I did not edit anything that mislead anyone. I edited to make my question more direct.

You omitted the first part of the sentence and so changed the meaning of the words that you did not omit.

Not in the least.

So, you have some faith in His teachings?

"Faith" in what sense?

I don't think Jesus was a divine being or God or supernatural in any way. I don't have "faith" in him in that sense.

Do you have faith in His teachings? since you live by some of them supposedly?

This is the sentence I wrote: The supernatural aspects attributed to Jesus as a human being and to his teachings are of no practical moral use to me.

You deleted:

The supernatural aspects attributed to Jesus as a human being and to....

This changed the meaning of the remaining words which were the only ones you quoted.

I believe that much of what Jesus is said to have taught is morally sound and a good template for a life well-lived, but I do not have "faith" in Jesus; I am not a Christian.

I think many of his teachings make moral sense and I would say I have clearly and understandably absorbed them into my moral compass.

This is what I copy and pasted from your post:
and to his teachings which are of no practical moral use to me.
So how does this change the meaning of what you stated on the teachings of Jesus?
I don't much care right now if you believe in the supernatural.

Because omitting the first half of the sentence ~ "The supernatural aspects attributed to Jesus as a human being and to his teachings are of no practical moral use to me" ~ changed the meaning of what I had clearly said.

Let's turn my sentence into two sentences and see if you can edit-to-mislead once again.

"The supernatural aspects attributed to Jesus as a human being are of no practical moral use to me"

"The supernatural aspects attributed to his teachings are of no practical moral use to me"

"The supernatural aspects attributed to Jesus as a human being are ...[text shortened]... to me"

"The supernatural aspects attributed to his teachings are of no practical moral use to me"

You lying as you're spinning in circles on your liars hamster wheel. Enjoy.

Well, it's at the very core of why I am not a Christain. You seem strangely fixated on my lack of belief in Jesus - as the being that Christians believe him to be - for someone who started a thread entitled "Does one need to believe in Jesus for salvation."

Edit this sentence, if you can...

"The supernatural aspects attributed to his teachings are of no practical moral use to me"

so that it means this:

"his teachings are of no practical moral use to me"

And so that it resonates with this from page 9:

"I don't think Jesus was a divine being or God or supernatural in any way. So, while I think that much of what Jesus is said to have taught is very morally sound and a good template for a life well-lived, I don't subscribe to what Christians claim about the significance of his Jesus' life on the supernatural level."

I'm not fixated on anything to do with you.
You say you believe in the teachings of Jesus when it comes to good works and that they help steer your moral compass.
Then out of the other side of your mouth, you say that half the teachings of Christ you do not believe, and that the teachings of Christ do not steer your moral compass. So which is it liar boy?

So you do not believe the Bible teachings of Christ to be accurate? You picked and chose the ones that you like and said to yourself, the rest are lies?

Yes. I subscribe to some of Jesus' teachings. They make moral sense to me.
