God is living too. the Bible (nor Jesus) ever say he is the only way to see god. A fanciful bit of wordplay, but it goes nowhere because it's just a made up idea.
Well, first, I did not use the words "ONLY"... I did say that IF you see Christ, then you see God. Nothing else is required. If you need a 'testing' point, well, Christ is the image of God, so test against Christ. God is love; so test also against love. But all the rest of things that people 'test' against... there is no basis for it.
Christ may HAVE been the visible image of the invisible God, but he, now, is also invisible. May as well look to God also. And he asked for a lot of murder.
Not sure why it is so hard for people to consider that men asked for a lot of murder, in the name of God. Or rather... war.
Yes, he did.
No, he did not... X infinity.
At least we finally arrive that the 100% truth of the matter. You couldn't give less of a shit what the Bible says, it's all about what you want to preach.
Interesting deduction... since the bible states BOTH things. How do you know which is true, when there are two conflicting things being said? Personally, I don't care what else is said... I just look to Christ. But if you want to know which of two conflicting things is true, then again, look at Christ. His life, his teachings, his example.
Has nothing to do with me or what I want.
Well, sorry, you knowing what's in your head don't count for shit.
Nothing i stated to you above had anything to do with this.
You ONLY EVER have known anything about Jehovah and Jesus because of the Bible. That book, the one you ride like a cheap whore when it feels good and then ditch like a cheap whore you don't like what it's saying is the only thing you have to back up anything you say without going "voices in my head".
But I never went 'voices in my head.'
I said, simply, if there is a contradictin in the bible... and you want to know which is truth... then look at THE TRUTH: Christ.
You can't outrun the stink of the Bible that covers everything you want to say about Jesus. It says god wants murder. Wants baby pensis. Wants abortion. Wants slavery. Wants genocide. Wants throats slit for him.
I don't need to outrun anything. The bible is not the Word, Image or Truth of God. God did not state... look to the bible to know the truth. He said... look at my Son.
The only way any Jew knew about the god Jesus talked about was from those scriptures. Jesus endorsed them. The BS about lying scribes might work on some, but not here. The stink of the Bible that you use and abuse is all over everything Jesus ever said and everything you say about him.
I'm not too concerned about what works on 'some' and what doesn't work 'here'. The verse is there. If you don't want to see it, then that has nothing to do with the fact that it is there. The reality is also that people can and have altered or slanted verses according to their (mis)understanding (in context OR in translation); or according to their agendas, is also there. It is a fact. Just have to look at the NWT to see how the 'scribes' can alter things. Fact. Not wishful thinking.
The bible is not my image for God. I think it is yours though... because you still look at IT to see God, instead of just looking at His Image.
If there is one thing God, and his son, since we see god though the son, loved the ever loving shit out of, it was killing the hell out of every single last motherfarker in the room that looked at him sideways.
Hmm. If we see God through His Son... then do tell how many people Christ killed the hell out of who looked at him sideways?
Curious.
Peace,
