Indeed, Reading and Thinking … porn or filth for example … can also both be sins per Bible.

Matthew 5:28

“But I say to you that everyone who keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

If you actually read about the Bible you would know that 1 Timothy is probably fake.

Any attempt to justify banning books from the New Testament is indirect at best. All Christians play loosy-goosy with the Bible to some degree. There are things Jesus directly warned against like gathering wealth that most Christians have no problem doing. Paul seems kinda iffy about marriage but for many Christians that's a core religious value. Meanwhile there's a bunch of stuff like book banning or being gay that's at best ambiguously condemned in the Bible that people are up in arms over.

TIL about that hypothesis. I admit, I had a good laugh.

> St. Paul wrote "it is a shame for women to speak in the church"! Noooooo, it must be fake!

[hypertele-Xii]

You are blatantly obviously lying. The Bible strongly condemns homosexuality in several places. Try harder, Satan.

Maybe he is a catholic, who chooses to not take the bible literal? (those who do are actually the rare exception)

> I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

For anyone curious.

Or simply yelling "fire" for no reason in a crowded space must be a sin, pretty much like it's a limit of free speech.

in the catholic church, it'd be probably invoke three paths to sin. scandal, which is causing others to do evil without their intent to do so. justice: requiring the dignity and safety of others. and of course, lying.
