    1. Choose your own translation doesn’t matter if the “word of god” is so malleable.
    2. Nope.
    3. Cop out. Jesus said he wasn’t there to invalidate the old stuff.
    4. I’m not your dictionary.
    5. Did not make that claim.

    Bonus 6. I’m tired of you.

          Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.

          He has not come to loosen the laws but to fulfill them

          This statement is told because the Pharisees were claiming that he was teaching people to ignore the law of Moses

          By fulfill, he means completely live a sinless life that no Israelite had managed, becoming the first and last to do so.

          This is also why the sacrificial system was abolished too, because Jesus’ sacrifice was enough to the Lord for eternity.

        You haven’t provided proof, only claims. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable, juat disappointed that some people are so credulous.

            Dude. The shroud of Turin was a known fake in the 1300s when it was made. The church decided to adopt it anyway because it was a great money maker with tourists, even though according to your other reply they don’t mix money and faith. I do love that you lead with the most thoroughly debunked religious fraud in Christian history as your strongest evidence though. That genuinely gave me a laugh.

            Witnesses are notoriously unreliable and easily swayed. And you never said witnesses of what. Just vague “miracles” of the trust-me-bro variety? Which Roman officials? Were the letters corroborated by contemporary evidence and writings from reliable scholars?

            Magic does not exist. Ghosts and the Easter Bunny are fake too, sorry to ruin that for you.

      1. Different translations on directness, not completely different iterations. You can read the original hebrew scriptures
