I mean, that’s presumably all written in the Bible. More often than not, the question isn’t what he said but what he meant by it, and there’s certainly no shortage of opinions on that.
I agree that is one of the more common things to debate, probably more common than what he did say. But that’s also only true as long as you confine yourself to the Bible as it exists today. When you look into the history, archeological record, and textual criticism though, things get much more complicated as quite a few more groups wrote about what Jesus was purported to teach than the Catholic and Protestant churches would like you to believe.
Robert Price’s, “Pre-Nicene New Testament” is a good introduction to just how diverse and radically different early Christianity was. Bart Erhman is another great author who clearly cares more about what’s true, than what fits a churches dogma.
Not eating meat on Fridays is an invention of the church. Jesus never said that.
Conveniently enough church said beavers are fish so they had meat to eat while others suffer.
abstaining from the consumption of animal flesh isn’t suffering. Quite the opposite.
Spot the vegan.
Implying vegans should be invisible or hard to spot?
Implying any mention of meat you come crawling out of woodwork.
only when it seems to be getting promoted.
Half the fun of the Christianities is endlessly debating what Jesus did or did not say.
