The bible is a fragmented mess of retranslations and secondary source material. Leviticus also has the verse about homosexuality that these idiots love to point to too.
It’s definitely just a mess of contradictions. I wouldn’t say “woke”. Jesus was pretty woke throughout. Though some gospels more than others.
My in laws are extremely religious and comservative and biggoted. This year at easter, my wife volunteered to pray. She had a bunch of verses like the one in this post and just ripped them through bible teachings that theyre dicks. It was awesome
There’s lots of woke stuff in the OT too. The above passage is from the OT. Entire chapters are dedicated to describing an economic system where capital can only be gained temporarily, then it reverts to the original owners’ family in Jubilee years. AFAIK it was never actually implemented though.
According to the bible, while living on the promised land, until they demanded God a king, so they could be like the other nations, during the Judges book, they were effectively a stateless society organized by families and cities. Land had no rulers. Only during that time the system you recall was fully in place. After that time, they kept doing some things, but the system effectively transitioned to a monarchy. God’s words to Samuel (the contemporary judge they didn’t want) are indeed hard: “they haven’t rejected you, they rejected me”.
Finally, god himself gets down here and starts an organization. The primitive church was an anarchist community, you don’t get more woke than that.
Yup, god is woke. Also an anarchist, clearly against hierarchy and other pyramid schemes like capitalism.
Some english names or expression might be wrong, I haven’t looked at english bible for a while.
Conservatives love to ignore that the Bible is actually pretty woke.

I, too, choose this guy’s wife.
If you’re willing, I’d love to learn more about the specific verses as well as their reactions.
Except the old testament, God constantly wants pepple to sacrifie their kids, stone people to death, etc. He’s not a nice dude.
