We Never Learn and Keep Repeating the SAME Mistakes. It happens Over and Over in the Old Testament…Jews get right with God…then get Lazy and then they SUFFER

Toxic Relationship: God PUNISHES the Jews for their offenses like building alters to and worshipping other Gods because they hooked up with some Foreign Tarts…and then God swears that’s the last time and he’s done with them…then later God/Jews go right back to their Toxic Relationship

is that a pretty good summary of the Old Testament?
It’s spelt “altar” you fucking Philistine.

I wonder if people back then knew how to spell perfectly or they just kind of “winged it”?

My interpretation of the Old Testament is God showing the rest of us what He could for us if we just have faith in Him and obey. He chose the Israelites to make that point. Not because they were special, but because they weren’t. No one is.
So, you’re saying humans have a co-dependence issue with God?..

Is an ok summary. A common theme of the OT.
Faithfulness → Complacency → Sin → Punishment → Repentance → Deliverance
The Old Testament builds toward a resolution where Christians see Jesus as the answer to this cycle (Hebrews 8–10), while Judaism emphasizes repentance (teshuvah) and God’s enduring covenant.
After the flood recedes it’s a good idea to rape your dad
he is a JEALOUS GOD!
If you want to really relax, note that regular, i.e., correct vs. incorrect, spelling in English didn’t start until the 15th century, and it took a few hundred years for it to be (almost) settled.

I just thought to Google it, and altar was apparently spelled alter in Middle English.
I’m with you on spelt, though - so far as I’m concerned that’s a type of grain.
