Hello :)
Although there are many varieties of Christianity, it seems legitimate to say that a tenet of most of the varieties of Christianity is the belief that all of the Bible (Old plus New Testament) is the word of a deity called God who is alleged to have commanded people to "Love your neighbor as yourself." It does not seem to occur to the adherents of Christianity that it is a logical contradiction to claim that the Bible consists only of the word of God, and to also claim that God commanded people to "Love your neighbor as yourself."
This logical contradiction is admittedly not immediately apparent; so it will now be shown in a step-by-step manner. As a first step, another and greater commandment, which was allegedly also made by God, reads, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." The commandment to "Love your neighbor as yourself" is specified to be like it. Given that were to be true, one of the consequences of that similarity would be that the phrase "Love your neighbor" would be similar to the phrase "love the Lord thy God". From this similarity, it would be seen that the first and foremost "neighbor" of humanity would be "the Lord thy God". It would logically follow that if God were a neighbor of humanity, then humanity would be a neighbor of God. Given that this were to be the situation, it would logically follow that if and when God were to preserve His words in books, then He would also preserve the words of His neighbor, humanity, in those very same books. God would do this because doing this would be to love His neighbor, humanity, as He loves Himself. If God were to preserve the words of humanity in the same books in which He were to preserve His own words, then it would be a logical contradiction to say that the Bible is only the word of God. It would instead logically be correct to say that the Bible is the word of God plus the word of humanity.
Some people might be tempted to say that this reasoning is merely logic and therefore inapplicable to a divinity. If that allegation were to be made, then it would be appropriate to mention that the Bible itself admits that it contains the word of humanity in addition to the word of God. This admission was made at Matthew 13:33 and again at Luke 13:21. To save time, the King James Version (KJV) of Matthew 13:33 reads, "Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." Luke 13:21 is similar and the KJV of it reads, "It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." Their commonality reads, "Is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." Given that this admission is true, then it logically follows that "leaven" has been hidden in every book of the Bible ("the whole was leavened"). Given that this were the situation, then it seems logical that Christianity would be divid

dont switch your brain off... but please put it in the backseat!
heretic, you sound like you are in the dark. Maybe you think that what you are saying is impressive?
Please know this, I am not trying to sound closed or arrogant at all, but I really dont want to argue with you.
Your position is really muddled. Come to Jesus, just open your heart to Him and the gospel and he will make the scriptures clear to you. Otherwise its just going to be a closed door to you. God is not the God of the ignorant, but he will resist intellectuals who try to level with Him.
I fear men who talk like you, you dont have eyes to see or ears to hear, and worst of all you dont know that.
If you would just humble yourself, God will make himself known to you, and you would later laugh/cringe at what you write here
