If Jesus was the Son of God the natural outcome should have been just one Holy Book or Bible with the OT as "before" and the NT as "after", why did'nt it evolve thus?

The reason that I asked is some PG-13 movies are raciser than R rated movies because of the sexual content or adult content and use of rough cursing words that could be use in R rated movies.
Please help me.

Isaiah 32
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal , nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

Leviticus 19:28 says and you must not make cuts in your flesh for a deceased soul and you must not put tatto marking upon your selves. and Colossians 2:23 self imposed form of worship and mock humility asevere treatment of the body but they are of no value in combating the satisfying of the flesh.
So the bible clearly states that severe treatment of the body is not what god wants. some beat there selves with chains and walk on thier knees til they bled and suffer to serve God and yet the bible says that is not the right thing to do. So why do they do it?
In a play the man carried a bloody cross. thought it was kind of extreem but what purpose was it to serve? Just curious?

Consider all of the people who live in the remote regions of the world who have never even heard the "gospel" of Jesus Christ. Consider the people who have naturally adhered to the religion of their parents and nation as they had been taught to do since birth. If we are to believe the Christians, all of these people will perish in the eternal fire for not believing in Jesus. It does not matter how just, kind, and generous they have been with their fellow humans during their lifetime: if they do not accept the gospel of Jesus, they are condemned. No just God would ever judge a man by his beliefs rather than his actions.

They offered the best available medical service at that time and cared for all people free of charge. Muslims are honour-bound to provide treatment for the sick, whoever they may be.

The first organised hospital was built in Cairo in 872CE. The Ahmad ibn Tûlûn Hospital treated and gave free medicine to all patients. It provided separate bath houses for men and women, a rich library and a section for the insane.

Patients deposited their street clothes with the hospital authorities for safe keeping, before donning special ward clothes and being assigned to their beds. Each patient would also have his or her own medical record.

Hospitals like these flourished as Muslim rulers competed to see who could construct the most dvanced centres. They spread all over the Muslim world reaching Sicily and North Africa.The earliest Muslim hospitals were funded by charitable religious endowments, called waqf, and some money from the state coffers was also used to maintain some hospitals.

Why would he create infinite punishment for finite sins?

God is perfectly just, and yet he sentences the imperfect humans he created to infinite suffering in hell for finite sins. Clearly, a limited offense does not warrant unlimited punishment. God's sentencing of the imperfect humans to an eternity in hell for a mere mortal lifetime of sin is infinitely injust. The absurdity of this infinite punishment appears even greater when we consider that the ultimate source of the human's imperfection is the God who created them. A perfectly just God who sentences his imperfect creation to infinite punishment for finite sins is impossible.

No one wants to be labeled.
No one wants to be alienated
We are all very curious on the Big 3 questions
We all have different lives and experiences, right
God or no god, we are still here
Evolution or creation, what has it gotten us
we are still here
We all want to know why
We all want to know how other people see it differently
Why should their be confusion
Who figured out the control aspect of knowledge first
Are they the ones who first created money
Because they saw other people stopped contributing
Did this create a gap and let power initiate
But is power bad, just a system of energy transference
Are we all really weak minded, and need religion or spirituality
Or is it in place for some weakminded people that choose to not be responsible
But for others, is a pool of laborers, that choose not to know the Big 3(might as well use them for something, right)
The Us and Them mentality exists but doesn't, but it's all how you want to see it. I still see it as only Us.

According to the bible he does!!


Taken from the book of Job chapter one:

6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

9Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Do you think he talks about you? or gambles with your life?

What are the Bahai teachings of physical intimacy?
I know that premarital or extramarital sex and homosexuality is prohibited in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. What about teachings concerning lesser acts of intimacy, such as kissing? And in what texts are these teachings found?
