So how about a Christianity that didn't bother with the OT, that didn't try to link the life of Jesus to a bunch of prophecies but just focused on what Jesus taught? What kind of religion would that be? Would it still have heaven and hell? Would Satan be some kind of being or just a reflection of the bad things in peoples minds? Would sin mean the same? Would repentance mean the same?
Would Christians still be out trying to sell the rest of the world on their doctrine? Would the Gospel of Thomas be included in the writings of Jesus? What would God mean? What is the kingdom of God or heaven? Would you go there when you die?
What about all the promises of miracles the disciples could do? Would this religion promote practices that would sharpen people's miracle doing abilities instead of worrying about pie in the sky? Would it even be around today without Paul and the OT?
What do you experts on the topic of the NT think?
