..,that the only way to determine anything about Jesus is to look at His words to the exclusion of anything else. Or to look at anything other than Jesus words (and only in the Gospels) as secondary and of lesser value.
Yet we have extensive writings by Peter, James and John who were arguably the three people closest to Jesus during His earthly ministry.
This raises some questions when we look at what those sources say about why Jesus came.
When they say things that “disagree” with the “SJ” interpretation of why Jesus came, are they wrong?
Did they just not pay attention?
Were they too stupid to figure out the right answer?
Did they not pay attention?
Were they just determined to make up their own gospel, despite spending 3 years in close proximity to Jesus?
Did they decide to ignore Jesus?
Again I’ll probably add more later.

"We're told... the only way... look at his words..."
Your policies are built upon idiotic presuppositions. One simple question: You're told that... By whom?
Almost certainly, you cannot cite an authoritative source of anybody that has said anything like that. Certainly it's not what I've said. I suspect what we have here is another case of you all reading somebody's words and not understanding the meaning. Much like you do with the Bible. And, as always, the question remains, if you can't understand my words coming from a contemporary in terms of culture and language, why do you presume to think that you understand the Bible's words correctly?
I think the problem, once again, is that you all conflate your hunches about what the rest of the Bible says with God's word or with what those authors actually said.
We don't disagree with the Bible. We disagree with YOUR collective hunches about the Bible, at least when they're idiotic or simply false or ridiculous.
I’ve never argued that the rest of scripture can only be interpreted through the lens of a biased interpretation of the “red letters” in the 4 gospels. Nonetheless, the questions as asked are still relevant.
You seem confused by those little squiggly things at the end of every sentence. Those are called “question marks” and they indicate that the words preceding are a question not a statement.
