Until you change your mind about the Gospel ,the Bible and Jesus , you will continue to go in the direction your going and believing what you believe . The mind is a funny thing .

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while he slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and hastened away. And so when the young blades sprang up and later were about to bring forth fruit, there appeared also the weeds. Then the servants of this householder came and said to him: `Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence then come these weeds?' And he replied to his servants, `An enemy has done this.' The servants then asked their master, `Would you have us go out and pluck up these weeds?' But he answered them and said: `No, lest while you are gathering them up, you uproot the wheat also. Rather let them both grow together until the time of the harvest, when I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn and then gather up the wheat to be stored in my barn.'”
“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man sowed in his field. Now a mustard seed is the least of seeds, but when it is full grown, it becomes the greatest of all herbs and is like a tree so that the birds of heaven are able to come and rest in the branches thereof.”
“The kingdom of heaven is also like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, and in this way it came about that all of the meal was leavened.”
“The kingdom of heaven is also like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man discovered. In his joy he went forth to sell all he had that he might have the money to buy the field.”
“The kingdom of heaven is also like a merchant seeking goodly pearls; and having found one pearl of great price, he went out and sold everything he possessed that he might be able to buy the extraordinary pearl.”
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a sweep net which was cast into the sea, and it gathered up every kind of fish. Now, when the net was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach, where they sat down and sorted out the fish, gathering the good into vessels while the bad they threw away.”

You remind me of this:
“And the LORD has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear.”
Jeremiah 25:4 NKJV

Not sure but I do know this: I’m right with God through the Lord Jesus Christ, He aced the test for me.

Not sure what you’re trying to communicate

I think that's a myth.

I don't want to argue, let's say 9. Each one had a scribe. But I dislike when you argue from a non-Bible "knowledge space". "Timothy our fellow worker greets you, as does Erasmus, etc." TEAMS.
Yes, some myth makers argue and risk death. Please explain why NINE TEAMS or GROUPS of people arguing hundreds of miles and years apart all took the polar opposite view on their source text, life and religion to promote a resurrected dead man -- to be persecuted.

Why make the mistake of saying proper scholastic discoveries come only from atheists? You appear to be smearing Christians.

Logical fail. Of course it does. And by the Quran' s standards your book of myths is false.
By the poor standards you use both books are wrong too.

True about everything. Let's try to use logic consistently.

Why would I want to change my mind? Beliefs should be evidence based and that appears to be missing for the Christians.

The "prophets" do not appear to know how to communicate properly. And that would be the fault of the one that chose and sent them.
Even so, even if they had a scribe, which is not always the case, a scribe does not make a team of authors. A scribe is not an author. We have 9 authors, not 12 teams of authors.
If you want to include the support staff, then you could include the papyrus makers too, and the ink makers as part of that team effort. But I think that's more than a stretch. I'd just drop the idea of calling it a team, as that doesn't fit. We're talking about the actual authors, not their support staff.
Why different authors from different regions of the Roman Empire, at different times in history all were saying similar things, is simple. They all reflect that belief system. Belief systems spread and many different people from different parts of the world participate in them. That it puts them at odds with the main system of the day, and puts them at risk for doing so, is nothing unique to Christian beliefs.
This is as common as air. You can see it everywhere in history, where different groups of followers who challenge the status quo are persecuted for it. They all still participate, knowing they will be persecuted for it. People do this all the time, regardless of the belief system. The Christian experience, was just one example of a very common human social phenomena throughout all of history, down to today.
What was your point?

Read 1 John chapter 4
God is in all times and places.
I don’t think God “accepted a sacrifice” as you mean it.
Probably not with the foundation of your assumptions and biases.
No. It isn’t. I don’t think God is who you think I believe God is.
Light. Energy. The fields that comprise the universe.
I never said he did. But his suffering was a sacrifice of his well being.

Ok. And what has that to do with magical discernment of ancient texts?

Oh? So the myth that the election was rigged had no impact on our nation?

They were clear that’s why they were stoned, thrown in jail etc. Same reason you continue viewing pornography instead of repenting.

OK, what is the evidence that you found compelling that it is more likely true than invented? Explain your logical process.
Why? What did they say that convinced you they assess the Bible objectively and came to objective and logical conclusions?
