I just typed this out in a question. The devil was attributed 10 deaths... Job's 7 sons and 3 daughters but ONLY after getting permission from God to do so. Even the writers of the Bible know that they could not let the devil be seen as having more power than God, so they had to make it out as if the devil needs permission to do anything. This then begs the question: Does god allow the devil to do everything he does - or is accused of doing? The more you read.....Yeah I don’t know about all that. It’s only my second time through the Bible. I havnt retained enough yet to be figuring out body counts.
I will say I don’t believe it’s a fairytale. I think over time the real events and the info for past civilizations has been so watered down from being told over and over through the years that you kinda have to read between the lines. I also think that different languages or word meanings has a lot to do with it as well.
I get both sides. I’ve kinda decided to use common sense and science along with older texts to also help making the best decisions I can with what I got.
I’m not sure if I was even baptized as a kid. So either way I’m probably fucked anyway.
