Jesus’ Failed Prophecy About His Return

[Brian37]

They are different in they they teach two different things; "messiah," soul, after-life, etc. Also in the fact that you have other authoritative texts such as the Talmud and Zohar. Where they are spin-offs is that Christianity cherry picks and misrepresents Judaic theology to attempt to justify its theology. However, most of what is taught in Christianity today is the result of councils, written creeds, adaptions of other religions to gain converts (such as paganism), break away from other larger groups, and so on. Religion is great to read about and research and learn some philosophical insight but there's a point where the rubber meets the road; meaning are you going to follow reason and logic, or be completely true to the faith and suspend all reason; because in the end you can't have both.

 First off you did not answer my first question, this may not seem important to you but it holds truth in Christianity.
Secondly the Bible is strictly Christian because it shows how the OT and NT are intertwined, you can't separate them, each would lose much of it's value.  The bible contains no adoption from any pagan religions, the reason some people see pagan things in the Bible is simple, they do not read the Bible with the intent to learn. faith has nothing to do with suspending reason and yes you can have both, I know this because I have both in my everyday Christian life.

Um no, the bible is simply the result of new mythology spinning off of old mythology. The earliest Hebrews too, manufactured their religion from prior Canaanite mythology. 

And what is to "learn" from that old book of mythology? Humans do not magically pop out of dirt. The planet and life on it was not made in 6 days. Babies are not born without a second set of DNA with super powers, humans also do not survive death as the bible would imply. And outside the fantastic claims, I do not find stories like killing off the Egyptian first born males moral for some beef God has with an adult. Nor do I find the mythology of genocide of the flood moral either.

You have faith yes, but do not tell me anything about an old book of mythology has anything to do with our modern understanding of life, our planet or the universe for that matter.
