@michaelburk9171 "The old testament should be completely rejected." Jesus taught almost exclusively from the Tanakh, the Hebrew Scriptures. He was especially fond of Isaiah and Deuteronomy. His Golden Rule comes from there. And I'm not saying what Paul wrote should be rejected. Really, if it hadn't been for Paul, Christianity would have probably never reached Rome, where it eventually converted Constantine; so Christianity might not have survived, but for Paul and those like him who started the original church. That said, the surviving history and letters from them shows that they weren't interested in teaching the parables (Jesus spoke to the crowds only in parables), or to love your neighbor. They were interested in making what Jesus taught into a religion. Finally, my original comment spoke only to the text, which I've spent years studying. But I find Paul to be a huge hypocrite, and most likely a bi-polar, narcissistic maniac. :)

That's from Paul, not Jesus, and therefore not Christianity.

@michaelburk9171 I don't "dismiss things in the bible." You said that quote was Christian. It is not. Christian means Jesus Christ. It does not mean Paul--who murdered Christians, was judgmental of everyone from women to people with "blemishes." Paul spent 3-5 years doing his ministry, before he even talked with any of the apostles--then he spent like a week with them. He didn't know anything about Jesus, except that he died for our sins; so believe in him or burn. There is nothing of Jesus' teachings in what Paul said. Absolutely nothing. And the four gospels are longer than "10 pages."

Jesus' girlfriend? There was no such thing in the text.

@samueljusino2944 "who was Mary Magdalene? It would be not right for a 30 something year old Jew to not be married in his time so any questions?" There is nothing in the text that said she was his girlfriend, absolutely nothing, let alone that she was "a call girl." And while I don't know this for sure: What makes you think it wouldn't be right for a man to be single in Palestine in those days? How's that for any more questions?
