Not sure what your point is, here. There are things that Jesus believed the Jews had right, which apparently were found in certain prophecies within the scriptures that were held by them as being from God. I don't find that as an endorsement from Jesus as the whole of Judaism being correct, otherwise what was the purpose of his coming.

Again I thank you for your comments
I find it Holy for in it I find the prophesies of the Anointed Jesus that's all I need to make it Holy.
The rest we are not in agreement. I'm a scholar for one my Professor of theology is another.
I hope this can be put to rest that we just are not in agreement I bless you just the same.
1. Why is it that God lets half the world starve? Surely this isn't part of his divine plan.

Think of this and other disasters not as his divine plan.
Think of them as divine tests.
And we are failing these tests miserably.
(ie helping others less fortunate).

That is because real Christianity can not be allowed to exist, by the powers that be, so it is always attacked and from the inside in the form of infiltrators who pretend to be followers but work to subvert it and make it ineffectual.
All the blaming of god for the bad things rightfully should be placed on the people who have failed and have accepted a fake version, which is, just believe and then take it easy while waiting for some future mythical event to fix everything for us.
Not anyone you know but the people who get into positions of power, just a in how things work today in politics, the same thing happened in religion.
Are you saying that all the 'bad' Christians are infiltrators? Because I don't believe that. I think anyone can be a Real Christian. Real Christianity CAN and does exist, in people's hearts and lives. It's rare, but it's there.

Better results can be had by looking up, "gap theory".

This sounds like a selfish explanation to me and seems to promote indolence by not facing a course of action laid before you, but a way of having inner reflection concerning ideas about appreciation.
As we go through this life we learn so much,ask yourself:
Can you appreciate the good without the bad?

I guess according to your philosophy, Jesus should have just stayed home and minded his own business, since after he died and went to heaven, he could not help the blind and crippled, could he?
But can few make it on their own?

That just sounds like a really self centered outlook, seeing how there is no one to blame and the world for you is what you create.

I mean people sitting around being unhappy about that there does seems to be an evil system in place, but just assuming that the Cosmos made it that way for their personal progress, by having to just sit there and try to be happy about it, seems selfish.
