The Golden Rule originated in ancient Egypt around 2040–1800 BC. It predates Christianity by a significant amount, even if modern Christians pretend that Jesus "invented it"

>>18763762
remember when Jesus spent a few years living in the mountains? what he was doing, meditating?

>Turning the other cheek is harmful.
It wasn't, it was an insult and provocation during its time.
they used their left hand to wipe shit, striking someone with their lift hand was a grave insult, it's about provoking someone to insult you and justify retribution.

>>18763902
>Do not resist the one who is evil.
Explicitly states that retribution isn't allowed

>>18763762
He was preaching the End of Times would happen soon. Like very soon. In such situation you indeed don't really need your posessions. On the other hand, the charity also seems useless in such framework.

>>18763762
I'm gonna rape your bussy raw :)

>>18763762
If you read the rest of the context from the chapter it goes on to say that instead of acting like a faggot and chimping out whenever someone calls you a nigger, you should go rat on them to the council and have them banished

>>18763762
How many times have you insulted God and he has not struck you back? If the most worthy being in the universe deserving of upmost respect and complete reverence can take your insults and turn the other cheek and even be merciful to you if you were to repent and turn to him, then why couldn't you.

If God was as proud and merciless as you are you would be so fucked.

It comes from Leviticus

>>18763963
Ratting them out to authorities =/= taking retribution, it's just being a rat

>>18763972
Leviticus was written 1400 BC

>>18764229
It was written in 6-5th centuries BC

>>18764261
That would only lend more credence to the idea its writers stole it from the Egyptians (which they did)

>>18764280
No, Leviticus seems to be independent from the Egyptian tradition. But it has some parallels with Near Eastern traditions, particularly, with Ugaritic sacrificial rites.

>>18764334
>Leviticus seems to be independent from the Egyptian tradition
It isn't

>>18764430

elaborate

You can't just steal a unique concept from a far older tradition and then pretend you came up with it independently

>>18764261
The oral tradition is far older than that.

>>18764460
Either Exodus is historically accurate or it isn't. If it is, Jews spent generations in Egypt, and it's absolutely fucking bonkers to suggest they may have come up with the golden rule independently from the Egyptians. If it isn't, given that Leviticus was written many centuries after Egypt's peak of influence and that Israel is literally next door, it's ridiculous to think Egyptian culture had less influence on Israel than on Mesopotamia.

>>18764648
There was none, otherwise you’d have to accept the Talmud. The Talmud is obviously bullshit, why is it so hard to say the same for the Torah given the Jews tendency to lie about history and the authorship of their texts

>>18763762
You think that only because you're uneducated.

Jesus' teaching is way bigger than golden rule.
Turning the other cheek is limited.

Matthew 18:15–17
15 "If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector."

On the contrary, eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

>>18764655
>, Jews spent generations in Egypt
Israelites/Hebrews weren't jews
Calling them jews is dumber than saying Europeans are African American because "African Americans" have 20% Euro dna

jews legally forbid Israelite grave DNA testing in the Levant for a reason.

>>18764644
>muh the golden rule
Cool. But the golden rule isn't uniquely Egyptian. Anything else? Because Leviticus literally parallels the Ugaritic sacrificial rites. For example, it groups sacrificial animals into the same categories. And the calendar formulas are pretty much the same.
>>18764648
Yes. Particularly in case of Leviticus, this is a typical Near Eastern tradition of sacrifices. Again, look at Ugarit.
>>18764655
Exodus didn't happen as it is written in the Bible, but Egypt did influence Canaanites. But it doesn't mean all elements of their culture came from Egypt.
