I don’t think I can reconcile Jesus’ character with an inerrant scripture
Post Body

I’ve been going through the Old Testament stories of murder and mayhem (that’s what the course is called) and the amount of God-ordained violence (including sexual abuse and the murder of children) just does not align with God incarnate, Jesus Christ. I can’t do these mental gymnastics anymore that justify so much suffering.

Too many biblical authors got away with what many of us do today: write our own conceptions of God that are highly contingent upon our current cultural moment, which often leads to the suffering of marginalized groups (dehumanizing non-white people, the role of women for most of human civilization, etc).

I’m not really seeking advice tbh. Just getting it off my chest.
