Liberals like Christ -- Liberals = GREAT !

Jesus set forth ideals of Liberalism so HIGH that most people can't achieve them and many of his so-called followers have turned their backs on those ideals and have chosen INSTEAD to follow the easy, extremely CONSERVATIVE path pioneered by Paul of Tarsus.

I have had this argument with some Christians before, that Paul hijacked the Christian religion and if you closely read much of the New Testament it follows the arguments between Paul and the followers and family of Jesus.

This liberal Christian also points out some verses that contradict each other if you have friends who believe in BIBLICAL INERRANCY. Asking them to explain different verses I find is the best, because it is Bible-based, defense against fundamentalists. Not that all his examples of inerrancy are errors, particularly when the New Testament opposes the Old Testament. If you can confuse your former friends with this you may also point out that the Bible never claims it's "infallibilility." This is a Protestant doctrine for authoritarians, related to the Catholic doctrine of Church "infallibility."

Thomas Jefferson: " Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus."
