How can they be "meaningless" when it's the words that "are spirit and are life"?
If any part of that us untrue, then all if it is untrue.

You are illogically conflating the existence of Jesus with the truth of the words attributed to Him.
Just as it would be illogical to conflate the existence of Albert Einstein with the truth of the words attributed to him.
You seemed to understand this and then you subsequently seemed unable to separate the existence of the person from the words at ...[text shortened]... l, this is because you still buy into the mythology even though you find the mythology "absurd".
The words of Jesus rely on HIM being directly involved in a personal connection to God. Jesus Himself matters in regards to His own words, and if you remove Jesus....the words crumble.

Yes I mean expressing hatred. I can't ever remember you talking about homosexuals in a 'they shouldn't play on the freeway kind of way'. Are you confident you always embody the intended spirit of "the words of Jesus" here. For example, do you love John McCain even as you wish he dies soon?
As for practicing homosexuals, I only relay God's truth. You can call it hate if you like.

If Jesus was a lie, then words attributed to Him are also a lie.
Why are you missing this?

But let's not let the truth get in the way of your beliefs.

Jesus understood the truth of His words.
In both cases it is the truth that matters. The truth exists whether or not the person delivering the truth exists. The truth doesn't "crumble" just because the person doesn't exist.

False.
If Jesus was a lie, then words attributed to Him are also a lie.

Your argument has crumbled, for if Jesus didn't exist then His words don't exist.
You are not making sense!!!
