Actually, MMH; I am not ignoring anything; here are the points that I made and YOU did not respond:
he never once suggested that he was your "savior";
Jesus may have never said it the way that you do, but through the things that He said, he proclaimed it.
in fact, he said that the kingdom of God is not "here or there", i.e. in Jesus, but it is within YOU.
Jesus was talking to those who believe in His salvation when He said this.
There were over 28 full gospels written and known. A scholar from South Germany chose the four which were placed into your New Testament--need I say more? How can you continue to be so narrow?
What is the narrowness? The PJs are loads of some kind of "gospel." Since they don't teach the values of the Old Testament, they are not considered part of the New Testament. Any other so-called "gospels" that don't profess the things of the Old Testament and the New as it exists, will never be included in the New Testament. Even if they are correct, why add them? We have what we need to be saved right now, as it is.
he never said it was OK to dump your wicked actions upon him or anyone else.
Nobody says that, not even Christians. Jesus took our sins and mistakes. He did it without us even asking Him to. When He tells us about it, if we accept what He says as truth, then we are saved.
And here is another BIG point:
The Bible has been re-written and modified.
The Hebrew nation is the most stubborn nation of all. Phoenicia is gone. Egypt is barely hanging on. Greece has lost its splendor. Rome is gone. Thrace is gone. China has changed entirely over the millennia, even though we call it by the same name. Israel, the Hebrew nation, is one of the greatest nations of the world today.
The strength of Israel is God-strength. God will never let His name be defamed.
Hebrew tradition has always been to copy the Old Testament with complete accuracy. The scribes copied it accurately right down to the present. Christian Hebrew scribes even copy the New Testament accurately. There is no fallacy in the Bible itself. There may be mistakes in translations.
By Hebrew tradition, tradition that is stubbornly held by possibly the most stubborn nation of all, says that the Bible is accurate. The failure is among those who suggest that the Bible is inaccurate, and by people like you for believing such.
