Jesus Christ? The one who told His Father, "Your Word is truth (reality)" in (and about) that Bible you don't give much evidence of having read much (John 17:17)?
Yeah; He's the one who taught me to heed the Word, and stay clear of the sort manmade, perverting traditions that the RCC glories in (Matthew 15:1ff.). He's the one who taught me that continuing in His Word is what marks me as a real disciple (John 8:31, 32).
If your view is otherwise, we're not talking about the same Jesus.

Identical posts; no clue as to why.

out of historical context scripture quotes without any hermineutical comprehension is a sign of lazy scripture reading on your part. If you want to believe the world is flat be my guest( Gen chapter one). God gives me the intelligence to know that four gospels, for example were written to different audiences in the early church. The Bible came to be written in an historical context not in a cloud somewhere. To understand the power and the truth of God's Word one needs to understand the historical context of the inspired author and audience for which it was originally intended. They are after all handing on to us what they themselves first received. After all you and I are believers because it was witnessed to us....in the NT and by real flesh and blood people who live their faith ( Be careful how you live you may be the only Bible some people ever read)
