As a matter of fact, I have read the N.T. (King James version). Your first quotation to me really struck me: "...false prophets are gone out into the world" John 4/1. Exactly. I can't know for certain who is the false prophet and who is the true prophet, can I. Do I just have to follow your opinion as to who are the false prophets, or should I use my god-given brain to figure it out for myself?

Re the history of the black slaves in America and also the Indians: I do strongly suspect that there has been much exaggeration here, but if even 10% of what I read is true, that is bad enough. By what RIGHT do jews and Christians, colluding with Moslems (in Africa) tear people away from their families and haul them 10,000 miles away to work as unpaid labourers, occasionally selling them and separating them AGAIN from their new families? What you like to have this done to you? Mind you, I do feel that we have more than compensated their descendants for this giant SIN, but we are still reaping the whirlwind. Only God know when we have tried hard enough to compensate for the suffering our ancestors inflicted on the black people of Africa. Some things are just plain wrong, and taking people for slaves is one of them, Bible or no Bible. So is infant circumcision, which that clever dog Abraham knew to have a powerful effect on the infant's brain - he knew it would ultimately produce a tribe of people who matured earlier than gentiles, and gave them a peculiar outlook on life and other humans. It's EUGENICS, Russ. Corner a jewish scholar or rabbi, and see if you can get him to admit this. They KNOW what circn does to a race of people, over generations, and that is why they are hell bent on continuing the practice.
