Introduction
There are many big questions here. It will not be possible to give a full answer to all of them in a single answer. But I can provide at least a general answer to most of them.
Why did Christ die?
Christ's death did not "pay for our sins" (something the Bible never says), nor was it ...
I have an interest in the New Testament simply to understand Christianity. I would therefore like to read it, but not at all in an idolatrous way (assuming reading it itself wouldn’t be idolatrous). Would it be permitted to read it as a purely scholarly/academic activity?
