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

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

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.

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?

Is Beehiiv better than Substack?

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

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

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

Why is Keir Starmer and the Labour Party calling for a cease fire in the Middle East? Is it in response to Lord Alli and his payments?

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

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

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!

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)

Which sunscreen is best for oily skin dot and key sunscreen or deconstruct gel sunscreen?

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of 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.

OBEY!

I test TVs for a living — and I recommend these 2 TVs above everything else - Tom's Guide

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.

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