The law of the prophets was a costly covenant between old-testament god and humanity. Or, you know, whatever subgroup was in charge of translations at the time.
The “fulfillment” mentioned is a single lump sum of holy lamb blood in place of the never-actually-complete exchange of not wearing blended fabrics, not getting tattoos, and sacrificing your firstborn on a rock in the mountains. And slaughtering prisoners of war who you tricked into getting circumcised as a condition of their surrender so that they would be vulnerable.

caseyweederman@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing itEnglish6·4 天前Zoom was so bad, too. It was so unreliable, it was missing basic features, the UI was unfriendly.
They’ve improved on each of these things slightly since then.
But it’s a testament to how bad Skype was that Zoom was found to be preferable.
caseyweederman@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Religions have some of the wackiest rules721·4 天前Jesus was in fact the one to say “yeah all this old rules don’t matter, just focus on these two: don’t be a dick and don’t be a fucking dick, god damn”
caseyweederman@lemmy.cato TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•After seeing the recent Paramount+ Trek/SpongeBob ad8·4 天前Yeah like, fuck them for making something fun and silly. They probably even enjoyed it too.
I was going to say “2 but with 5’s handle and if you say 1 I am going to” but I couldn’t think of a silly threat that would be absurd but in a funny way
Gosh if only there was some kind of moniker one might use to refer to him. :p
caseyweederman@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•How much of a pain is it to install Nvidia GPU drivers, really?2·5 天前The first trick is knowing that there’s a right package. The second trick is knowing what the right package is.
caseyweederman@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you do with if you had the Midas touch?1·5 天前Use the thing that Phage the Untouchable had to use to eat.
It had claws to peel her lips back, and an extender that would push very raw meat down her throat (it would start to rot the moment it touched her, so the fresher the better)
caseyweederman@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre's plans for 'woke' research spook Canadian academics1·5 天前Oh, right. They were fleeing from dying there though.
You mean Gehenna, the literal place that was just a garbage dump around the corner? “Don’t go to that place, man, it sucks. Somebody lit a trash pile on fire two weeks ago and it’s still burning now. It’s gross.”
Or did you mean Hades, the place John (no, not that John (probably)) wrote about many years after Jesus’s death? In the book of Revelation, the whole of which is full of obvious symbolic imagery? A) not Jesus and B) still not “hell”.
Ohhhhh you were talking about Dante Alighieri, the guy born twelve hundred years later, who invented our modern concept of hell whole cloth.
“Hell”, a translation of any of the three words Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, show up anywhere between 13 and 23 times in the entire new testament. That wide range is due to differences in translations and source texts.
Nobody talks about Jesus talking about hell more than modern preachers who profit off of making people fearful. You know, the exact people Jesus would have thrashed out of the temple with a whip.
ok fair
