QUOTE if you consider the whole thing about jesus being born poor, being born not as a king but as a regular human being, it fits quite well. One of the main reasons God wanted Jesus to be born in human form was that he is dying for our sins. Also, God wanted someone to be in human form so Jesus can fully understand the needs and the suffering of human kind. Jesus is perfect and so humble like gerundio said that God sacrafice his one and only son. The only way for our sins to be saved was through the blood of an innocent and PURE life, Jesus Christ. I believe no one would juss gladly give up their life for everyone in the world. If he knew he was not God, but a man, like you said he was, than he would have step down and just said it was just one big fat joke. I don't think anyone would go through the torture he had to endure just to become a Legend or story. |

As for force feeding you, I'm sorry you feel that way but "force feeding" is not what Christians are doing. We are simply living the life for Jesus Christ and trying to share his gospel and truth to everyone else. |

Nietzsche's ideas on 'faith'.
QUOTE Faith makes blessed: therefore it is true." — It might be objected right here that blessedness is not demonstrated, it is merely promised: it hangs upon "faith" as a condition — one shall be blessed because one believes .... But what of the thing that the priest promises to the believer, the wholly transcendental "beyond" — how is that to be demonstrated? — The "proof by power," thus assumed, is actually no more at bottom than a belief that the effects which faith promises will not fail to appear. In a formula: "I believe that faith makes for blessedness — therefore, it is true." ... But this is as far as we may go. This "therefore" would be absurdum itself as a criterion of truth.

God and Jesus are the same person...Jesus is merely God in the flesh, he couldn't come down as himself because he is too bright to see so therefore he sent Jesus which is in fact himself. |

Haha. Nice answer. But God didn't 'do' Mary. He just simply planted a seed within her with no sexual connection. She didn't even know until an angel came to her in a dream. Think of the Trinity more of a set of offices. God is the Father. He is the one who created the world. And such. Jesus is the one we pray to and the one who died for our sins, and such. The Holy Spirit is the one who was put in place after Jesus died on the cross to watch over us. Basically like a guardian angel. I love your last answer though. Your Trinity is awesome. Hhahaha God and Jesus are the same person...Jesus is merely God in the flesh, he couldn't come down as himself because he is too bright to see so therefore he sent Jesus which is in fact himself. What?! Haha. Why do you say God is too bright? What makes Him bright? I don't understand. Where in the Bible does it say that God is bright? |

My old pastor explained it to me a long time ago, he's been studying the Bible for 40+ years and that's what he said. Jesus is the son of God but in reality Jesus is in fact God, they are no different, read chapter John, Jesus was merely God in the flesh who died on the cross for our sins...God couldn't come down himself because he would be too bright for us to see...my pastor said imagine God like the sun? The sun is too bright to really look at, that is God. I can't remember how the rest went but that's exactly what he said... |

Just putting out a personal atheist pov, I happen to think that Jesus is just another prophet who said he was son of whoever to make people listen. Born from a virgin? Yeah okay.

That's what the Jehovahs believe in. They believe Jesus was merely a prophet and didn't die on the cross, they do believe in an angel or something called Michael. Yes, born from a Virgin, if God is all powerful he'd have the power to do that, it's kinda like magic ![]() Everything in this world cannot be explained by science. Yep, and just because science hasn't been able to explain it doesn't mean it does not exist =] |
