    The mockers will love you for that post. Always trying to disprove Jesus but it never works and better ones than you have tried.

    You asked me about how a person learns about the teachings of Christ.

    They are found in the New Testament.

    And then is asked why, if that is so clear and easy, there are so many sects? And then you responded with...


    Nevermind, waste of time..

    Well, as I said, just Google "Paul the liar" and you will begin your education.

    Someday you may know as much as me.........IF you apply yourself.

    Try to keep one thing straight.

    Jesus had teachings.

    The teachings attributed to the mythical "Christ" all came from Saul/Paul the Liar.

    When they asked Jesus how they could enter the Kingdom of God he told them the story of "The Good Samaritan."

    Ponder that........take it to its logical conclusion.

    It's all you need to know.

    Actually Jesus was teaching about the true meaning of "love your neighbor". Not much love going on here in this thread...comes across as a sick mockfest.

    you could probably "google" Jesus Christ the liar and find something.......there is always that ammunition for anything you want.

    If that is the criteria heaven is practically empty. I always liked this one:

    Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

    Y'all aren't too smart are ya? When you quote only part of a precept in scripture, and fail to mention the rest in context, that is "Fake News". Y'all might need to pick up a dictionary and look up those "big words" (precept and context). You'uns need to give things a little more thought.

    Wrong.

    You'd like that, but it's simply not so.

    Jesus was asked how to get into the Kingdom of God and he replied with the story of the Good Samaritan.

    That was a clear answer that you enter the Kingdom of God by emulating the Good Samaritan........doing acts of charity and kindness.

    This, of course, destroys the "saved by Grace through Christ's suffering" theology invented later by the lying Saul/Paul........so Christians hate this story of Jesus........but it stands as fact.

    Wrong.

    You're afraid to Google "Paul the liar" because you know that I'm right and you'd rather cling to your comfortable theology.

    It's all fake. Saul/Paul is the one card that......when pulled......causes the Christian house of cards to collapse.

    First of all, most good scholars don't believe Jesus was talking about "heaven." Instead, he was talking about the Kingdom of God.......something entirely different.

    Ponder that to its logical conclusion.

    Second, the "eye of the needle" was a small and narrow gate in Jerusalem where a camel could pass through.......but only with great difficulty.

    Geez, someone applies even an iota of critique to the Bible and you come running...can't you just leave people alone?

    Yes I understand what the eye of the needle was. But perhaps you can explain why the bible says " kingdom of heaven" and " kingdom of god" interchangeably.

    No....I do not live in a box. I am aware there are haters of Christ out there and they compile their beliefs all the time in blogs. I know Google itself has it's own agenda. If Paul was a liar, I am sure he would have been exposed long ago by his contemporaries, those that lived during his accounts.

    You seem quite sure of many things and no one hates the Christ, they simply find his worshippers rather annoying.

    No, I wouldn't even try to explain something like that.

    The Bible is consistent only in its inconsistency.

    Google has an agenda against Christ?

    LOL.

    Sounds amusingly paranoid.

    Paul was indeed exposed by some of his contemporaries and he killed some of them. Saul/Paul was unstoppable for two reasons........his new religion was incredibly popular and he had the Romans on his side.
