Inverted Orthodoxy 437 - How Christians bend the bible and why special underwear for priests?
Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. Let's dive in!
1. I recently posted something on social media genuinely questioning how so many “Christians” support what is currently happening in the Us (especially with ice). I received a response from a friend that is no longer a Christian, and it surprised me as I had never thought of that perspective.
This was his comment “God himself is a genocidal psychopath who regularly uses collective punishment against his own creations for existing the way he made them. The new testament is about 25% of the Bible. The other 75% aligns 100% with the evil that upsets you. I agree with you in spirit of course, but the facts are, white evangelical ‘Christian’s’ align with Trump and ICE. You’re a good person, in spite of your faith, not because of it.”
I myself have questioned some passages from the Old Testament regarding God’s wrath against mankind. I guess my question is, is this an accurate representation of how some Christian’s justify what’s going on? How can so many “Christ followers” ignore Jesus’ clear message of love
2. In Exodus 28 why such extreme detail about the garments for Aaron and his sons as priests? The specifications are precise right down to their underwear. Is there a meaning behind all of this?
