Dadliest: Important note: conservative Christians accuse Liberal ones of picking the parts of the Bible they like. In turn Liberals point out that they only like the Old Testament as a way of saying they don’t actually follow Jesus. The Old Testament is part of the Bible making it Christian.

I always kind of shuddered at the “someday every knee will bow, someday every tongue will confess” songs and references, because of this “I can’t wait until you are writhing in a lake of fire” vibe.

I mean, if the concept that unbelievers will suffer incredibly gives you “comfort,” I have to ask what exactly the “good news” is to you.

Jesus: Someday you will be with Me in Heaven. Most of crowd: Hallelujah! Jesus: Certain others will be in Hell Joel Berry: WOOOOOOO all right SUCK ETERNAL FIRE, OTHERS [pumps fist Arsenio audience style] WOOF WOOF WOOF Jesus: . . .

The Bible ends at Malachi for those folks...

Please don't say this sort of thing. While the Tanakh doesn't end with Malachi because Jews use a different order, the whole "Old Testament Bad, New Testament Good" meme is still offensive and contributes to anti-Jewish prejudice. Also, evil Christians are still Christians.

I'm not calling you an antisemite, to be totally clear. It's just wrong (morally and factually) to blame some Christians being awful on their believing in the same books Jews do.

The Book of Ecclesiastes is no less Christian than the Book of John. Not getting on you but I really have never heard a Christian claim that the Old Testament was bad. Only that for them Christ is the truth and the light and you can’t be Christian without them

Really? Know any church history? That was the substance of an entire heresy. And, it continues. It's why some people print Bibles with just the New Testament and psalms.

Alt text: Basically a bunch of reaction images telling this ignorant antisemite to shut the hell up, he has no idea what antisemitism looks like unless it has a hood or armband

Hoo boy, there's a lot here. Have you really never heard Christians or people raised in a Christian cultural mileu talking about how Jesus is so much nicer than the mean Old Testament God?

Second, no, actually, the Tanakh is less Christian than the New Testament because the Tanakh was written for Jews in the first place (whether by Jews or by God is largely irrelevant). *Maybe* the Vulgate and subsequent Christian translations can be classed as equally Christian, but that's it.

Third, the whole takfir thing is really really tiresome. Christians who choose to be evil are still Christians, because they still believe in Jesus. Whether they are living according to his actual teachings is wholly irrelevant, and saying that they only believe in the OT echoes calls of "Judaizer"!

YAAAALLLLL!! I found Twitter on BlueSky!! Oh Dude, my poor dude There’s nothing here except you losing your mind because some one dunked on these particular Christians and it’s spiraled into “You are anti-Semitic for considering the Bible Christian” and other Galaxy brain ideas.

I see. Thank you for taking the time to tell me that actually, Lain's response was the right one. Kindly fuck off into the sun.

Jews hear that crap all the time. You’re telling us you don’t know any Jews, or if you do, that they don’t trust you enough to share the shit we get from you people with you.
