You repeatedly claim that this question is off topic so I thought it was about time that we gave it its own thread.
So tell us, as someone who proclaims the validity of the “words of Jesus” “while he was on earth”...
When Jesus said he was sent by God, was he correct?

childish
@divegeester saidIt's childish of you not to respect ToO's right not to answer ... especially a question that has no bearing on anything other than more labelling- the exact opposite of what spirituality is about

@divegeester saidIt's likely that ThinkOfOne is an atheist.

Why he quotes Jesus so much is baffling.
@karoly-aczel saidIf you think labelling is wrong, why are you then labelling another poster's enquiry "childish"?

If one person self-identifies (labels themselves) as an "explicit atheist" and another self-identifies (labels themselves) as a "Young Earth Creationist", do you really believe these labels "have no bearing on anything"?

So ThinkOfOne, you think Jesus is a moral teacher who was too stupid to select faithful men to accurately take to the world His teaching?
I mean Matthew, Mark, John and even Luke as disciples couldn't get His ministry straight without consulting you first ?
I mean YOU really understood what Jesus taught.
@sonship saidI don't think ThinkOfOne believes that Jesus was "a liar and a deceiver like no other in history". I think he believes that what you think of as "Jesus" was in fact a historical figure hijacked by the people who created the religion that you subscribe to. You quote Paul on this forum more than you quote Jesus. To claim that ThinkOfOne believes that Jesus was "a liar and a deceiver like no other in history" is, of course, a straw man on your part. What's with all these logical fallacies, sonship?
@FMFThinkOfOne quotes Jesus because he thinks Jesus is a moral teacher who is perhaps unequalled.
Right, a liar and a deceiver like no other in history, who is a great "moral teacher."

@sonship saidThe Gospels were written decades after Jesus' death by people who didn't meet him and based on hearsay, myth and folktales. Paul, a figure you seem to revere, never met Jesus and apparently was working for the Romans.
