Thread closed.

Remember that and don't come back.
By the way. You never did tell me what you have that I could possibly be jealous of.

I guess you could think of nothing.

Most people I know who say they take part of the New Testament have to have an accompanying conspiracy theory to explain how the other words got in there.

There are some inspiring and practical parts of the Koran as well, but I am not a Muslim.

@Rajk999

You said the thread is closed. And you are not the debating type.
You are unable to have a constructive debate without resorting to hurling insults, diatribes, anathemas, and shows of sheer will power to resist sound biblical reasoning.

Now you did say "Thread closed".
In other words you have nothing else to say.
sniff.

So goodbye.

@FMF

I have told you how I think the NT came into existence. You always blank out what I say. You have asked me numerous times how I think the NT came into existence. And I have answered you numerous times. And you always just blank it out. Just as you did on this occasion.

So are you saying:

Mohammed spoke some words - some of which you find inspiring and others spoken by Mohammed you do not and therefore are not a Muslim.

Jesus spoke some words - some of which you find inspiring and othe ...[text shortened]... ] you do not and therefore are not a Christian.

Is that how I should understand your sentence?

As for "disappearing"?

I reserve the right to look at my available time that I have and budget as I see best according to my priorities.

If I "disappear" when you think I should be on the edge of my seat engaging something you or someone else wrote, get use to it. You should have noticed by now that sometimes I will return to a comment latter.

I said "sometimes".
And it will remain "sometimes."

I suspect that if I tell you that I do not remember HOW you think the NT came into existence, you will probably call me a liar.

@sonship said
But I do not remember your explanations of HOW you think the NT came into existence. Perhaps it made an impact on you to tell me. But I sure don't remember it.

@sonship said
That is OTHER than the fact that you don't trust that all the words attributed to Christ can be trusted as His words. I vaguely remember you leaving some kind of less then fully committal sympathy for mythicist Richard Carrier who argues leaning to Jesus never even EXISTED. That's way out there.

@sonship said
The underlying innuendo of this question is that the truth merely = someone's "religious beliefs."

To dignify the question with an answer is to agree that there is no truth. There is only this or that one's "religious beliefs".

The other repeated question lately is along the line of something like "when you chat with your church leaders do you tell them . . . " ...[text shortened]... uth strong deception will come. And they will find themselves swept away by a lie in the end times.

As I have explained to you umpteen times before, some of the teachings attributed to a figure called Jesus by writers creating a new religion/cult of personality centred on claims being made about his identity, decades after his death, when seen through the prism of my moral compass, seem to me to be a good code for living.
