>>18011906the first sentence was drafted by Jesus himself
>>18011906So the gospels are fake?
>>18011920...OR SO THEY SAY!
>>18011837Jesus was correct, and what Paul said doesn't contradict what Jesus said because only people who are of God form the body of God in Christ. Who is of God? well, that is a matter of paternity and the nature of the Spirit which these days is mostly ignored.
>>18011837
If you actually read the Bible you'd know that Jesus was pretty clear about expanding the definition of "Israel" to mean everyone. Why do you think Jews hate him in first the place?People like to bring up the stories of Jesus healing goyim despite them being goyim, but forget that the entire point of the stories was that he actually did decide to heal them.
>>18012175>"Israel" to mean everyoneYeah, if by everyone you only include those defined as persons up until the definition of persons was changed to include non whites within the last few hundred years. But why? You'd have to delve into the nature of the Spirit for your answer, and call upon the two key witnesses for testimony.
>>18012157>>18012183You're annoying
>>18012196>annoyingthe truth is not meant to cater to your modern sensibilities
>>18011928Depends on your religious views. But they were likely based on oral tradition long before they were written down. Similar to the book of Genesis in the Old Testament, or (at least some) Buddhist sutras.
>>18012167>trolling a woman who is begging you to heal her daughter who is "possessed by a demon">only doing it after she beats you in a contest of witSounds like a really cool guy all right.There is no such thing as demonic possession. No evidence such things ever occurred. Mental illness is not caused by demons.
>>18012252You can believe anything you want. You can think the movie The Exorcist was a documentary, that doesn't affect me or change reality.
>>18011920>drafted by JesusJesus didn't draft anything.
>>18011837Paul never actually met the man who started a rabbinical reform sect so probably the first
>>18012221I'm pretty sure Jesus was talking about the fact that he and his message would be controversial and divisive.Not an endorsement of DEUS VULT DEUS VULT KILLKILLKILLKILLKILL
>>18012266>his message would be controversial and divisive>>18011837>I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel
>>18012175>Jesus was pretty clear about expanding the definition of "Israel" to mean everyone.What was the cause of this.Jesus, at the very least, claimed to be the son or messenger of the God of Israel.
It's both. The tension exists because Jesus’ earthly mission had a specific focus, while the post-resurrection interpretation by Paul framed it as universal.
>>18011906Why do orthodox (little "o", not big "O") Christians always shit on the Gospel of Thomas if it was written before both Mark and Matthew? Doesn't that give it historical precedence?
>>18012969On the left it has a range of dates that have been argued for, though they're ordered by the earliest suggested date. 50-140 has it anywhere from before Mark to after John, so before all the canonical gospels or after all the canonical gospels depending on who you ask, though I think after is currently the dominant view. There's also the possibility that has a earlier core which was added to over time.
>>18011837Those flames just got hotter. Tick tock.
Paul has no choice but to say the latter because if he actually agreed with jesus he'd be out of a job and couldnt extort gentiles for money anymore. There's no point in analyzing a claim someone is forced to make to continue their livelihood
>>18013045The list also has secret Mark listed between 70 and 160, but when accounting for the common opinion of it being a forgery it should instead be between 70 and 1960, lol.
>>18013047>wanting to figure out your believes as to not go to hell is punishable by hell
>>18013160>wanting to figure out your believesNothing like that is happening. Rather, you are trying to "dunk" on the Bible because you hate God. Tick tock.
