When you were referring to Free Will I was anticipating a more broader definition. In Canada, you can practice what religion you'd like this is true.
Sure it isNo, It's not salvageable at this point.
It seems to me that Western Christianity has been dying on the vine for some time now, becoming more of an antiquated ritual than a rational belief system. What was considered to be answers to the mysteries of life 2,000 years ago are now being relegated to the realms of fantasy and superstition. For example, the Virgin Birth, Holy Trinity and Jesus' physical ascension to Heaven are now acknowledged to be "miracles" without any basis in fact or logic.
Conversely, the teachings of Jesus remain as relevant today as they did when he first spoke of them. Reading a "red letter" (aka Jeffersonian) Biblical account of his actual words leaves a much different impression than does the Apostle's Creed and other subsequent creations. Is the validity of his teachings solely dependent on the musings of his metaphysical status?
Perhaps it is time for Christianity to focus more on what Jesus said rather than debate what he was.

You don't even know who the House of Israel is."I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." - Jesus to the disciples.
"Go only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." -Jesus to the disciples.
Focus on those words.
Why would you say that?You don't even know who the House of Israel is.
"I am Joseph, your brother." (And I will carry you on my shoulders.)I am Joseph, your brother. Do you think (you) understand this? (FIFY)
As relevant but to a smaller group.Jesus is still relevant today, just not as relevant as he once was. This is cyclical I imagine.
In America you can apply Christian principles to your work or job and be rewarded materially. Not so in many counties.It's not solely based on our free will. Maybe in America, yes. You don't appreciate how unique a nation you are and how absolutely blessed you are to live there though I understand your point.

Then God said, “Let us make life in our image, in our likeness, the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky the livestock and all the wild animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground.”
Good luck with that.the c-bible is not what jesus said - its very beginning is set by the liar and murderer moses ... is what needs first changing ...
what jesus did not say and what must be corrected as above for the desert religions to ever become valid representations of the true heavens for which they claim to speak.
"all the creatures that move along the ground" - humanity, no different than any other living beings.
Good luck with that.
By 'desert religions' do you mean Judaism and Islam?that is what jesus and those others in the 1st century gave their lives for -
than the corrupt self serving desert religions of today - and is why only bringing the crucifiers to justice and the correct rendering of a&e, the beginning will the heavens ever be realized again for whoever might seek remission to paradise as was the original goal.
