The Gospel of The Kingdom of Heaven was taught 3+ years prior to his arrest for teaching it. The speculation and conjecture that we were actually supposed to sacrifice the Son to the Father came latter.

When you encountered Christianity it was a ready-made religion that told you how to think even though its nonsensical.
I think what you really mean to say is that if a person rejects your notions of what scripture teaches, they will arrive at different conclusions. That is very true, and why I don't find your ideas very helpful spiritually speaking. You seem far more concerned with defending your poor interpretations of scripture, than in pursuing knowledge and truth. Someone can believe in God fully, and also fully accept science for what it is and what it shows us, without becoming an atheist.
Perhaps, that is what you fear the most. That you will lose your faith if you entertain the idea that how you've been thinking about these matters, is not the only way to understand them? I tend to suspect that is true. Why else should you kick so hard against the pricks, Saul?
I don't see any errors. This is the claim that fell apart for me once I read for myself without all this nonsense said about errors and so called contradictions. . I ve heard them all pretty much . There is plenty of radical skeptic websites that list supposed contradictions only to find they have no clue with what they are saying about the verses .
Garbage . I was an atheist set out to prove it wrong .

But the biblical canon can’t possibly be wrong...

It was already made. They may not have known that Jesus taught a Gospel for 3 years. Christians tend to quote Paul more than Jesus. Should be Paulanity.

The Canon of Scripture isn’t wrong.

Did you notice your post was #666?
How do you know that?

When I was born again, I was given the Holy Spirit, He leads me into all Truth. That’s how I am able to discern truth from error.

That is only because you are using the Ostrich Defense. Hiding one's head in the sand does not work in real life. And now it looks like you are admitting to either dishonesty or an inability to understand. You cannot refute the problems in the Bible, all you can do is to pretend that they do not exist.
Why are you dodging a reasonable question? How would you properly test your beliefs?

That does not appear to be the case. It is an empty claim that you make but cannot justify.

How do you know? What’s the proof?

So, you never have to worry about not acing another test, or the odd phishing scam, then?
True, I find because pre-human heavenly Jesus was sent by his God from heaven to earth for us that he is divine.
I find No Scriptural teaching that dead Jesus ( Acts 2:27) took up 'it' (his life) up again of his own volition.
This is what I find: At Acts of the Apostles 2:24,32; Acts of the Apostles 3:15; Acts of the Apostles 5:30; Acts of The Apostles 10:40; Acts of the Apostles 13:30,37; Romans 4:24; Galatians 1:1; Colossians 2:12 B; 1 Thessalonians 1:10
that the God of Jesus resurrected Jesus , or that God raised up His Son. In other words, dead Jesus did Not resurrect himself.
By saying the 'Gospel of The Kingdom of Heaven' sounds as if you are speaking about going to the Kingdom.
Jesus taught for God's kingdom to come ( thy kingdom come..... Luke 4:43 )
In other words, instead of praying to be 'taken up' to the kingdom, or 'taken away' to the kingdom Jesus instructed to pray for God's Kingdom to come, and God's Will be done right here on Earth as it is done in Heaven.
So, the Gospel or Good News of God's Kingdom is that God's Kingdom Government to come and govern over Earth.
This coming Kingdom would be coming after a long line of earthly political kingdoms or governments - Daniel 2:44.
In other words, 'the end game' is now at hand, and the time for Jesus to come (Rev. 22:20) is near at hand.
How do you discern experiencing an actual God versus you imagining it? Provide the test in reality.
Who told you to call to God in the first place, and why did you believe them? Did you ask for facts, or just accept what they told you?
Well that's a first. I've never heard anyone ever claim this is the proper interpretation.
None of this makes any sense. Certainly your God knew Jesus was going to be used as a sacrifice, yes? Or does your God not see the future and it is acting only on available information in the moment?
And if the God didn't know Jesus was going to be sacrificed why did God accept Jesus' death as a sacrifice at all? Just an opportunity? The whole Jesus myth is absurd, but your version takes it to a new level. None of your view is workable or consistent.
Be an atheist, that's your wake up call.
What is God made up of is it is substance?
Tens of thousands were crucified. Many were rescued. It was a brutal punishment by the Romans. It's not like Jesus suffered any worse than the other people.
