"The lord" is just fine with me as I am. The Bible says so.
Those four books have been altered, mis-translated, edited and basically shot to hell. I think the closest thing we have (in English) to the actual words of the historical Jesus is The Gospel of Thomas. It's in the Nag Hammadi collection. You should check it out and re-ponder those parables.
Is a later gnostic forgery. Nope, not checking that out. As if the early church just whoopsied and forgot to include Thomas. Wake up man, you're being misled.
The 4 gospels are true to the original texts, and agree on the main message of salvation (excluding the translation the Catholic Church made, no surprises there). The 4 gospels are dated the earliest, and all point to the same message.
You didn't even address the Salvation Doctrine question – nor can you find that or any reference to "Hell" in any words of the historical Jesus. Both are products of the Church and Danté's Inferno.
Christ came. Everyone misunderstood, and now there's Christianity.
The oldest fragment of any gospel found is that from Thomas, estimated to be from 45 AD. 2nd place is a fragment from what looks like Mark, circa 130 AD, about a century after Mr. Christ transfigured into the heavens (rescued by his bretheren from the home planet, no doubt). It was bastardized from there, and the birth/crucifixion stories were added later.
I was raised a Southern Baptist and studied Christian history at University. I later found the truth. Best of luck to you.
Is this real? This group is your truth? Seems like a lovely group of people. Please note sarcasm. Seriously this is what they want to teach kids. Think you found a cult. https://www.rael.org/events/international-sexed-day/
If you want to call Raelians a "cult" there would be many other groups that would fall under that definition. We're atheistic, science-based, not required to attend meetings or worship anything at all. Episcopalians are more of a cult than we are.
The messages about teaching kids sexuality center around healthy knowledge of the human body, without the bullshit notions of "guilt" and "rules" that religions have foisted on humanity for centuries. This is another Raelian org., for your interest.

That's most clearly not what the Bible says.

Absolute nonsense.
