Suppose you tell me then. How does one get saved, and where in the bible does it say it?

I'm not trying to be argumentative here. It's just that I encounter many who profess to be Christians, and I don't second guess them, but they really are clueless when it comes to understanding the doctrine of salvation.

Even Satan can quote scripture. And unless y ...[text shortened]... lieving christian then I neither expect you to believe or understand what I'm talking about.
Then why bother to post on this board? Go look in the mirror and talk to yourself.

Not the opposite I agree, just a different source within.

Two Gospels give almost identical accounts. Luke has Pilate sending Jesus before Herod. John has Pilate and Jesus engaging in a somewhat extended discourse. If you are going to insist that the first two simply didn't bother to mention such important details, go ahead.
Happens all the time when several people are giving details to an
event, the descriptions are not always the same. This isn't four
different events recorded movies where the only difference is going
to be the camera angle, they are people sharing what occurred
according to their prospective, and the telling is for who they are
writing to. They are hitting those points they want, and not those
they think are important for the reasons they have.

That's just stupid. If we had 4 military histories of Waterloo, we wouldn't expect three of them to leave out the massive charge of the French cavalry. And if only one had Napoleon personally charging to the front and bayonetting Wellington, we'd be skeptical of that claim. I guess all logical rules go out the window when you're talking about the Bible. If 4 people gave radically different versions of the same event, we'd assume that some had screwed up a few of the details. But, of course, since the Bible can't have an error, the simplest and most logical conclusion is foreclosed.

The idea that a Roman governor would send a prisoner to a subordinate local ruler and that ruler would dare send the prisoner back is absurd.

I see you again have no defense for your previous brain dead post. No surprise.

Spiritually speaking, that is precisely the case.

Once one realizes that the ego-construct (the conditioned “somebody-self” ) is just that, what was always there shines forth unobstructed.
