The words of Jesus

-Removed-

Not sure what point you're trying to make. Why don't you explicitly state it rather than ask me questions?

His statement that the words of Jesus mattered more than the existence of Jesus puzzled me.

You are unable to articulate your point? Interesting

The existence of Jesus only matters to those who buy into the mythology of Jesus that the NT writers wrapped around His core teachings. His core teachings are those that explain eternal truths such as what is and is not righteous. These are what are of importance and are not dependent on whether or not Jesus existed.

I was asking about the point of that specific post. As I was replying to that specific post, why do you seem to not understand this?

How can you possibly quote Jesus? If He didn't exist, then His words are meaningless.

The words carry real weight due to the speaker (the real much alive speaker), if not than
Bob's words carry the weight, so does Burt's and Ernie, and everyone else who has
words. None would have no more weight than the next, some will follow his words, others
their words, like a word make it your own, accept it or reject it.

When the Son of God speaks, He does so as the Son of God, when someone writer of
fiction writes out the words for someone made it, we can turn the page, put the book down
and never pick it up again, it doesn't matter its a work of fiction.
