage in introspection.

I think they're safe, its too deep a thought for them to catch on
