So god wasn't that bothered that these people were getting his teachings wrong?
If so, why send jesus to sort it all out? Why not send gabriel to correct them as they made the mistake?
Unless of course, he didn't know they were getting it wrong...

But if the bible is known for being made up by people with good intentions, and you are using the bible as the basis that jesus was sent by god, then your basis is flawed, as in all likelyhood, jesus was just another man making things up with good intentions (I don't recall any roman writings actually acknowledging his miracles, even if they do acknowledge he existed).
After all, if god felt that the mistakes were big enough for jesus to have to come and correct them, and what a major correction his teachings were!, then why wait so long before the end of OT for him to arrive?
