Jesus is not God
GDR,
Have you ever considered what Jesus's message is if he is not God.
I know you think he is.
I do not
Let's say the stories about him are true. Now I can see how some people would say "He must be God" because some things he did violate natural laws.
As far as I know Jesus never said he was God............why on earth would he pray to himself.
So let's consider he is a person just like you or me..............and the stories are true. That means he figured out something about this universe you and I don't know about. But it means we have a chance to figure it out, because he is not God he is just like us.
So you think Jesus died for your sins............no one can do that without my permission, even God.
I think your understanding of Jesus is way off course............you distance yourself from him by calling him God, so that means you are not like him, since we all know you are not God.
If Jesus was selling something.............he would have written a book......he didn't do that.
He knew the answer was for you to...............LOOK! And figure it out.

Re: Jesus is not God
Hello GDR
The reason Jesus did not write a book..........is because he understood it would be read by people like you. Who had no clue.
Just a question..........So do you think that in reading your posts for well over 6 years.....I don't know anything about you? You have posted here 4055 times, I have posted here 309 times................who do you think has the better data base
I can explain your Christian beliefs better than you can.
BTW, do not answer any of the points I brought up in my first post to you......I understand it creates mental conflicts..........and as a believer in Jesus as God you don't need that.

Re: Jesus is not God
Hello Jar,
You have my respect because you are a biker and a shooter.
Do you want to know what most people think Christianity is, or do you want to know what I think Jesus was telling us.
These are two very different things.

Re: Jesus is not God
If I was God and I had something important to tell you, I would write it down.
That is of course unless I knew writing it down wouldn't help you figure it out.
Which it won't. That is the reason Jesus and Buddha didn't write it down.
Everyone else who was selling something did, you have a whole book of it.
Who are you and what are you doing here?
It appears to me both Jesus and Buddha figured this out. What is it about the universe we live in that they know about that you do not.
When you have it figured out you should be able to cure the sick and walk on water, until then you don't know shit.

Re: Jesus is not God
Hi Jar,
I am sure you understand, that if Jesus is God, everything he did including coming back from being dead is no big deal. If I was God I could do this stuff as well.
What is the message of Christianity, not what the churches say. If Jesus was a man like you or me, he has showed us that we can rise above the physical universe we are trapped in.
Is the story of Adam and Eve true? It is if you understand it is about YOU. Can you remember leaving God and coming into this universe? Why you did that. You can remember if you do as Jesus told you, become as a little child.
What the hell does that mean? It means you have to remember things like you did as a child. When you were 2 years did you remember things using language or did you remember things like they were a movie. You can still do that. It means your entire past is open to you if you are willing to look. It's like watching a movie of all that happened to you. BTW, this is not easy, it takes a lot of work.
It took me from 1968 to 1987 to remember being born, the next year to remember my last death ( Rennes France 1943), a few years after that to remember leaving God. It's worth the trip.
Jesus remembered being with God, in I think Luke 17.5.........it's where he talks about being with God, Before(BEFORE) the world was. Just like you and me he left God and found himself here, in this universe.
Buddha never would have said the world was an illusion.......unless he remembered what he did when he left God. What was that? You can remember it yourself, so go look. My telling you won't help you find it.
I think most people could find the answer if they just looked, but they don't.
Jesus had a lot figured out, more than me, it doesn't surprise me he has people counting years after his birth.
BTW I don't sell salvation and as far as I'm concerned no religion around here knows crap about what you are doing here. It's why my religion has a founder and one follower, and they are both me.
