Read your Red Letter Bible, asshats.

(95,241 posts)The epistle of Peter does not even pretend to have been written by him, and certainly was not written by Peter.
There is very little reason to take any attribution of a statement to Jesus seriously, for that matter. Certainly no contemporaneous record was made, and whatever was ascribed to Jesus by the evangelists was at best sifted out of oral tradition a generation or more afterwards. After Paul had written his epistles. The half dozen or so of these which seem reliably attributed to the man are the actual foundational documents of Christianity. It is a pleasant exercise to beileve there was some better, even perhaps more progressive original form of Christianity, which Paul mangled, but there is no particular reason to think so. The man may well have been a bad apple, even a thoroughgoing rotter, but he gets a bad rap....

(32,641 posts)I don't think there is any historical proof that Jesus ever walked the Earth or wrote or spoke anything. However, saying that, I find those that profess to be Christian, never quote those words in red. I find they have a very hard time defending that argument and it is fun to challenge them on that Christian title when they have a hard time with the Beatitudes. They seem very familiar with Jewish Law of the Ten Commandments yet fail when it comes to "Biblical" Jesus.
Totally agree with your post and as I said, I'm not religious at all, just enjoy the studies of it. If I were to say I follow any religion, it would be the Tao Te Ching as a philosophy only.
According to Dr. Ehrman, there are more mistakes in the Bible than there are words. Until the printing press in the 1500s, all copies were transcribed and changed, from small to large part, by every transcription.

(95,241 posts)Not recorded recognizably in secular documents is a bit short of no one existed at the root of the movement.
But there are certainly no 'original' sources: all the documents available are shot through with apologetics and theological postures. They are not in any sense historical records of fact.

(15,722 posts)It's a witty yet detailed chronicle of how and why both testaments were written and consolidated. Lots of contradictory material can be found between the books of the Bible.

(13,069 posts)His wife home schooled the three children on top of everything else a stay-at-home mom does. One day I was out running early and she was sanding the front porch, preparing to paint it before the kids woke up. I suggested that she reevaluate the work load distribution.
One day my daughter and I were going bike riding with their family. We walked our bikes to the start of the trail and my daughter asked me if she could get on her bike. I said yes.
Her daughter asked her mom if she could get on her bike. Instead of answering, the mom turned to her husband and asked if her daughter could get on the bike. She apparently did not have the authority to make that decision.
Promise Keepers are restrictive.

(63,221 posts)Men like that tend to be authoritarian and abusive. I am sure their home life was no picnic. I can't understand why any woman would agree to an arrangement like that and bring children into such an abusive household. It's just sick.

(28,802 posts)We were talking and laughing load. Lots of giggles and hoot hoot.
Two guys that you know what they looked like care up and admonished for being loud and not lady like. To which we responded:
BWAHAHAHAHAHA. One lady said heres my husbands phone number. Maybe he can help you.
A guy said, I feel sorry for husband.
We said pretty much in unison: We feel sorry for your wife.

I keep telling her to wear her "high-heeled shoes and her low-necked sweater."
