The message of the Bible is timeless, because God is timeless. Truth is truth no matter when, where or how it is revealed. The Bible reveals the Truth through Christ our Lord. Christians always believed that the only way we can reach Truth bis through Chirst, and tha He is the Truth, the Way and the Life.
When He says "love your neighbor as yourself" that is transcendentally true and historically irrelevant.

That's nice, but it doesn't work and is not what you practice. :) It is only BECAUSE you reject the historicity of the scriptures that you are able to simply declare that the Bible has only one message. You accept Christ's words in the Gospels, but you reject God's words in the OT, and God's words through others in the NT. That is the problem when one has no base. One can simply invent what the message is.

It's totally relevant, especially if someone came along and asserted it never happened, that the Apostles just made it up because it sounded good. That would change everything. There is NO BASIS to say that Christ DID say those words, but that God never told Joshua to sack Jericho.
