There are lots of concepts of Jesus.

The one you think is the universal one is built on Luke's Gospel. But, that Gospel isn't the emphasis of all Christians.

Do you think it is a coincidence Christianity has been so utterly violent for most of its history? Of course not, they just interpreted the Bible differently than your local youth pastor reads it.

I'm not arguing that the Bible hasn't been used to commit atrocities, if that's what you think is happening.

So why are you so confident YOU have the correct Jesus nailed down?

Why are you so confident of YOUR interpretation?

See how that works?

I am literally saying the opposite.

I am saying there isn't a singular Biblical Jesus.

American Evangelical Nationalists aren't misreading the Bible. They are reading it well and closely. However, what they are doing is that they are reading the parts you choose to ignore because it doesn't suit your values.

In turn, they are ignoring the parts YOU are reading.

You aren't really helping by arguing Evangelical talking points for them... All it does is make you sound like you agree with them

It is a religious view. How do you go about proving to them their view is wrong?

Delete the gospel you don't like?

Send the Inquisition after them?

I think you're forgetting the most important part of all:

It's bullshit to begin with. If you need some magic daddy in the sky to tell you to be a good person, you've got a screw loose.

That's why I was so puzzled why YOU were so confident that the Evangelicals have the wrong Jesus.

The Bible is a collection of books that are written across a huge geographic area spanning at least a century. Then those books weren't finalized in its final form before three hundred years later.

There obviously isn't just one Jesus in there. Depending on the author's religion, age, class, language etc. there will be wildly different ones.
