There shouldn't be any more importance in a statement made by Jesus than any other passage of the bible. It all supposedly came from God anyway...2 Tim 3:16. Anti-Christian posts as you put it focus on dividing the Bible's teaching into those 2 categories because they haven't read the whole thing (most likely) and assume that the passages actually spoken by Jesus are more accurate than the 'men' that wrote the others.....just a guess<br><b>References : </b><br> All very good answers.

Sid says elves are mortal, Tolkien says no they are immortal. which is right? obviously tolkien as the books are his creation, while Sid may be well respected and his word creditable ultimately he is a scholar of something forged by Tolkien. the same rules apply with jesus in christianity. Followers of another faith majorically believe that the bible has segments of heavenly and true prophets words mixed in with at the best, misguided and at worst infidel writers. The other faith followers will only value what has been said by the prophets of their faith nonbelievers believe that all writing in the bible was done by man the nonbelievers attack more the words of Jesus because “Followers of Christ” translates to “Followers of Jesus” which the nonbelievers therefore see as the most important thing to disprove and dismiss as it is challenging the faith as opposed to the teachings of an acknowledged non deity such as Mathew.<br><b>References : </b><br> Look at it this way, tolkien the writer of Lord of the rings, and the biggest fan lets call him sid the reviewer.

I don't discount any of it. It is all the Word of God. I admit that the words of Jesus are my favorite, but there are some wonderful passages in other parts of the Bible too.
