yeah, like I said. is it jesus only? or is the notion that maybe there is something more?

Many people grab onto a statement of belief about god/religion like a life raft. I get it. Many of the vocal atheist here do the exact same thing. they are bound by their statement of belief about god like life itself.

is it love compassion and understanding that is the way? or is it only Jesus is the way?

I get the lyrics, but I never enjoyed contemporary pop Christian music. For me it is the Ave Marias by Schubert and Bach-Gounod or Monks humming a tune. BTW, I recently discovered some Protestants do not play the Ave Marias.
Interesting that you ever thought they would.

It was probably an atheist disguised as a Scribe that copied that.

It's funny when you realize that EVERY SINGLE THING is a social construct. Everything.

People can make all kinds of crazy stories about anything.

Think about how absolutely gullible people are to believe everything they are told.

When I was in training for Catechism at age 6 or whatever, I knew it was all bullModerator cut: <bleep> even then. They had to pound the key points into me and I was MADE to repeat them. Crazy, crazy stuff.

There really is no missing here.

Is wrapping your self up in love compassion and understanding the focal point or Jesus only the focal point?

This really isn't that hard of question if you honest.

Dishonest people have to avoid other truths, get them silenced, and/or shunned and banned.
