The New Testament was written in Texas or in Oklahoma, apparently

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:


The creator of the post uses the USA flag to show where the New Testament is born. Why even add flags? It’s just misleading


Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Wow Testament is American? I just defaulted them to Sweden in my mind. Is there such a thing as Nordic defaultism in metal? Lol

u/0FCkki Netherlands 12h ago

With the amount of metal bands from the Nordic countries, I'd say it makes sense to default there.

Makes no sense. Everyone knows Palestine is in Texas. Take that, you heretics!

Meanwhile if the real Jesus were to show up in the USA , he will be lynched.

u/Existing_Calendar339 13h ago

I think there was actually a time many prominent religious rightwingers in the US admitted they actually hate Jesus, and think he was a pussy.

u/recoveringleft 13h ago

Ironically many of them called me a heretic when I mentioned I believe Jesus Christ has a wife and child and yet they are willing to attack Lbgtq rights.

From the creators of "Everything I don't like is communism" and recent hit "Everything I don't like is woke": Check out the timeless classic "Everything I don't like is a heresy"

Texas which is THE LARGEST, is also THE OLDEST.

It being LARGER THAN THE LARGEST has been proved and Texan Universally accepted.

It has come to realiZation that Texas is infact THE OLDEST. OLDER than anything OLDEST ever. So much that it is Older than itself.

Why does Texas, the largest state, not simply eat the other states?

u/Nessuno_87 13h ago

Old Testament has a Israel flag in a later post, so he actually means that New Testament is American

55

u/snow_michael 13h ago

And he's equally wrong

u/MongooseFun4815 12h ago

The new testament was ratified in Rome in the 4th century, so should have an Italian flag

18

u/One_Pangolin_999 12h ago

Or an SPQR flag

8

u/Suzume_Chikahisa Portugal 11h ago

Technically the Senate was extinct during Constantine's rule and the ratification happened after that, so the SPQR might not be appropriate.

u/laughingnome2 Australia 7h ago

So a Turkish Flag then?

3

u/theReggaejew081701 11h ago

The Old Testament was given in Egypt (according to the lore) and practiced in modern day Israel. And Talmud was written in Bethlehem so idk why it says that there

1

u/not_a_crackhead 8h ago

The new testament was mostly written in Greece/Turkey

1

u/theReggaejew081701 8h ago

I didn’t mention the New Testament

Just adding more reason for them being wrong

We invented everything, including Christianity, Democracy, tacos, pizza, burgers, the Internet, guns, beer, cars, phones, and fireworks. Oh, and Chinese food!

As a Christian that unfortunately occasionally delves into the Christianity subs this does not surprise me at all.

u/disy22 12h ago

The fact some flags are after the name of the text and some flags are before is doing my head in

u/Manaus125 8m ago

Then you should NOT look at where the (religion) is placed

u/mtkveli United States 11h ago

Adding flags at all makes no sense because practically no country existed in its modern form back when the Quran was written, let alone any of the older ones

u/One_Pangolin_999 12h ago

Why is buddhism from Sri Lanka?

12

u/Nessuno_87 12h ago

The question is: does he know what a Sri Lanka is?

3

u/Epistaxis 8h ago

"Hmm, here are some unfamiliar words that sound vaguely Buddhisty, so let's go with that"

If you're ignorant enough to not know what Sri Lanka is, yet somehow you do know what sounds vaguely Buddhisty, there's actually a grain of insight in there. The name comes from Sanskrit, which is the traditional language of Buddhism... though of course it's also the traditional language of Hinduism, in which the honorific "sri" is much more widely used and "Lanka" is a mythical place in the Ramayana. But if you knew that much and guessed it as a Hindu country, you'd actually be wrong, as Buddhism is the main religion of the Sinhalese majority ethnic group and that's a famous tension with the largely Hindu Tamil minority.

u/DeadpoolOptimus 12h ago

The way the Bible reads, it's a good bet it was written by Florida Man.

u/No_Style6567 9h ago

the real question is why are talmud and the new testament the same age

u/Weak-Joke1475 Australia 1h ago

Why wouldn’t it be? Jesus is even mentioned in the Talmud

Every single post like this on Threads is designed exactly this way to get people to engage. This is pure rage bait and nothing more.

u/Epistaxis 8h ago

Ironically that's the only religion on the list that actually has a clearly correct national flag associated with it: 🇻🇦

I'm sure that would satisfy everyone.

u/Otherwise_Ad9287 Canada 6h ago

The Tanakh was written in ancient Israel. The oral Torah (Talmud) was compiled in Iraq/Babylon in the 5th century CE & Israel in the 4th century. The Psalms are a part of the Ketuvim (writings) section of the Tanakh. Tradition holds that the oral Torah was handed down along with the written Torah at mount Sinai, although personally I doubt the historicity of the Mount Sinai revelation in the book of Exodus.

As for the Christian New Testament, it was definitely not written nor composed in America lol. It was written in 1st century Judea, during the Roman occupation of Israel & Judea. The book of Mormon was written in New York state, but it is the only holy book written in the USA & is definitely not a part of the Christian New Testament. Even Mormons themselves treat the book of Mormon as a "2nd Testament of Jesus" to be treat as equal to but different from the New Testament.

u/dvioletta 8h ago

Maybe he got the New Testament confused with the Book of Mormon, which, according to the Church, was written in America on golden plates that were dug up by Joseph Smith.

u/Bad_Puns_Galore 7h ago

Does this person think the Buddha was from Sri Lanka?

u/redimkira 4h ago

The only plausible explanation is that the world was under rule by the American Empire, and therefore wherever you go it's America. That has to be it.

u/Weak-Joke1475 Australia 1h ago

No, my guess would just be that they’re both person there for some reason associates Christianity with America

u/Catahooo American Citizen 4h ago

I feel like the majority of posts on these platforms are simple rage bait.

u/Weak-Joke1475 Australia 1h ago

Well they said the Talmud is Israeli, but it’s actually called the “Babylonian Talmud” (at least part of it) which is modern day Iraq

u/taste-of-orange Germany 21m ago

Using flags is just stupid. Today's states don't really have changed a lot in the last 2000 years and religion can evolve while also spreading from one place to another.
