There isn’t a conflict between Jesus and Paul, nor does John teach a different Jesus than Matthew. ALL the Gospels teach the divinity of Jesus. However, since you deny the Bible, why do you care?

And in any case, it pretty well negates a conversation, since most Christians don’t believe Christianity is a logical construct - I wouldn’t believe it if it was - but REVEALED truth.

When I lived in Utah, I had a lot of conversations with Mormons. However, it wasn’t fruitful for us to discuss the Book of Mormon, since I didn’t accept it as truth.

I beg to differ. With Paul it's a stretch. With the first three Gospels very doubtful. With John a certainty.

I do not deny the Bible. Why are you jumping to conclusions? Please do not read my mind. The Bible is an objective reality. That doesn't mean what's in it is also objective reality, as some claim.

Curiosity is my main drive. When someone states something so matter-of-fact that is so different from the real world aorund us, I want to know why.

I wouldn’t believe it if it was - but REVEALED truth.

How do you know it's revealed (and by whom or what?) and how do you know it's truth?
