Re: The Gospel\; An abomination
My guess? The bible, seeing as that is the ONLY source of information regarding jeesus.

Re: The Gospel\; An abomination
So then, if we proceed with he rest of the story, he ends up being a Savior of the world, correct? How does that equate to a failure?
Says who? Who says he's a savior? That's just the pedestal you put him on. He hasn't "saved" shit. he was a peace loving hippy, nothing more.

Re: The Gospel\; An abomination
His success came from not falling below Gods standard of perfection. He maintained his integrity to God under the most extreme circumstances. He also showed that his fight was not with the people, but with Satan the devil. The night before his death he said at John 14:30
I thought you've said he was god incarnate, god in the flesh? So yea....he didn't disobey himself?
Or is he his son, not actually god, but just his seed? So he didn't defy his father. Great! Did your dad put you on a pedestal and punish your friends when you had them over because you knew exactly what he wanted? (he is YOUR father and all)
Or is jesus just a guy, chosen by god?
Hopefully I don't need to point out all of the posts where you guys claim the trinity and whatnot (there are far too many).

Re: The Gospel\; An abomination
No,
i've never said that and dont believe that. Jaywill and others belive that he was God but I believe he was the Son of God. He was the very first spirit that God created and they dwelled together as a 'father and son'
Do you also not believe in the virgin birth story, either?

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
