When I talk about "the gospel"....I'm talking about the fact that Jesus died so that anyone that believes in him can have eternal life.

What you've just quoted above is how Jesus summed up the Mosaic Law. But then....how would you know? You seem to think we don't have any reliable scriptures. The Mosaic Law won't save you--it only serves to show that you are a sinful being unable to save yourself.
SERIOUSLY??????? I did "back it up" with the FACT that we do not now have, nor have we ever had any ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPHS. Do you dispute that FACT???

Vizio, I don't know why you waste your time. These people will never get it.

Unfortunately, we think the same about you. People would have much more respect for you if you were HONEST about your religion and it's origins, but you continue to insist to the rest of us that it hasn't been FABRICATED in the past by people with an agenda...when anyone who has taken the time to study these things can inspect the evidence (copies of edited texts) that shows it was. And, insisting that the copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, of copies, etc...are exactly like or even resemble the original autographs (if there ever were any original autographs) or that the writings are inerrant is ludicrous at best and makes you all seem completely foolish and feeble minded to the rest of us. Be HONEST for a change and you might find that people would be more engaging or willing to engage in serious discussion with you.

We have thousands of manuscripts. More than any other text in antiquity. I'm quite confident we know what was in the originals.

Not trying to engage in serious discussion with you. I'm a citizen of Heaven. I have nothing to prove. The proof is there. It's always been there. You can continue to deny it. I'll keep living it.

Absolute comedy. Do people forget that the Red Sea is almost 100 miles across at any point? This show makes it look like it's a 300 yard dash. LOL! This is the exact same way the story was told throughout my Sunday School days. Nevermind that there were hundreds of thousands of people with elderly and farm animals in tow......

Oh forget it. I don't want to mess with anyone's fantasy world.

Reminds me of Max Caty's bumper sticker in the remake of Cape Fear.

You may be a VIP on earth, but I'm a VIP in Heaven!
