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

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

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of god”:

To those people in the world who have access to universal healthcare, what experiences could you share with Americans in order for us to understand how it affects your life (positively or negatively)?

OBEY!

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

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above?

Why do flat Earthers still exist even though it is scientifically proven that the Earth is spherical?

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?

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

Should women be allowed in “combat roles” within the military?

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!

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

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

What are the most meaningful Jewish jokes that reveal insights about Jewish culture?

The central theme of the bible, in a single word, is:
