I would not consider it artificial at all. Creation was not 'artificial', without it there would be no 'nature' to compare to 'artifice' would there?

There are those who are not blind and they see, then there are those who were blind and now can see, then there are those who can see but can't preceiveand then there are those who are blind and will see. Everyone fits in there somewhere. So it is written every eye will see; Rev 1:7

Also; For it is written; Ro 14:11 every knee shall bow to me(word made flesh/Hamashiach) and every tongue will confess to (Hashem/God). Y H V H

How Great Thou Art!!!!!!

Default Jesus is God

Good Morning
The Jesus figure has been the center stage of debate for a long time, and still remains so in the hear and now. In my view from a Catholic stand point Jesus was one of the Great Avatars of the ancient world. He was a path a way for those to take the steps up to God himself.
I do not feel that Jesus was God but a way to the truelight we have in all of us, if we choose? I feel that Jesus was a flesh and blood individual and which yet could be described in a metaphoric sense of the word. A fantastic tool to aid us in these troubling times today.

Jesus! I am the way and the light!!!

With Blessings

You are the first catholic that I have heard to speak like this. The majority of catholics strongly believe he is God.....

You'd rather trip over the furniture? Although it might be fun to watch...I love slapstick.

The above is not, of course by definition, Catholic belief. The above statement renders the speaker visibly outside of the Catholic Faith.

We seem to be forgetting that we are ALL extensions of God, or the Father, and can claim as much Divinity as Jesus himself. Remember that Jesus told his followers that we are to be one with him as he was one with the Father. He also says that we, or the followers of the teachings of Jesus, will do even greater things than he. "Be still, and know that I AM God."
