Top Ten Flaws With the Holy Bible

This is one I struggle with a lot. I am a Christian in bible college, but I had a secret boyfriend for a while. It was nothing about lust and I don't consider myself gay even, I just found that he was the only person that made me feel okay and I loved him for how much he cared for me. My church found out and I got suspended from being a youth leader until I broke up then they let me back, but it just hurts and o still don't understand why. In some way I do believe it's harder to be close to God while in a gay relationship because every time I spent time with my boyfriend I couldn't feel anything but emptiness when thinking about God and after we broke up it instantly came back. I just wish I knew why it is something God does not tolerate and why I couldn't be with the person I love and the only person who has ever really loved me.

The Bible never directly says that slavery is just, but there is a little bit of evidence in scripture which states that slavery is "ok."

"As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly."

This isn't even meaning that women are the inferior gender LOL. There are tons of women in the Bible that are heroes. Considered to most cultures during biblical times, the Bible gives women many more rights than were usual. Women are equal to men, there is no place in the Bible which says differently. Saying "wives, submit yourselves to your husbands" isn't saying, women, submit to men. This is saying, I believe, that Wives should give themselves to their husbands, depend on them and obey them. And husbands are supposed to submit themselves to the church. There's nothing wrong with this.

Goodness! This I believe in the sense that it was written, was talking about when a man divorces his wife cause he lusts after another woman. And that, is in fact adultery. Please read the context the verse was written in before making a foolish statement on the internet

The bible states that if you get a divorce, you should not remarry, for if you do, you are committing adultery.

"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."

Seeing as cameras didn't exist in Bible times, why oh why did no one do a small painting of Noahs ark. I have got history books of times before cameras with paintings of what they looked like.

Maybe gilgamesh was written about this flood? Maybe the Bible tells of how it happened and why, and gilgamesh included it, as it happened?

It's total bullocks and it's practically copied from the Epic of Gilgamesh but with names changed.

Trinity. He prays to the father

The bible states that you should not ever get a divorce... So if you partner is abusive and hateful, you are just supposed to put up with them for the rest of your life?

"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

Marriage is also supposed to be holy, not on a whim. If you truly love who you are marrying and have dated them enough and know them enough, you should have no problem keeping them

You don't disown your father because he is abusive. Why then should it be different in marriage. Your souls are bound together, signing a form doesn't change that

No joke, this is actually a thing.

"If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity."

How is this a flaw? You'll get a girl pregnant or STD if you do "it" out of marriage. But since this a "flaw", get AIDS and we won't remind you

Seriously... What idiot calls this a flaw? You'll get a girl pregnant or STD (both of you even) if this happens.

Imagine how many problems in this country would be solved if this was obeyed.

The bible states that it is easier for a camel to fit into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven. It does not say that if you are rich, you will burn in hell, so you should not become rich. But it is saying that you should not desire to be rich. I have to disagree with this. Wealth is very important. Sure there is a lot of greed in this world, but if you are a kind hearted individual, you should strive to become rich.

Sometimes you need wealth for food, shelter, supplies, etc.
However, not all millionaires are greedy. Some might donate lots to charity, like Bill Gates does.

Actually, the bible constantly states that you should always give to the poor. But there is one instance in the bible where Judas wants to sell something and give the money to the poor. Jesus replies that "you will always have the poor, but you shall not always have me." Saying that, he used the stuff on himself. This one instance does not make any sense whatsoever. Why would you promote giving to the poor, but then say that you are far more important than the poor? It is true, but it is also selfish.

You must have read this part with your eyes in your mouth. Spit them out, put them back in your socket and go read the entire passage again

There is one instance in the bible where a huge battle takes place. The "good guys" win, and they begin to take prisoners. But God told a very wise man that there shall be no prisoners. So the man orders the prisoners to be executed. That does not sound evil at all...

Because when they made the tower, they were trying to defy God. Going to the Moon was for scientific exploration.

Creator is a married individual who observes their creation with their spouse, they have standards & their narcissism is typically prophecy & warning, Earth has been reset multiple times throughout multiple generations because the collective consciousness wasn't listening to the warnings by Creator, Creator has no choice/decision but to reset entire worlds clean from how the collective consciousness regressively devolved. I've seen them for who they are & it isn't anyone currently alive & existing in/on Earth, Creator looks youthfully elderly yet they aren't afraid to slay their own creation/creations, Creator the main observer has no other occupation because they live in a mountain away from everyone else in their universe, my third eye is amplified enough that I telepathically teleport outside of our observable universe for 20 hours at a time & admire the looks & appearance of Creator themselves & they have noticed me & poked me for I am smaller than dust compared to them

Let's walk around a desert for 40 years.
"My feet are in agony arrrgghh"
"This is boring"

You know illustrations in the Bible after the dead sea scrolls. It might have made the Bible a bit more believable?

This is a legit thing. I am a christian atheist meaning I myself am not a christian, but my family is. Haven't told them yet. Not planning too. But as a person who is reading the bible, most of it is total crap. How is this even a sin?! I was looking up laws of the Old Testament in Bible class, the worst class ever. And this was just one of the laws.

This wasn't for everyone, only priests I believe. Maybe listen closer.
