Shlama Charles,
Are you trying hard not to say what you believe?
I say it's best to get it all out on the table, so we don't sit here trying to decipher your meaning. So, why not just spill all the beans already and get it over with?
Maybe you just like to write your thoughts out? That's fine, but, were does it lead? You seem to feel like you have found some deep truth, but you are afraid of saying exactly what you think you found.
I'm not too sure, yet, but If you don't believe that The Bible is reliable, and written by the Apostles and their helpers, then there are groups who will gladly welcome your criticism of it.
As for what is meant by the statement "But He spoke of the temple of His body"....
It simply means this....that Jesus was telling them that they would crucify Him (destroy His body), but, He would raise it from the dead three days later. The Messiah is the real Temple of God.
And this statement: "...while he showed from Scriptures regarding Jesus, that he was the Messiah"
It simply means that he was showing them where certain prophecies and statements in The Bible (the Old Testament portion) where they are speaking about Jesus, and which prove that He is the promised Messiah that was to come, and whom they were waiting for.
