No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The new testament is just as vile and filled with hate as the old one.
How so?
How about eternal torture for something as petty as non belief? Sounds pretty manipulative, insecure, and evil to me.
"Eternal Torture", as a concept, was invented by Catholics in the dark ages.
The lake of fire and brimstone is eternal torture. If you are not satan, its the lake of fire what is meant. It is eternal separation from God. The God that made you and Creation. To be separated from Him is to live life without living, eternally without any life. Eternal darkness. To say, without all the good the universe has to offer. You're left with nothing but the worst humanity, the spiritual world and the universe has to offer. And it is called the second death, its eternal and not long sleepy rest death like when your earthly body ceases.
Behold a bunch of unrelated out of context quotes from the New Testament chained together to play into @ChetManly@lemmy.world 's fictional narrative
Who decides which context is correct?
How about reading it and actually seeing context for yourself?
I have. You going to try to justify slavery now?
There are no justifications of slavery in the New Testament
Just blanket acceptance with zero condemnation of the practice. It even includes moral guidelines like how to beat your human property without going to hell...
Right, so no justifications as you erroneously said
Can you tell me the verse where this is in the NT? I'm only familiar with this in the Old Testament
