What happens to Sola Scriptura ?

The story of the gospels can't be of universal significance, and, the idea of salvation has only been dealt with in the most superficial of ways.

The gospels, are simply the work of Jewish propaganda.

Example: What causes dis-ease, and what does it take, or even mean to heal?

If just touching the hem of his garment results in healing why doesn't Nicodemus's conversation get him eternal life, which, for all reasons is equal to healing?

The healing stories then amount to mystical stories that were an expected part of a well crafted narrative. Otherwise all healed would qualify for eternal life.

And that would nullify Christ's demands on Nicodemus.

So there's a mixture of myth, legend, and history in the Gospels, and hence the truth of the Bible can only be contingent.

Hahaha. It's taken you quite a while to ask this question.

It should have been the first.

Matthew 5:27-28

All other teachings are focused on the understanding of human nature and the relief from guilt.

This verse, is decidedly focused on the imposition of guilt, and, even has hints of not understanding human nature.

So, if this is true, and Christ was for the first position then the latter can't be his words.

Let's call my verse '5:27' and your counter, '5:22'.

Your argument basically is that 5:22 and 5:27 are equivalent in form, and implication, and thus only a small portion remaining would qualify the 'Christ condition'.

Granted, they appear to have the same form. That is, 'If, then'.

But do they have the same implication?

5:22 implies a consequence or consequences of a state of being.

5:27 implies a state of being.

5:22 is then resonant with the Christ condition.

5:27 is the contrary to the Christ condition still.

The Bible and the Holy texts should be read as one reads a dream.

It doesn't take simple literacy to know how to read the Bible. And the logic of the woken life can't suffice the understanding of the scriptures.

That's what makes the scriptures holy.

The scriptures are also about Matthew or Luke or Paul as persons and as dreamers.

In studying Scriptures we study dreamers, their dreams, and our dreams. And properly handled, they are extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, the tradition of Scripture is now greatly weakened. And why is that so?

Because of improper teaching and preparation.

Just re read that passage. Had never given it much thought.

He clearly is more eager to write than to verbally respond to the pharisees.

I suspect this may be significant... bait taken.

Vuta kamba.

Before I say anything, let me say the law is there in Islam, but you need four witnesses to apply the law. Otherwise, the accuser will given 80 lashes for false accusation.

Chapter 28 is an addition to Chapter 27, not a contradiction at all. Adultery as described in the old testament involved two but you can commit it alone too, that's what he meant. If you look at a woman lustfully, you have committed adultery with her in your heart. You have probably undressed her and done the did with her in your mind, even wanked on it... That's what it means. If the ssid woman goes with you then you both sin together but also by yourself without her.
