Does the phrase “whole Bible believer” irk anyone else?
This is a screenshot from my mom’s Facebook…I posted about her interesting reading choices recently. Over the last several years her and my dad have started celebrating the Jewish feasts, learning Hebrew, calling themselves messianic Christians…the list goes on. Their favorite thing to tell people is that they believe the WHOLE Bible, I guess implying that others only believe part of it. I’m sorry but what???
The whole thing just strikes me as virtue signaling. Like they just want a pat on the back for doing all this stuff, a congratulations of sorts for finding all this “hidden” knowledge, and then silently judging (sometimes not silently) others who don’t immediately see it from their perspective.
It just drives me absolutely insane. Can anyone commiserate? 😅 I’m almost to the point of going no contact because of stuff like this, and the narcissistic traits both of my parents possess. It’s exhausting.
