So, what Christ is saying is that the most unrepentant sinners will actually be considered the greatest in Heaven?
Quote:That is why I asked you to provide the material why you thought the passage you were harping on was a bad thing? Because it appears your understanding 'does not follow' What Christ has said 4 other times durning His ministry.
The likeliest scenario is that Matthew 5 outright contradicts those other passages, and you are going through the semantic nightmare of twisting meanings of words until you get something that looks like consistency. To be perfectly frank, what Matthew 5 means and its consequences for you are beside the point. The problem is that the inerrant Holy Bible is a freakishly inconsistent mess, written by multiple authors at different times, none of whom were around to witness any of the events they describe, all of whom have their own agendas, opinions, and total ignorance of how the world actually works.
If the Bible was really the inerrant word of God, it would be clear, concise, and irresistibly direct. It would require no dissemination and interpretation. It would feature no contradictions, either internal or external.
Your god's supposed communication methods have proven to be so faulty and inconsistent that without the combination of threats and enticements found in the Bible, nobody would have ever taken it seriously.
