“As generally understood, the person accusing (the “pot”) is understood to share some quality with the target of their accusation (the “kettle”). The pot is mocking the kettle for a little soot when the pot itself is thoroughly covered with it.”
Well after all, you are the one referencing the pot and kettle analogy. So you can “generally understand” the above paragraph can be assimilated and applied to the one who referenced it.
Why does your Jesus character look at the speck of sawdust in his brothers eye, yet pay no attention to his parable which justifies slavery and the beating of menservants and teenage or young women, called maidens–by a drunken slave owner (ruler over his household), probably using a plank.
A parable is anything that relays the moral and spiritual teachings of Jesus. No place in the following slave parable of Jesus, does he say: “By the way, there is no place in heaven for a slave owner. You should not be a ruler over your household who owns slaves–or be in a drunken state and beat your menservants–and especially beat your teenage or young female slaves”–or as Jesus describes them menservants and maidens.
Luke 12:41–48
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42. And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44. Of truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46. The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47. And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
You at least by appearance do not read and follow post replies. So @monkeyoh used the common pot/kettle idiomatic expression (in an image) to describe that. You massively misunderstood/misconstrued that idiom. She explained it, and also pointed out a Bible quote that also embodies the idea in that pot/kettle idiom, mostly because it’s fun to post Bible quotes. Try not to rat-hole on the Bible quote - it had a clearly explained intent you’re ignoring. Other side issues with Bible quote are fun and all, but AFAICT, nobody in this thread uses the Bible as a moral guide. There is no “your Jesus character.” Nobody was using that Bible quote to refer to anything other than to point out that you do not read and follow post replies, which you’re doing even in response to people pointing out that you do not read and follow post replies.
Here are a selection of my favorite Bible passages:
How does Moses make his tea?
Hebrews it.
How long did Cain hate his brother?
As long as he was Abel.
What did Cain do to his brother?
He disabled him.
What did Jonah’s friends call him?
Chum.
Jesus walks into a bar. He orders a water.
Jesus walks into a hotel. He hands the inkeeper three nails and asks, “Can you put me up for the night?”
Why didn’t Jesus go to College?
He got nailed on the boards.
Why is John Wayne a non-contingent being?
Because he can’t act.
How do you make holy water?
You blow the hell out of it.
What’s the difference between Jesus and an oil painting?
You only need one nail to hold up a picture.
Jesus has been crucified and reappears to his disciples. He tells them that he will grant them a wish before he ascends into heaven.
The disciples get together and confer. After much arguing Peter says “Could you do that walking on water thing again? It was so cool”.
Jesus smiles, agrees and the next day they set out onto the sea of Gallilee in Peter’s boat. They stop far from the shore and Jesus steps off the side of the boat onto the water.
He immediately disappears under the surface and the disciples rush to drag him back into the better. Jesus looks flustered, but vows to have a second go.
Once again he steps off the boat and sinks quickly below the surface. The disciples drag him back and apologize for having asked him to walk on water.
But Peter begins to doubt in the Messiah and can’t help asking why Jesus can’t repeat the miracle. “Oh, I can”, Jesus insists, “at least I could before I had these bloody holes in my feet.”
That was your response? No acknowledgement of what was said, or indication that you either understood or still had questions, or – heaven forfend – admission that you had misunderstood…all you got from that paragraph was that a particular poster is female? Pronouns are the most important fact to get right?
I would like to get her valued opinion on some religious scriptures.
