[QUOTE="zephcom, post: 71896316, member: 400000"] I don't trust that the mere humans accurately recorded Jesus' words. In fact, it is painfully obvious they didn't since the Gospels have different last words of Jesus. But they are the only first Century writings of His words available to us. Often I will qualify Jesus' teachings by saying "as recorded in the Bible" simply because there is no known method of verifying those words. And clearly our English translations fall far short of accurately portraying the ancient texts. But through it all, one can see the profound nature of His teaching and how different it is from the commentary which surrounds it. At least for me, Jesus could have been mere human Himself without any credentials at all and His teaching on how to live a successful and spiritual life in this realm would still resonate as a special insight.
