    Christian: Some passages about Jesus being God

    I'm sure I could be a Buddhist if I came from a culture where that made sense to me or follow Sufi Islam if I was raised in a culture where that made sense to me. They have the same basic message as Christ and I know some people that follow each of them that live more like Christ than 90% of...

    Christian: Some passages about Jesus being God

    IMO, the part of the Bible that defines Christian beliefs begins at Matthew and ends at John. Before Matthew we are looking at Jewish history that can be used as background for analyses of Christs teachings, yet it is not Christ's teaching. After John we are looking at the history of the early...

    Christian: Some passages about Jesus being God

    scott1 - A point to being crucified? I guess a graphic reminder of the fact that we kill just about everything we can find is point enough for me. Doesn't matter whether a person is presenting us with a wonderful spiritual way of living or is attacking us, we'll find an excuse to kill 'im...

    Jesus said with faith a disciple could move a mountain. I'd just make damn sure you have a dramatic obverabundance of faith before you try it or else you will leave millions of particles floating off between the 7-11 and home.

    Jesus and the Fig Tree

    This story is completely in character for Jesus. It was just another manifestation of Jesus' extreme impatience to people (and things apparantly) who were not fulfilling their roles in life. Was this an innocent fig tree? Yes it was. But then, were not most of the Pharisees arguing about...

    Hostility towards Christianity

    Your friend said it all "out of my face!" If one is living a truly Christian life... living as Jesus taught... the result would be that people would be drawn to ask "What drives you to be this way? I want to try that!" Evangelism is the opposite. It is a promise of some future happiness...

    where is the real church of God?

    >>I am having a hard time finding anyone else who has a problem with finding a church. << Sounds very familiar. Both my wife (heavy Budhhist training) and I (atheist for years) had to search high and low for a Christian church that saw other religions as equally valid divine revelations to...
