To quote from Romans 3, "let God be true, and every man a liar".

Do I think you are putting yourself above God? I was being honest when I said that, and I stick to it. Having looked up some of the modern thinkers you've put forth, such as Crossan, and seeing there own connection to the that travesty that is the Jesus Seminar, I stick even more to it. Any group that wants to contend that the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas is truer to Christ then the Gospels of the Bible cannot be taken seriously by me, except as one takes a sickness seriously, and if these are the kinds of people you want to put forth as the hope for Christianity in a postmodern world, then Christianity has no hope.

But I will not prune and deform God's Word simply to fit my own ideas. Jesus did not come so that we could change His life and words to fit ourselves, but to change us, to make us right with God, not God right with us.
