Ask Lemmy

Patient is not perfect. A perfect master teaches and controls his disciples perfectly. jesus does not teach and control his disciples. His disciples hurt and kill people, they hoard wealth.

He does exactly that- teach and control them.

On hoarding wealth:

Matthew 19:16-22

And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Luke 12:16-21

And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

On violence:

Luke 22:50-51

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.

Matthew 5:38-42

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

jesus is a bad master

No, those self proclaimed followers who hoard wealth, hurt, and kill, are bad disciples.

Think of all the different christian sects defining and defending different perspectives of the same words, harming and killing others over their own confusion and fear.

Christian denominations don't hurt or kill each other. The vast majority of denominations coexist, and many participate in ecumenism. There is a general agreement between Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholics and Protestants that we all are Christians and follow the same faith. We just practice it differently.

Slavery according to the christian bible:

That was about humility and submission to authority, with the hope that by your humility and submission you'd be a Christian witness to your master. Jesus didn't preach violence- He preached turning the other cheek, and this is consistent with that. As was said, you may suffer for a while, but in the end you'll be free eternally. All of the slaves from when that was written have been freed.

None of what you cited encourages taking slaves.

According to the christian bible, It is christian to own slaves

No, it's not.

But it's one silly book among millions, you don't have to worship selfishness, misogyny and slavery if you choose not to.

The Bible doesn't preach these things, and we don't worship these things. We worship the God who became man, lived a humble life, preached humility and died so we can spend eternity free. The Bible is more about humility, it's your own selfishness which is clouding it.

And if a religion is defined by how it's people behave, we sing the hymn "Amazing Grace" which was written by an ex slave trader. In the hymn he refers to his past life before coming to the Faith as a "wretch" and "I once was lost"

John Newton, 1778

How industrious is Satan served. I was formerly one of his active undertemptors and had my influence been equal to my wishes I would have carried all the human race with me. A common drunkard or profligate is a petty sinner to what I was.

I doubt you've actually read the Bible - Jesus' constant teaching of humility, false prophets, etc are quite clear. You are just recycling old washed out anti-theist talking points. This Advent, I challenge you to read Matthew's Gospel. You might be surprised. You can even listen to it in the background, it's just two and a half hours long.
