So the new testament is fine, but not a new new testament?

Yes when the old prophesied the coming of the ONE true king and he appeared yes.

Then 600 years later a guy who married a 12 year old claims to be a prophet. lol sure buddy.

The old and New Testament are historically accurate. Not just one man account of an event. It’s backed by hundreds of eye witnesses and backed by historical evidence. People died claiming Christ is king. His followers were brutally murdered and still none recanted what happened.

As for me I’ll stick with guy who didn’t sin over a pedophile

480 BC — The Battle of Salamis

This battle ended any realistic chance of the Persian Empire conquering Greece.

It may never have happened if the Athenians hadn’t discovered a rich silver deposit at Laurium and, instead of dividing the wealth, followed Themistocles’ plan to build a navy.

History often turns on a single decision.

I don’t think many people realize how pivotal Salamis was. Had Persia conquered Greece, the development of Greek civilization—and much of what later became Western civilization—might have been very different.

Bertrand Russell believed it was one of history’s great turning points.

And 33 yrs later ……. there was a resurrection. No big deal, right?

He makes a point. This has shaped the world and not in a good way. Every day it gets worse.

1964-- The Beatles and their three groundbreaking appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show. A cultural revolution through music, and a major uplift after the post-JFK assassination malaise. The era of innocence was over; old-fangled rock & roll was transforming into rock, much of which had real artistic worth.

Also noteworthy was the explosion in US involvement in a very divisive hot war in Vietnam following the Tonkin Gulf incident in August of that year. This became the prototype of "endless, winless wars" built upon lies by the Chief Executive, which just continue, regrettably to this very day.

Calendar? Modern Western Civilization itself is built on Christian ethics. The crucifiction, regardless of your beliefs and what if inspires should be #1.

So the old objective moral code needed to get updated with the new objective moral code?

You didn’t even address anything is either post because you can’t. You simply try to ask the same question a different way. Sad
