THAT is not the "basics" of Christianity. You are correct however, I don't understand everything in the Bible but who does? Just because someone doesn't understand something doesn't render it invalid.
Of all people, I didn't think you 2dimes, would be the one trying to poke holes in the faith of others. Guess we live and learn.
Sure Jay switch it up. I am persicuting you.
If I was trying to poke holes in your faith I would tell you to give up pork. Not to try and understand what you are debating.
You don't know what you are talking about and it's showing. If you don't want to learn that's cool but you might as well go away and stop trying to debate with Heavy Cola. You are painfully unqualified.
He wants to know why you have to keep some of the ten comandments and not the others. Niether of you know.
As for the question "who understands everything in the bible?" Those who don't believe it is a living text, filled with stories and histories of a bunch of guys that tried to fit God in with everyday life back in a time when they didn't have bicycles, yet they think and feel a lot like me.
Rather than some static literal fact book.
The pope is credited with that isn't he?
In conclusion I believe the basics of Christianity should be what Jesus said were the most important things. "Love God with everything and love your nieghbor as you love yourself." Move next door, maybe I'll be nicer.
The old covanant is rendered obsolete when it is completed by those two directions that he further explained the entire law is covered by if you actually can pull off those two seemingly simple ones.
I challenge anyone to take a shot at just treating other people as if they are the most important person you've ever met. Try it for a while and watch how your own life improves. You don't have to believe anything it works on it's own that's what makes it truth.
