Jesus Interrupted
another book from Bart Ehrman. Rooting around in the early Christian era is interesting and informative. The profound evolution of Christ's religion into Christianity is an eye popping tale.
Taking, as Ehrman writes, Jesus never intended to abrogate the Law, since he was the Jewish Messiah sent from the Jewish God to the Jewish people in fulfillment of the Jewish Law, and since he himself wholeheartedly embraced the Jewish Law, his followers needed to be Jewish, and need to keep the Law, we have a fatal flaw for the subsequent Christian religion since it denies Jesus teachings fundamentally and subverts and replaces his clear intent and purpose.
The 'Christians' got it ALL WRONG. The subsequent revisionism and wholesale re-writing and reconstituting and repackaging of the religion of Jesus into a religion about Jesus invalidates the entire entirety of their faith.
The religion of Jesus is not practiced anywhere in the world today, and hasn't been since He Himself was lording over the disciples, His True Faith* was supplanted by a religion about himself, and it clearly is a FALSE religion since it is not His religion.
*as He would have recognized it as His own

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
