not that much at all!

Answer 1

About six A4 pages, and that would not get much of a following.

Answer 2

Jesus was a really humble man and he was God too, so he let others tell the story so he would not be pointing to himself and be like Satan, saying look at all the things I did, me me me. So you must remember God started at the end and build knowledge of the Bible from today backwards and that is why the Bible says this; Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
So understand the Bible has exactly what each son of God needed to hear as it is. But only Sons of God have power to put the pieces together that way it belongs ( the Puzzle of what it all means). So size is not important but quality of the words is what is more important issue. The book is exactly the right size and to believe differently is to say God didn't know what he was doing, I for one cannot say that.

Answer 3

Interesting question! Jesus' teaching are in the Bible, but not just in the words that the Bible records him as speaking. Really, all 27 books of the New Testament are the teachings of Jesus. Plus, the New Testament quotes, references, ratifies and endorses a great deal of the teachings of the Old Testament too. Therefore, much of the Old Testament is also the teaching of Jesus. When Jesus came on earth, he ended the need to follow certain teachings of the Old Testament concerning ritual animal sacrifice, tribal customs, worship format, and other legalistic things. That is mainly what is in the Old Testament that is not included in the teachings of Jesus.

Answer 4

The Bible says that everything that Jesus did could not have been contained in one book. Any religion or culture could only TRY to immitate him sincerely but all would fail to a certain extent because he was the only person to be born and remain perfect his whole life.

Answer 5

Jesus teachings are not just the words you read but the life you read... he lived and died for God in 32 years... so, I say, it would be as thick as any books you have known that deals and talks about God.
Jesus as have been as always been is an intelectual being, he is knowledgeable of all religion as you might have noticed about his answers and ways of explaining them. So, the closest thing I could say is the Democratic Governance of National Bureau of every Nation, where faith and fear of God is present.

Answer 6

Constantine is declared to have met Christ spiritually at the same time as he became a Christian. i do no longer recognize if the "in this signal conquer" tale is authentic. In any adventure, its no longer contained in the Bible. The e book of Acts tells us that Saul (who become later renamed Paul) met the Risen Christ bodily, at the same time as he become knocked blind on his thanks to Damascus (to persecute Christians), and Jesus stated to him, "that is demanding that you should kick adverse to the pricks." God the Son, Jesus, worked miracles in Paul, to exhibit that he become authentic, and afterwards, God did many, many miracles with the help of Paul, to verify his apostleship. Paul did not change Jesus' preparation, he equipped on it. Jesus first got here as a guy to the Jews in user-friendly words, to work out in the adventure that they could settle for him as Messiah. commonly, they did not. So after the Jews' very last rejection (which become the Crucifixion) God appointed Saul (Paul) because the apostle to the Gentiles, as well as to the Jews. Paul become the guy who confident all the different Jewish acquaintances of Jesus, that the Gospel of Jesus become for Gentiles AND Jews. That wasn't a contradiction to Jesus' preparation--it merely wasn't the right time for it at the same time as Jesus become strolling on earth, as he got here to God's chosen human beings first. (notwithstanding he did heal various Gentiles residing with the Jews, at the same time as they requested him to.) Trinity--i have heard the declare earlier that Constantine invented the Trinity. i imagine you should work out for your self that the Bible teaches the Trinity. go with the help of the Gospels, and count number what percentage cases "the daddy, Son, and Holy Spirit" are suggested all jointly, as a team spirit. Even the former testomony provides tricks of the Trinity. Elohim (plural for God) is utilized in Genesis, and yet God speaks as One. what percentage "adult males" got here to announce to Abraham and Sarah that they could get their lengthy-awaited infant the subsequent 3 hundred and sixty 5 days? 3. There are others, dig into the Bible and word the position they are! also different close acquaintances of Jesus DID upload to Jesus teachings, no longer to contradict him, yet Jesus had extra issues that he needed contained in the Bible after he went to Heaven. Paul wasn't the in user-friendly words man or woman who wrote books for the recent testomony. Jesus' close acquaintances John and Peter also did.

Answer 7

Here is what Jesus said in matthew 22:37-40

37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I think those three verses are all anyone needs.
