There have been a number of attacks on journalists in Kosovo in recent years. Now, conservative Muslims in the southern Kosovar city of Prizren are agitating against a news portal and a journalist.

So you’re saying it’s contradicting itself?
No, I’m saying Jesus’ teachings are intended as a guide for your own life, but He is very explicitly telling you not to use them to judge and condemn others.
These are both (the quotes I provided, Jesus’s teachings) parts of the bible. They contradict each other. Ergo, as I said, the bible is contradicting itself.
If you want to filter the bible to be “just the teachings of Jesus” that’s your prerogative, but the vast majority of Christians are not doing that, and the bible is provided and preached in it’s full, unabridged format at churches across the world.
Fine if you want to be pedantic about it. It’s a 2000 year old text, transcribed countless times. My point was never that the Bible is perfect but that if you want to follow it, it explicitly prohibits peolle using it to condemn others.
I really don’t know what point you’re trying to make here.
I made the point several comments ago, it hasn’t changed. The point I made was that there are a ton of explicit homophobic teachings in the bible.
As I said, this is not broadly agreed upon by a majority of Christians, yet you keep stating it like it is. I leave it to Christians to pick and choose the word of God much as they ever have but no one of them gets to call the shots on bible interpretation any more than another.
It’s clear many Christians don’t agree. They tend to cherry pick those parts of the Bible that appeal to them. If that’s also the point you’re trying to make then we’re in agreement.
