Sausage you made my point for me.......the first sentence in your last paragraph sums it up for me...replace the word Skoptsy with that of any other religion.....and the same applies to each...at best mistaken and at worst hypocrites. Your point about nowhere in the bible supports such thinking applies to much of the hypocrisy I see from most if not all Christian sects....including even mainstream denominations like Catholicism (who do not even consider themselves as a denomiation but the one true church), Church of Scotland, Church of England, Baptists, Lutherans to name but a few. They all have beliefs customs and doctrine that bears no resemblance to what is stated in the Bible........ Now you say Jesus was perfect...how do you know?...you were not there and you only have some letters written many years after his death testifying that he was the son of God and therefore perfect....and to all the other things that supposedly happened I can only say the rules of hearsay and non admissable evidence applies ....how do you know they were telling the truth?...people have been known to exaggerate, tell lies and try to make things fit their own agenda........and how much of the Bible was lost in translation or misplaced completely.....as stated in earlier posts man is not perfect so for God to trust a few humans to write down his exact instructions and his wishes then translate it into many languages which is then cast down for all eternity and for people to quote chapter and verse...is pretty stupid.
