What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

And thus coupled with OBEY! is the parallel dictate “Never, ever, think for yourself!”

Women wearing men’s clothes is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christian women have worn pants.

What happens if one doesn’t OBEY! the dictates of the creators of such nonsense?

How does it feel to be in a marriage without any love?

In the New Testament, you will go to an infinitely cruel, purposeless “hell” for thinking independently.

Sexual desire (“lust”) is evil, and to desire someone is the same as committing adultery:

by Michael R. Burch

Why do gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?

Except that it’s all nonsense, including “hell,” which was never once mentioned by the biblical god or his prophets in bible passages covering 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to the last prophets.

The central theme of the bible, in a single word, is:

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

Making love is evil, unless sanctioned by marriage. Of course the vast majority of christians have sex outside marriage.

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above? What about christians conquering lust themselves? If homosexuals go to hell for not conquering their desires, then obviously christians will go to hell for not conquering theirs.

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of god”:

Why is Elon Musk so ugly?

In the Old Testament you could be stoned to death, for thinking independently.

Everyone “lusts” and no one repents of lust, as in not immediately lusting again. The apostle Paul said all adulterers go to hell, so all christians are going to hell!

OBEY!

What could be the result if I block a covert narc back after he said blocks were going back up, maybe we try this again?

Human beings eating bacon, pork and shellfish is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christians eat such “abominations” while claiming to “love” god, who they claim is the same “yesterday, today and forever” and thus still abominates such foods. How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?

From beginning to end, the bible is all about using fear of nonexistent beings — monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet — to control the minds and behavior of people gullible enough to believe evil nonsense.
