Quote:You acknowledged that their reporting of events was limited to what they could see/hear, just as witnesses of an accident.
I never acknowledged problems with the original authors, only translations and teachings.
Quote:THere are a million interpretations of the universe. SOme of them christain, some not. SOme of them based on The Books, some not. Some based on the Books contradict others based on the very same Books.
Wagering my soul? It would be more of a wager to just not seek the truth or to not know it, or care.
You've determined that your interpretation is the favored one. Good luck with that.
Quote:Unless, of course, the NT is a test. The OT has the means of determining who the Messiah is. Jesus did not fulfill those. It's possible that anyone who gets to the Pearly Gates and believes in Jesus, despite having plenty of opportunity to see that he didn't qualify, are the ones that are going to hell for falling for a false prophet. Maybe the only rule for getting into Heaven is to have rejected the False Messiah.
After all no belief means we get nothing, my belief means life, either way right or wrong,
Again, good luck with that.
