I did not say he was I think it was the latter part of that scripture that applied but I did not want to cut off the first part. I hope you understand.

Storyteller,

Look at dfnj' posts here, and his posts elsewhere. He denies Jesus is God.

Jesus is certainly God now. During Jesus's time here on earth he was a very wise Jewish rabbi and prophet.

Let me ask you a question. There are 1.6 billion Muslims. There are about a billion Hindus. There millions of other practicing many other types of religions than Christianity:

http://www.religioustolerance.org/worldrel.htm

Are all these people practicing all these religions going to be "saved" and allowed to enter the gates of heaven to experience eternally heavenly bliss? Or are they all condemned to go to Hell?

Before you label me I will tell you my answer is absolutely "yes". So my faith in God is very much different than yours if you say "no". I believe God uses his omnipotent powers of unconditional forgiveness so each of us gets to experience heavenly eternal bliss regardless of which religion we practice. In God's eyes we are all sacred.

So,

You deny Christ. You believe in a false Christ. The bible says that God became a man, in the person of Jesus Christ.

Your false Christ says a man, Jesus the "Jewish rabbi and prophet", became God.

I'm not denying Christ. I embrace the teachings of Jesus:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Love your enemy is probably the greatest sentiment ever expressed by a prophet. I just find it so interesting that people who are so devout to Jesus persecute and hate everyone else who does not practice religion exactly the way they do. Even within denominations of Christianity!

Jesus says "for they shall see God." Jesus does not say "for they shall see me." I think if we do not have some humility with regards to our fandom of Jesus we are missing the core point of all his teachings. I guess I'm just old fashion in my beliefs.

dfnj...

Christ was God in human form, to show us, to prove His love. Christ and God are the same.

Christ is God. He is our salvation. Only through Him, unless we dont know Him, can we truly relate to God.

Trust me, I know, I'm a woman ;)

You argument is fallacious. Yes, the bible says that god became a man, in the person of Jesus Christ. It does not follow that I therefore believe in a false Christ. I believe just as in Jesus Christ, we are all divine through the power of God's love and forgiveness. God is God. Every other word is a false idol. I'm sorry if my faith in God offends you but God always comes first.
