I haven't read the context of the passage quoted for nearly half a century so I'm not going to interpret its validity, but box says Jesus was an observant Jew and said no particle of the law was voided until all prophecy was fulfilled. He then argues it hasn't been fulfilled. He then proposes that Paul said the law didn't matter because Christians aren't Jews. Only the last sentence is a little unclear as I can't tell for sure if he means the homosexual who hated women to be Jesus reinterpreted or some other leader of the early church.

Kind of like a married catholic priest would raise a few eyebrows today. He then insisted that men and women be kept separate unless procreating. Never felt the urge to procreate himself. Spent a lot of time in jail and travelled with a single male companion usually younger. All of current christian doctrine can be traced to him based on his firing of the people who actually knew jesus and changing all the rules that jesus followed. thanx, bill "the reason people don't buy conspiracy theories is that they think conspiracy means everyone is on the same program. Thats not how it works. Everybody has a different program. They just all want the same guy dead.

First major editing of scripture and adoption of the Old Testament to justify an authoritarian church, then adapting the Pagan festivals to make conversions easier, and reconstituting favorite local gods and godesses as saints, then vicious sectarian warfare and wholesale murder among Christian communities in the name of Jesus and a loving God. If you love sausage and Christianity, don't see either one made. Probably the Jahova's Witnesses are as close as you'll get to the real thing in this day and age. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Or at least: the now novelized character we Call that name, whose itinerary was not covered for a long stretch, in the narratives.)

But WTF - the credulous will buy Anything intoned often enough, that relieves of the burden of actual personal thought.
