Jesus believed Holy Scripture is ' religious truth ' - John 17:17 - and Jesus taught the truth of the Scriptures.
So, aren't the 1st-century teachings of Christ religious truth ?_________

Errors made to fit false council teachings centuries ago so few have a clue.
Almost everything mentioned in the Bible is contradicted elsewhere in the Bible.

Which makes it perfect for "proving" whatever the heck ya' want.

I prefer face to face exchanges when possible. It makes it easier to judge how the other person or persons is dealing with the information I am presenting to them. Some people deal with it quite reasonably. Others, not so much.

Never. Mistranslating what is being taught is the contradiction. Many things are disguised to keep satan in spiritual darkness and yes the majority of mortals as well-- One must be taught by Jesus' real teachers--even Gods angels are desiring to see some truths- 1Peter 1:12

I have the worst communication skills on the computer, you should see me in a face to face, or rather them when they turn and run.

If you really believe that, you have not read the whole Bible.
