This may surprise non-Christian ignoramuses, but the Bible is in fact longer than the Sermon on the Mount.
The line about "apostolic Christianity" is particularly funny when the "foremost apostle" Paul* was by far the most ruthless on homosexuality out of any writer of the Bible. Read Romans 1. Usually they try to weasel out of this by pointing out that Paul is not Jesus, as if 62 out of the 66 books are just nice suggestions.
edit: I got this wrong, Paul does not claim to be chief among the apostles, but instead that he isn't inferior to other apostles. I was thinking of 2 Corinthians 11:5.
“Go forth and sin no more” was the punishment for being saved by Jesus from a stoning. The pseudo Christian arguments completely forget Jesus explicitly said lethal self defense and whipping heathens are morally allowed.
This is from a verse that is believed by many to be a forgery, since it only appears in earlier manuscripts, but not older ones. Many bibles have John 8 start at verse 12, for this reason, or otherwise have a very obvious note explaining this. You can research this by googling "Pericope adulterae".
Do you mean when Jesus told his followers to take swords, and then condemned Peter when he cut off the ear of the slave of the high priest? "Live by the sword, die by the sword".
Jesus has the authority to forgive sins. Does that mean that all Christians also have the authority to forgive sins? Just because Jesus did something, it doesn't mean that all Christians have that authority.
What is considered to be "the bible"? What counts as "Scripture"? Does it include the book of Enoch? Maccabees? Does it include verses that are only present in younger manuscripts, but not more recently found older manuscripts?
