One of my all-time favorites: “no Jesus fulfilled the law so we don’t have to follow it anymore.” Oh so we can do whatever we want now, the laws are gone! Don’t worry about the ten commandments then.
Yes, lol. I don’t even understand that phrasing. He came to fulfill the old testament law? How does one fulfill commands about beating slaves? “Not one jot or tiddle will change… except all the changes I’m making. But also I’m unchanging because I’m god.” It frightens me when people assert that the bible contains no contradictions. It is a dangerous lack of critical thinking.
Jesus’s real message was “do as I say, not as I do, and maybe I’ll spare you my wrath.” And then he didn’t even say clearly what we should do. I like the golden rule. Jesus neither invented nor embodied it, he was a complete hypocrite according to the gospels.

It’s almost like the whole thing was made up by an assortment of self-appointed leaders who were trying to control other people’s behaviors.
What’s ironic is… that passage, Jesus is saying the exact opposite.
“Do not think I have come to abolish the law and the prophets I have not come to abolish it, but to fulfill it.” It goes onto say that the law is eternal, and won’t be changed and blah blah blah.
(The idea of the law being made to go away comes from the heretic, Paul, who realized that centipede were unlikely to convert if they had to get snipped as Jesus intended.)

It feels like Jesus and God are well, sepparate entities too.
