Were the Gospel accounts a mythology of Jesus?

So how do you discern when to use compassion?

When the subject comes up.

You use compassion on proud people like yourself?

Believing and defending the Bible makes someone proud?

Or do you use compassion on those who are different than yourself also? If you're going to preach like Christ show me where he preached like you are to one targeted group of sinner. Try to just show me one verse from Christ. That should be the foundation.

Already did. I Cor 6, Rom 1!

 

[HisServantinChristJesus]

Threats, warnings, call it what you like. It's what God said. Gays are heading for Hell.

I think there may be at least one.

God knows.

God knows.

Psalm 111:10
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

Romans 1:26-27
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful,

I won't call it what I LIKE I call it by the rotten fruit it is. You "think" you "may" have saved one person? But you don't know? So your success rate is zero because you don't preach like Jesus. I asked you to quote Jesus. Jesus said anyone who LOOKS in a woman with lust has already committed sexual sin. Do you know not all people were "given over" because of their sin right? You do know some victims of s/a have a distorted view of what's normal and healthy, right? The fruit of your tree is deception, pride and the sin of justification. At your 0% success rate of reaching the lost- you might want to try to follow after Jesus' methods before you get cast out as one who buried your talent. A 0% success rate is not talent. Your fruit is ugly and rotten. I've sat with people of all different walks of Life- orphans, widows and widowers, alcoholics, drug addicts, Jews and Gentiles, Christians, Muslims and atheists. Probably others as well. In my plea for those in the wrong path- I don't judge their sin for we are not to judge those without. I show them what God calls sin and I show them my testimony of the sin I've overcome through the bloodshed of Christ. Then I explain that though I will try to let them know a train is coming- as it gets closer to them I will get louder even if I due trying to push them off the tracks. Maybe you're unwilling to do that, but Christ died pushing me off the tracks.

You sound like another pro gay troll here. Coincidence?

Discussion on another thread about the potential mythology of the Old Testament
raised questions for me about the Gospel accounts. Were they mythology as well?

Consider this:
- Questionable authorship.
- Remarkable sameness of synoptic accounts. (copied) ???
- Written decades after the events.
- Based on an oral tradition. (like Genesis)

Seems to be a case for the idea.

--- ADDENDUM ---

I should clarify that I am not questioning whether the people in the Gospel accounts were real people.
History shows that they were. The question is whether the stories about them changed due to the length of time it took
to record the events. We read the words of the recorded oral tradition as if they are fresh eye-witness accounts.
That's not what happened. Check the estimated writing dates of the Gospels. 40 AD as the earliest date. (70 to 140 as latest)

So sorry for you that you don't believe Jesus!

You've already proven, in many Threads and posts... that you have no trust or use for the bible.
The question is, why do you feel the inner compulsion to continually write Threads that attempt to cast doubt upon the bible?
This is the devil's work, and you feel right at home........thats obvious @St. SteVen

That's a ridiculous claim.
I quote the Bible nearly every day.
Why would I do that, if as you claim, I "have no trust or use for the bible."

I certainly have questions and criticisms of the lies we were told about the Bible.
That would only be "the devil's work" is an oppressive environment that doesn't allow questions.
Which seems more devilish to me.

Don't you even read YOUR posts? lol

Quoting YOU: "no wonder I don't trust the Bible"!

And that's why you EVADE simple Biblical questions!
