Re: Sounds a bit like the same thing

But more likely is that if there is a GOD, then all the Gods we have created like Jesus or the Christian God or the Jewish God or Allah or Krishna or Ganesh are all wrong.

Its lines like these that make people question your Christianity.

You say you truly are a Christian, but that we created Jesus and thut that creation is most likely wrong in its description.

It just seems like you're contradicting yourself.

Re: The Jesus of the Bible ain't the real Jesus

To hold that the Jesus of the Bible is the sum total of the man is ridiculous.

Did I say that? Or are you just sayin'?

Cause I don't know anyone who thinks that.

The Bible records only SOME of what Jesus said. Were the rest of his words just completely worthless? Did he not say ANYTHING to any of the other apostles?

No and no. I think that's obvious. Why do you feel the need to point that out?

But, if Jesus was divine and inerrant, then EVERY SINGLE THING he ever said was important.

Consider the hypothetical situation:

Peter: "Hey Jesus, how's it going?
Jesus: "I'm well, how about you?"
Peter: "I'm well too."
Jesus: "Cool."

You'd consider that important? More or less improtant that him taking a shit?

Where is the 99.99% of the things he did and said?

Lost in history.

Re: The Jesus of the Bible ain't the real Jesus

You feel you are in a position to determine whether or not something which God said is worth listening to?

For me, sure.

The foundation of YEC is that this one sentence that Jesus said was written down correctly and outweighs the 99.99% of the rest of the stuff he said.

Fuck YEC

What's your point?
