Mamdani is deluded and crazy but he is relatively sane compared to other democrat politicians now making a name for themselves

God has already done everything for mankind. He gave us His word, He gave us a Savior and He gave us eternal life IF we accept it. I don't see God having to do any more than He already has. Those who reject Him will do so regardless of what He does or does not do, just as there are Trump haters no matter what he does. God didn't have to send Jesus, didn't have to give us the Bible and did not have to grant us eternal life. Mankind could still be offering sacrifices to atone for sins.

When Jesus returns to Earth it won't be as a Savior, teacher, prophet nor servant it will be as a judge. Lame excuses won't help nor work as He will see right through them. As scripture plainly tells us, He will know and judge the heart.

The heart is just a muscle that pumps blood.
The whole idea of going to the temple to make sacrificial offerings of pigeons, lambs, or goats was to provide protein for the priests.

You are ever so confused. There is little in common with what Jesus actually preached, and the nonsense in the Book of Revelation. Jesus was sometimes into love, but there is no love in the Book Revelation, which is the rantings of very sick nasty old coot in a state of dementia.

You believe BS blindly and have no answers at all. Explain how an illiterate Aramaic -speaking fisherman like Peter could write a Biblical book.

It is simply highly unlikely. I was simply pointing it out.

First off, you assume a whole lot about Peter. Unless you were alive then and knew him personally, your assumptions are not proven in his writings. Second of all, I have never met anyone who accepted salvation nor the Lord "blindly". Last but not least, I'm not sure where you got the notion that Peter was "illiterate" nor that he was only "Aramaic speaking".

What you consider "highly unlikely" is your assumption not fact, not truth, not proven and not evidenced in Peter's writings.

Once again, you are making assumptions based upon your perspectives, not facts, not truth and not proven at all. Even if you have a doctorate and medical license you cannot state unequivocally that the heart ONLY "pumps blood", that is merely your assumption. I would also state that your perspective that offerings were to "provide protein for the priests" is also wrong as offerings were burnt up and thus were not able to be consumed for "protein". I believe that the book of Revelation is chock full of love and your outrageous assumption that it is the "sick nasty ramblings of an old coot" applies to your posts not scripture. Your insistence that the book of Revelation doesn't contain any love is as a result of your bias and cynicism showing through.

What I have seen over and over again in my life is that what is inside a person is what manifests itself in their comments and interactions with others. Clearly, you have once again proven that concept to be true.

There was no educational system in Galilee, it is extremely unlikely that Peter spoke only Aramaic or knew how to speak or read Greek. Someone else almost certainly wrote the Biblical book and stuck Peter's name on it.

You seem unqualified to teach Biblical history.

There you go with generalizations again. Just because you believe that there was no education system, does not mean that there wasn't. I might add that unless you knew him personally, you would have no way of knowing whether he had a mentor who taught him nor whether the Lord Himself instructed him. You are merely speculating based upon your views with absolutely nothing to back up what you are saying other than what you keep insisting. Unless you can produce some evidence, proof, documents which support your view, I am afraid that the evidence does not in any way support your assertions, beliefs nor assumptions.
