Jesus was no hippie. He also said every thing, even every dot and period in the scriptures was accurate. He was of course referring to the Jewish scriptures since the New Testament did not exist at the time.
“He also said every thing, even every dot and period in the scriptures was accurate.:
True. He also testified that He did not come to destroy the law of the prophets but fulfill it because it testified of Him.
It's too late to argue. At any rate, I apologize to all the chr*stians here for losing my temper. I'm just fed up with all the put-downs of the "old testament" as being so primitive and heartless and inferior. And yes, I know the quote I objected to was in the article, not in the post of any FReeper.
Objectively contemplating the historical figure you Christians call Jesus, more properly "Yeshua," I think he was more like an outlaw biker, not the feminized wimpy Jesus modern popular culture deliberately depicts him to be.
