    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.
