>>Yes, they would say, God delivered a good original message, but those early Christians botched it up so bad with corruptions that even God couldn’t fix it until they came along.<<

Did God build Noah's boat for him? Did God fix the problems in Nineveh or did He send Jonah to do it? Did God free the children of Israel in Egypt or did He send Moses?

Throughout the history of man from Adam, God has sent people to fix the problems of other people.

God did deliver a good original message. Then the people turned away from that message and created their own. All you have to do is look at the chaos that is modern Christianity to know it's true.

Modern Christianity has lost virtually all the knowledge that was had by the original Christians. I mean realistically, you don't really use the Bible. You use one verse from it.

So why don't you condense it down to an index card. All it would say is, "Just believe and you're saved." That's it. You could call it the Holy Index Card. I'll even give you permission to use that title.

Easy to make, low cost, easy to distribute and conveys the only real part of the Bible you will accept. There, I've furthered your cause....

An index card? Interesting, but isn't that kind of what Joe Smith did, when he wrote his novel? Actually, I don't really need an index card. I have the whole version on my brand spanking new IPhone 6. 😂 Eat your hearts out guys. 😃

>>Modern Christianity has lost virtually all the knowledge that was had by the original Christians.<<

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Psalm 33:11 The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Ps 119:89-90 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

Yet you claim God wasn't able to keep His promise to all generations? Nothing personal but I'm going to take His word over yours.

>>I mean realistically, you don't really use the Bible. You use one verse from it.<<

I mean, realistically, I use all of it. So don't tell me what I use and what I don't use. K?

>>So why don't you condense it down to an index card. All it would say is, "Just believe and you're saved." That's it.<<

Acts 16:30 and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

You might want to save that snark and speak with Paul about that nonsense you seem to think he told the jailer.
