None of those passages is contrary to faith.

VIDEO: Man crawls through mud to save distressed bird - NBC26 WGBA-TV Green Bay, WI

Then you wonder why the god of bible fundamentalism cannot be taken serious over the true meaning of Salvation.

How much more your heavenly Father

Saved from what?

They weren't suppose to be. I was speaking for myself. You asked to see what I've got. I showed you some of it. Of course they are not original. They come from my Father who sent me via my brother.

"As the Father sent me so I send you."

That does not have anything to do with your kind of faith.

So, the 'reality' is that Jesus was sent to earth to save humankind from a wrathful God, right? Moreover, this wrathful God actually sent Jesus to save humankind from Himself, correct?

Is it just me or do others also think that this 'plan' doesn't make a whole lot of sense?

What you don't understand is that God's holiness requires justice. Jesus took God's wrath on Himself, in our place.
