Can you please provide independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed, the four gospels were written decades after the so called events by unknown authors so not eyewitness of the events ,and independently verified evidence that the events of mt 25:51-54 actually happened as even those who didn't believe in jesus would have witnessed those events and so you would think that someone would have recorded them.

The war scrolls, part of the dead sea scrolls ,written by the essene sect . Interesting there are similarities between the war scrolls and the book of revelation apart from the final outcome. The war scrolls predates the book of revelation.
When doing a deep study of revelation do so in comparison with the war scrolls and see if they influenced the author of revelation.

No , it was something like that Christopher hitchens would say in his debates with religious people when they would try and justify their beliefs as true and others had different beliefs who also claimed that they were true.

And jws will be praying for the destruction of Babylon the great for the injustice they are responsible for, which will include born again Christian. Mormons and other Christian religions will be doing the same because of their interpretation of jesus and the bible.
Islamic religions will be doing the same wanting the destruction of all religion too.
They all can't be right, but they all can be wrong.

And yet most Christians will be happy to disregard leviticus 19:19 and wear clothes with mixed fibers, wool and linen.
Leviticus 11 :9-12 only eat seafood that has fins and scales, many Christians will ignore that also and enjoy shellfish.
Cherry picking scriptures a Christian pastime.

Interesting the book of Matthew was written by a unknown author some 40 years after the so called events and doesn't claim to be a eyewitness, the earliest copy of Matthew is dated around 250/60 ce .
So how can anyone with any certainly make any claims as what was said and what was meant by the words Matthew 26:27,28.
Sea breeze maybe your right and jws are wrong or jws are right and your wrong or your both right or both wrong.

Its manipulation and coercive control over the people in attendance, that worldly people are bad associations and any information that is not approved by the org should be avoided, because they know that jws will then question what they have been told. And discover that they have been lied too .
All religions gaslight there believers that they are the only true religion and they should believe the fantasies that they promotes as true. They don't want them to do independent research into the bible and find out that the bible is the uninspired word of man.

Did you consider Paul as false prophet?
by PeterNobody indear brothers!

Since Paul's letters preceded the four anonymous gospels by a few decades, it is thought that he started the Christian cult .
Professor James Tabor a biblical scholar of Judaism and early christianity has written books and YouTube lectures about Paul's involvement in the movement. Well worth a consideration.
