Sonny I have read it, in fact mine is inscribed "Given to Robert ___ for perfect attendance" at the Sunday School.
All you really need to do is read Matthew, starting around Chapter 6.
For a practicing Christian you sure do not have very kind words for others.
Rabbi Hillel summed it up thusly;
"That which is distasteful to you do not do unto others, that is the law, the rest is mere commentary."

Take a hint. Your posts are juvenile. Your persistence in using insulting nicknames is doing nothing to convince anyone of anything except that you do not think for yourself, and that you certainly don't think before you hit the submit button. You might also want to look into a spell checker. If you want your posts to be viewed as anything other than comic relief, you seriously ought to take a minute to read them before you post them. Read them critically, because you can be sure that everyone else will - or they will stop reading them altogether.
Regards,
D-Ray

You should tattoo "Dittohead" across your forehead. It would save you from having to talk (and prevent anyone from wanting to listen).

Good one.
I am sure the Bible was passed along orally for centuries, especially the Old Testament. People had much better memory skills than we do today. However story tellers do tend to embellish to make a story better.
The Jeffersonian Bible strips the New Testament of all of it's supernatural events and leaves the reader with a very good story of a remarkable man named Jesus Christ. Jesus led a life caring for the less fortunate in his time. For his charitable deeds he was put to death for being critical of the Pharisees and cleaning up the financial system i.e. throwing the money changers out of The Temple. After he was put to death he was laid to rest.
The End
God does have a very good way written info down to Earth.

I always figured recanting was simply a CYA move.

They also have a way of adding their own personal prejudices and hatreds----of the sin, not the sinner...
And what's wrong with having job creat....um, err, I mean "money changers" in the temple? Some idiot liberal must have added THAT part. We all know Jesus would have welcomed them in. I mean, after all, these are the people who start businesses so they can give us all jobs and throw gobs of money around like halloween candy.......right?
I mean....money.....that is what Jesus was all about.......Well, he WAS, wasn't he?

How does this thread veer into religion? Apparently, evangelicals can't restrain themselves from interjecting the speaking in tongues into any conversation is how it appears to me.
For budgie to call out Rob as a heretic for his observation is the height of prideful behaviour or has that prohibition been stricken from your gospel,eh?
The scripture has been reworded and translated so many times that I for one doubt the veracity of most of it's content. Somehow I doubt that the Holy Ghost is God's typesetter.
That previous sentiment does not mean that the King James version is a complete fabrication, in my opinion. There appears to be much good to be gleaned from it but to consider it to be the literal and complete word of God is just absurd.
I agree with Dave though, It does appear to have a very leftist bent to it. I do wonder how the teabaggers reconcile the removal of the moneychangers from the temple with their support of Mittz?

Well the cleaning up of the banking system was tongue in cheek, but there was a class warfare battle in the time of Jesus' life on earth between the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
I am going to do a little research. It looks interesting. Very few people know that both Herod and Pilate both found Jesus innocent of his charges. It was the people that insisted he be put to death. The biggest problem is the New Testament was written many years after the death of Jesus. That leaves it open to a lot of skepticism.
That is funny, how can Jefferson recant for writing a book he never published. He finished "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth", which is the actual title, in 1820. He passed it around to friends to read. Jefferson died in 1826.
The book ended up in his great grand-daughters possession Until 1895 when she sold it to the Smithsonian for $400. It was published, for the first time in 1895, by The National Museum. In 2009 the Smithsonian did a restoration of the original book. It is public domain and anyone can publish it and many have.
My point is I suspect that if he "recanted" He would have destroyed the only copy. Instead he left it to his heirs to be immortalized into the history of this country.
I have read a lot about Jefferson over the years. There is a ton of mis-information out there concerning Jefferson's life, his writings, and letters. Bogus Jefferson quotes are used by the left and right in their signature lines all over the Internet. Even the quotes inscribed into the Jefferson Memorial are dicey. While the words are Jefferson's, a single quote may contain bits and pieces of various sentences in his extensive writings. Some quotes were rearranged from their original form to make Jefferson look more like a God fearing Christian.

Oh, now that just CAN'T be! Everyone knows there was no such thing as "class warfare" before FDR came along and ruined Utopia.
