Bible Matthew 7 12
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you"
Now, there are many interpretations of this particular verse. I never seem to understand.
What does it even mean?
I know what it means: "Do to others what they do to you".
But the Bible added a change.
Its not "what they do to you".
Its "what you would have them do to you".
Well, if I want for others to do whatever I want, I must do whatever they want?
But if I do whatever they want, will they do whatever I want? Probably not.
Uh
The verse doesnt help.
Now, here is another example. Lets say someone wants to kill me. I want for him to not hurt me. So by Bible's logic, I am supposed to not hurt him, just let him kill me.
Uh
Here is another example.
Lets say someone raped me. I want for him to let me be free, so by Bible's logic I am supposed to let him be free.
Uh
So...
Yeah, I can see this particular verse can be spinned into oblivion.
Why did Jesus have to make it so complicated?
Uh
Oh well.
