Can someone make this better, please

[–]LeapYearFriend 0 points1 point ago

This quote kind of got me thinking. Keep in mind the bible was written by many men over the course of history, and some of the verses and be applied quite literally if you take away the God connotations.

The son of man

So, that would be the children of the men, the only "real" people back in early times (which would explain why God, Jesus, all of the disciples and basically everyone of significance was male)

did not come to be served, but to serve

Meaning the children have to "serve" and support the elders in their old age. This is a throwback to how things actually were around the time of the bible being written.

Good sportsman then. He serves: must be a tennis player. He saves: must be a goalie.

Why can't they upvote it because it's funny? Just because you have seen it a lot doesn't mean everyone else has. Reddit doesn't revolve around you. So just downvote this, that easy.

[–]loloTRICKEDu 1 point2 points ago

Holy fuck. Do people like you ever stop complaining? Just downvote and move on.
