The method of purification of Bible suggested by me is reasonably inferred from the above Jesus’ core teachings.
1. “This is the first and greatest commandment” hence, I think, Jesus would be happy if it is used as touch stone of his teachings and those which contradict with it are dubious and must be discarded.
2. “All the Law”; here he means that his teachings are for revival of Moses’ law; those of his teachings that conform to it only that must be accepted the rest discarded. This adds further purity to # 1.
3. “And the Prophets”; if the teachings have been mentioned by the prophets that further would ensure correctness.
4. “Love your neighbor as yourself”; all teachings that your neighbors don’t understand being mythical, not accepted by common sense and unreasonable should not be accepted.
Quran also confirms this principle:
[3:8] He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it there are verses that are decisive in meaning — they are the basis of the Book — and there are others that are susceptible of different interpretations. But those in whose hearts is perversity pursue such thereof as are susceptible of different interpretations, seeking discord and seeking wrong interpretation of it. And none knows its right interpretation except Allah and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge; they say, ‘We believe in it; the whole is from our Lord.’ — And none heed except those gifted with understanding. —

I think with this measure Judaism, Christianity and Islam; even other revealed religions (Buddhism, Hinduism and Zoroastrianism etc) come on to the same page.
hanks and regards

“Paarsurrey, in the bible, it is recorded that Abe was asked by god to sacrifice his son. By your comment can we say that this retelling of the narrative is not factual or what is your stand?” Unquote
Bible is neither authored by Abraham nor by Moses. Its different books have been authored by anonymous narrators and the scribes. It is not the original Word of God in the original language revealed.
Dreams and visions are always or most often interpret-able.
It only meant that Abraham and his offspring shall have to face hardships in the path of God (Allah Yahweh Tao) and would have to devout their lives; in service of the humanity for its ethical, moral and spiritual uplift.
Abraham and Ishmael were sure about it from their experience with the One-True-God; they knew that the He won’t let them accomplish an unreasonable act; and would bring out reasonable solution of the matter.
And the act of Abraham sacrificing his son Ishmael never happened in literal and real terms.
Abraham and his progeny did devote their lives to the cause of religion and that is how it took place in real terms; and that is what one should focus on.
The matter of as to how to interpret such dreams and visions was settled for all times.

@ makagutu with love
You were born as Christian and everybody around you was a Christian. Yet for some good or bad reasons you became disgruntled with Christianity, Bible and Church; not necessarily with Jesus or Moses.
I think it was a blind and or unreasonable decision; in other words it was not a scientific decision.*
“Whenever I read the bible, I find it full of absurdities that I can’t ignore.”
So:
1. You never finished reading Bible from cover to cover; hence your knowledge of what got revealed on Moses and Jesus remained, sorry to describe it, as shallow.
2. It did not occur to you that the denomination in which you were in; might be wrong; hence you should make a comparative study of the denominations of Christianity to find the truthful denomination from them.
3. You generalized the bitter experience you had of your specific denomination; to other denominations and in haste jumped out of it altogether.
I think yours was a leap in the dark.
Wasn’t it?

“I said the important question was not inerrancy (of NT Bible), but what we know about Jesus, and what we can reasonably believe. This is not a trivial question and there are certainly problems to be solved.” Unquote
I think I agree with unkleE that Jesus is more important than Bible; as it was not written by Jesus.
Bible was written in Jesus’ absence when he traveled to India with his mother Mary.
He did not know what Paul and the Church were doing in his absence.
Hence Jesus is most important.

“You seemed to imply archaeology has supported the Qur’an, whereas it clearly demolishes all claims made in the Pentateuch. What are you talking about? What has it supported? Are you, or are you not conceding Abraham and Moses were not historical characters, as modern archaeology has concluded? Please name these archaeologists you’re talking about and cite what papers have been published on their findings.” Unquote
Archaeology excavates sites; cities and or places; in this case they excavated sites mentioned in the Bible (not mentioned in Quran); if they don’t find any such cities or places , then they imply from it that the persons mentioned in the Bible also might have not existed.
It is not that they excavated the sites to necessarily find names of Abraham or Moses written on a rock.
And definitely they don’t have a list of persons that existed in the world from the date of inception to verity from it names of Abraham or Moses.
I don’t know why you cannot get it.
Do you get it? Please

“I think you’re granting far too much leeway here to people’s beliefs. The simple fact is the Pentateuch is the only source for this god: the god of Abraham and Moses. Take the Pentateuch away and there is NO Abrahamic god. I’m not at all interested in peoples different (later) interpretations of what this god is. I dismiss it at the Pentateuch. Period.” Unquote
I think you have little information about Quran/Islam/Muhammad; we Muslim have nothing to do with “Pentateuch”.
Muhammad received Revelation directly from the One-True-God; our belief is not based on what you describe as “Pentateuch”.
I don’t know as to why you don’t get it? Please

I think it is you who mentioned of some consensus of the archaeologists.
Didn’t you?
I always take Quran the only 100% accurate source of knowledge; none else.

Hello everybody!
Most Issues with the Bible will get diluted; if instead of the peripheral issues one concentrates on the core teachings of Moses and Jesus:
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:36-40
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+22%3A36-40
All the peripheral issues should be interpreted within the scope of the above core teachings of Jesus or else rejected forthwith.
This is a way of reconciliation between the Atheists who were previously Christians; the crowbar need not be applied.
Does this help?

“it is possible to bring down a structure by removing the right component, the right foundational brick. The brick in this case was removed”.
What was the foundational brick of Christianity in your case? Please
