Nothing is ever meaningless, there are reasons behind everything; if you don't get this, then clearly the scriptures are wasted.
Yep, either bad reasons or good reasons. Meaningless hypotheticals being substituted for reality is an example of bad reasons. Inventing the hypothetical of sending Christians to Hell, is meaningless, and the entire world got a little less intelligent why it was put forth.
No Human sacrifice, drinking the blood of an offering, worshiping death, loving something other than God, making an idol, turning the name of God into a blasphemy, changing the sabbath day, honoring father and mother, yet saying it is good news the son dies, accepting murder, committing adultery with another deity, trying to steal inheritance, swearing to a lie, desiring someone's mind, and the list goes on.....
For pity's sake we do not sacrifice anyone, protestants know the wine and bread are symbols of what Christ gave up for us and even Catholics do not believe they are literally blood and flesh (they believe they are merely spiritually transmuted which makes no sense anyway), we do not worship death (we in fact worship Christ because he rose from death, that is the miracle). Wait a minute you seem to move between things that are not true to things we are morally obligated to do but no one will ever be perfectly obedient, which is why we need a savior to begin with. Then moved right back to things that are not true again. We do not accept murder as morally acceptable (we even have a commandment against it), we do not worship another's mind,....ok the rest of that simply gets weirder. No wonder your not a Christian, you have no idea what Christianity even is. I'm am not being sarcastic, but how old are you?
Considering no one in two thousand years has noticed the gospel of John sounds nothing like Yeshua, then that doesn't say much.
Your right that what you said "wasn't much" but thank God your around to save us all from the conclusion of billions (including thousand of Biblical scholars) over the last 2000 years. The name Yeshua is merely an alternative pronunciation of the word Joshua, and it's only 1 among several dozen names and titles referring to the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. Now maybe you are trying to say that Jesus was not the Messiah. If that is what your trying so hard to say then let me know and I will cover you up with a mountain of evidence and prophecy which will emphatically destroy that position. The entire new testament has been studied and scrutinized more than any other text in human history. The consensus among theologians, NT historians, and textual critics was Christ is the Messiah pointed to by the entire bible (and especially John).
We really don't need to invent anymore Laws; you do get i capitalized the word Law as was referring to the Torah?
It is the book of Leviticus that contains 600+ laws that applied to Israel alone and only for a certain time, none of which apply to anyone since the law was "nailed" to the cross with Christ. The deca-law is debatable, but to a certainty the covenant of the law was cancelled and we have lived under the covenant of grace ever since Christ walked among us because God found "fault" with the first covenant. Before you close the door on the only eternal hope any of us can have you need to first learn about what it is your denying, and have better arguments for doing so.
I do not know how you got so misinformed about the bible but I do not have the time to teach you everything you need to know about the most profound 750,000 words ever written. Please pick up your argumentation and / or read the bible before I can no longer justify our discussion.
