This is a challenge for anyone to demonstrate significant and serious discrepancies between the teaching of Jesus in the four Gospels and the teaching in the epistles of Paul and his messages in the book of Acts.

No atheists on this Forum offer much more except argument by yawning, when it comes to the contents of the New Testament.

Anyone who truly understands the teachings of Christ and the Apostles will know that ALL preach the same basic doctrine ... as follows:
- that the key to eternal life is love and charity - NOT FAITH.
- that Love is the fulfillment of the Law - NOT FAITH.
- that the greatest thing is Love - NOT FAITH.
- that Christ will judge on the basis of how well we are able to love your neighbour - NOT ON FAITH.
- that faith will one day end but NOT LOVE.
Your doctrine is misleading to those who dont know better and, annoying to those who do.

Evidently what you really meant was "ANYONE but Rajk999...". and presumably anyone else who knows the Bible well enough to cut through your nonsense.

Do your cheeks ache ?
Rajk999 can write whatever he wants. As he said he won't read my detailed posts, I recipricate.
Any substance today or just amusement about procedural stuff ?
What does the truth make us now ?
C'mon - "the truth shall make you _________________". What is it ?
The truth shall make you free ! Your very favorite verse in John.
Show me how Romans contradicts that if you have such a case.
I got the thing with "Hey, how come anyone is not anyone ??"

What nonsense ? Be specific and related to the topic.
When these types of things are explained to you, you do the same with the explanations. It makes it pointless to try to have a rational discussion with you. I've given up trying.
Originally posted by sonshipYou certainly are prideful. In order for the truth to make you free, you're going to have to find a way to lose that.

ThinkOfOne, Tell me, what in the New Testament do you regard as the teaching of Jesus ? Do you just take the red letters in the red letter NT to be the teaching of Jesus ?
Do you take the Apostle Peter's sermons in the book of Acts to be Jesus' teaching too ?
Remember now, me, I evade and go on tangents. But not you boy! So I await the answer I have asked before and never gotten a clear reply. Here's your chance to show me how its done.
