Neither Jesus, nor any of the prophets and saints before him, EVER READ THE BIBLE.
Christianity is but one tiny portion of Godhead's infinite forms of religiosity and spiritual vision. It cannot say that those who do not accept Christ all go to hell, etc. That idea is madness and as stupid as Islam. Modern new testament Christianity is almost the same as bhakti yoga, otherwise. Bhakti is above religiosity. The external religion changes over the ages, but bhakti remains the core.

This is incorrect. There are many instances where Lord Jesus demonstrates he has a deep familiarity with the Torah (Bible/Old Testament). In order to qualify as a rabbi, which we find him referred to as in the New Testament, one must have completed a study of Israelite scripture. Notice that in his life no one accused him of being ignorant of Torah, but only of blasphemy. His teachings simply elucidated what was already there, defining and clarifying scripture. There is no conflict between the written revealed and spiritual life.
Yes, of course.
You have taken it, due to my wording, that I was saying they did not read scriptures? No, I specify Bible. The Torah is not the Bible, Maharajah. I am not incorrect.
Christianity of the modern times utilizes a perverted altered political concoction they call the Bible. Same with all the preceded; there was no Bible. You have pointed out that these previous saints etc were learned in scriptures, which is of course usually correct, but not the Bible. That is my point. We are not dependent upon the Bible of the Romans.
Thanks for reading and commenting! It gets very slow around here sometimes

The King James Bible is a Catholic Bible that's wrote in English...It has many truths and good stories,,,and it's also full of man made Pagan Lies....The Gospels all sound good,,,But they are a big Lie,,,just like all of the new testament.
This fringe idea has been soundly refuted and disproven even by secular scholars.
Ridiculous. How could they have read the Bible, when it did not exist until hundreds, or thousands, of years afterwards ? They read many things, but the Bible is a modern concoction, that's a simple fact.
