Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
Mat. 25
Go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.
Mat. 19
Of course if you quote Jesus’ literal words at these people they start screeching about how the Devil can quote scripture too

I was yelling at some people protesting abortion just before the Dobbs decision, and I found one guy who wanted to argue in front of his wife and daughter.
I asked why the Bible has a recipe for an abortion potion in it, and specifically for unfaithful wives; he said it doesn’t.
I told him “oh, weird. I have the passage pulled up here on my phone.”
With a smug look he replied “I don’t do Bible study with non-believers.”
I told him “okay, I’m sure I can find someone in this crowd who isn’t a coward,” and started to walk away.
He didn’t want to look pathetic in front of his family, so he agreed to let me read it. As I was pulling it up, he said “you probably don’t even know who wrote the book of Numbers.”
I told him “Christian and Jewish tradition points to Moses, but nobody really knows,” and then I read the passage.
When I was done, he said “that said it caused a miscarriage, not an abortion.”
I berated him and told him “that’s what the fuck an abortion is, jackass: an induced miscarriage”
His wife asked then me where I got the boba tea I was drinking. I know I didn’t get through to her numbnuts husband, but I think his family may have learned something that day about the Bible and their paterfamilias.
Nooo you’re just taking the Bible out of context! God actually wants people to kill the sons
Then God said, “Take your son to the land of Moriah and kill your son there as a sacrifice for me. This must be Isaac, your only son, the one you love. Use him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains there. I will tell you which mountain.”
Genesis 22:2
/s but the Bible really does say this so also wtf lol
It’s almost like the Bible is actually a collection of separate books written by a bunch of random people with wildly different ideas and perspectives over hundreds or thousands of years, and not a single coherent document written by a single omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent entity.
Quotes from Jesus according to the gospels:
“If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Matthew 5:39
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,” Luke 6:27

That’s the really convenient thing about the Bible. It can easily be quoted to support any arguement.
Including opposite sides of the same argument.
It’s almost like the Bible is actually a collection of separate books written by a bunch of random people with wildly different ideas and perspectives over hundreds or thousands of years, and not a single coherent document written by a single omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent entity.
Yup, it’s almost like that…
