7. Jesus was not divine
the scriptures are doctored and they have been misinterpreted ever since the Council of Nicea decided to promote their own version of those texts in the fourth century AD. What we read in the scriptures cannot be taken literally, at least not in the context of revealed truth. An example is the death of Jesus, which is a spiritual death, not a physical death on a cross.

As for "End Time" the Book of Revelation is just that, a "revelation", not a prophecy. Even theologians are divided on what Revelation really means.
