I take it that you did not get my point. Without Jesus' death there would be no Christianity. Besides, I don't see Jesus as a divine being. Not before. Not after his death. Christians have made Jesus out to be their savior. Christianity is man's perception of God.
Poor example, Storm: "Really? Do you understand why Jews are "so sensitive" about being called and thought of as Christ killers?"
If it weren't for Jesus' death, you would not have a Christology, Christianity.
You have fairly surmised that quotes on Tillich cannot be clarified without further reading. What I gave you was what you would find offensive with Tillich. I believe that I even said you would reject his theology. Everything else you have surmised just means that you have made statements...

“In this respect fundamentalism has demonic traits. It destroys the humble honesty of the search for truth, it splits the conscience of its thoughtful adherents, and it makes them fanatical because they are forced to suppress elements of truth...
The only way you will offend me is if you deny, make up or, falsify sound biblical teaching. I am trying to ask you to identify terms that you have used. You may fully understand those terms, in your own way, but if I am too hold a sincere discussion regarding biblical texts we must understand...

I spent many, many years trying to disprove religion and faith. Frankly, most religions are build upon the interpretations and logic of men, who do, by nature, fall short of the glory of God, thus their doctrines are susceptible to being flawed as well. So religions are easy to disprove, and...
My point regarding you and Tillich is that you would dismiss his greatness and theology. Be my guest, look into his life and theology.
As for the science, you stated that no science to date says that something comes out of nothing. I simply showed you the science that does. Accept that science...
"In Rom 12:13,14, the Christian community strives to overcome evil with good. Where, the common pursuit, is “to be a sacrifice offered to God.” Paul speaks, literally of the mercies (plural, “your bodies”)of God. “To offer ourselves” as “living sacrifices,” not as an animal sacrifice but as...
This posting is so far off base given the thread is about homosexuality and not beastiality. Given that Leviticus speaks of both an abomination that still does not mean that you can assert that acceptance of beastiality is next to follow a trend of what is natural. To understand what Leviticus...
