Bruh, the Bible says if you even think a family member is considering any other option than Christianity, it's you're duty to stop them, even if it means killing them.
Is a biblical phrase, the full thing is:
It means you're supposed to put any other Christian, and Christianity as a whole, over family.
Up to and including pulling an Abraham and murdering family members for not believing exactly the same shit.
That's an urban myth.
Where, exactly, in the Bible does it say that?
A bunch of places...
https://www.openbible.info/topics/killing_non_believers
Your quote never appears anywhere in any of those citations.
That the Bible--a collection of religious texts, many of them advancing directly or indirectly the ethnic and national interests of their authors' people groups--would have stuff in it about killing people for lots of reasons is no surprise.
But your purported origin of the common proverb in the Bible is a fabrication. It's not in there, anywhere.
Also Christianity doesn't advocate killing non-believers as a matter of doctrine. Plenty of Christians have done that historically, but it's not a teaching of the religion, and it's never advocated in the Bible, anywhere.
There's plenty to criticize Christians for. I don't understand why you felt you needed to make something up.
What quote?
The blood/water one?
You know you get better answers with clear questions, right?
Otherwise this happens where no on has any idea what you're talking about and just trying to guess what you mean.
It's rarely as productive as just being specific in the first place
Answer the question. You specifically stated "it's in the bible". It was obvious to me, reading this thread, what exactly they meant. Please show us the location of the quote.
Why would you see that for a full day no one had clarified what they asked for...
And then demand I answer it without still saying what you think theyre asking for?
I don't know if you're trolling or honestly dont see the issue, but it really doesn't matter.
Because when you act like that tacking on a "please" doesn't count as being polite.
No, it's because it is not in the bible and now you are trying to make shit up when called out.
The old acknowledged the question but dance around answering it by throwing out another question and attack of character.
This guy has talked shit online before, this isn't his first rodeo
Hi, Christian here. No, we are not called upon to kill our family members for not being Christians. Hope this helps.
And if you'd like to dispute by pointing out verses that imply we should be killing people, please save us both some time and check the context of the verse. Some of them are in parables, and others are of the old law back before there was hope for salvation in Christ. If you find any that are neither, I'd be surprised, but please let me know.
That would almost matter ...
If Christians weren't constantly saying they need to pass laws everyone has to follow based on that old shit...
When you pick and choose and say some have to be followed, but the ones you disagree with don't.
It's what's called "hypocrisy" in the modern world.
You can't claim some stuff you're forced to make others follow, and other stuff is outdated and we can't hold it against you
Gotta pick a lane champ
Pick a lane? I think you're assuming others' actions are mine. I don't force others to follow the Bible at all, because that's not the biblical way. It has to be a choice, otherwise God might as well force us all directly.
A very strongly nagged and heavily pressured and influenced choice.
There is no magic carpenter and never was, and there is no magic "salvation" that absolves you from responsibility for your actions. Grow up and become an adult.
I didn't know the origin but wow, that's the complete opposite of how the phrase gets used today
It's not, it's an urban myth
I looked it up after and yeah, not from the Bible. The religious connotation likely came from a sermon from the 1600s that kind of bastardized it
What verse? I've read some wack shit in the Bible, but never that.
