Did somebody say Indian food?
"but you're not quoting jesus. you're quoting the ruling political and religious elite who told you what he supposedly said by writing it into the bible."
That's where you're wrong, kiddo. The manuscript evidence is consistent. And it predates any time when there were any religious or political elites in Christianity. Open the NT and you have a reliable record of the teaching of Jesus.
It's just that "the elites changed the Bible" is such an uninformed, juvenile position.
