No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There aren't any contradictions between the Gospels

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'd argue there are contradictions all over the Bible.

Here's a list:

Skimmed through some of these, like this which isn't even a contradiction.

Even here you can see that it even shows a verse where Jesus drinks the vinegar in two gospels yet claim it's s contradiction because He didn't receive the wine.

What about all the other ones? There's dozens. Including ones where there's no room for interpretation like with those ones.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Any examples? I'm not going to go through every single one

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

One simple one was one apostle saying Jesus told them to go barefoot and with no staff and another saying he told them staff + sandals.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 5 months ago

Luke and Matthew were referring to acquiring or buying a staff, Mark was referring to simply going as you are. The emphasis was that Jesus didn't want them to excessively prepare for the journey, but simply go out with the sandals they were wearing and a walking stick they had on them.

The fact that there's so many different versions of the Bible is one.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

.... Really? You know it wasn't originally written in English, right?

That's like saying we cannot be certain about what happens in Harry Potter because it has been translated into 88 different languages 🤦

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Except they don't say different things happened.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 5 months ago

And neither do the more accurate translations
