What happens when you interpret the Bible without Jesus?

Update: I no longer agree with the text now highlighted in yellow. For why, please see my Translator's Preface to The Christ Family Bible.

The New Testament gives a clear example: the Sadducees thought they correctly understood the Holy Scriptures to mean that there is no resurrection. But when they confront Jesus with their ideas, He rebukes them thoroughly: "You are misled, not knowing the Scriptures or the power of God" (Matthew 22:29, CFB).

How different are the Sadducees than the self-proclaimed "Christian" teachers who insist on their own interpretations of Bible texts, no matter how contradicted their interpretations are by the words of Christ and Christ's apostles (who wrote the New Testament)

Every Christian (and anyone interested to understand Christianity properly) ought to hear the entire New Testament.
