Why do so many people believe that jesus is god?

by Legendary U.2.K. in

i still say that, christiaity is f--- up in these last days.. christianity teaches that the messiah is god, when the bible clearly points out that jesus is a prophet sent by god... jesus prayed to god<----that's the biggest proof... so i think if anybody believe that jesus is god, is not only an'-ti-christ(not accepting) but also a liar, foolish, and you knoweth nothing, and you are not close to god or christ, you are closer to that devil which we call satan....

You see God could not come himself so he came by way of his son Jesus to try to get us to understand him better.

This is one, if not the most popular, belief or idea regarding God/Jesus for sure.

I think of it in an entirely different way from having read through the scriptures so many times.

It would probably be the least popular opinion but ...like I care eh?

I believe we would have been wiped out completely by God and he would have maybe just started on some other project (trying to be "not so Heavy here") if not for Jesus.

I don't think it was Gods idea in the first place to keep us around and certainly not his idea to sacrifice his son so that we may have another opportunity to prove ourselves worthy on an individual bases.

If Jesus hadn't asked his father to spare us and put himself in the position that he did in order TO spare us then we would have been toast. Adam and Eve wouldnt have made it as long as they did.

I think God (The Father) just agreed and allowed it, BECASUE he loved his son more then he loved us.

Which is certainly OK with me. I would not expect it any other way.

If you have the time and realy feel like it that would be cool. I'd be interested in seeing the differences.

I have several Bibles however never thought I'd really NEED them so most are in storage.

Right now I have only three Bibles plus only 1 on-line Bible that I keep with-in reach.

Let me know if you do my e-mail is always (almost always) open

Plm, have you read the one about the 12 year old that was murdered by four other girls?

Lilacs No I didn't read that one. There are Soooo many. I scan through them and just randomly pick one. Is it an old story or a newer one? Lately I've been reading the old ones that date back to the eaarly 1900's and late 1800's.

I've only read about 5 or 6 that were from this time period (1980' 1990's)

I exceeded my limit so I need to stop for the night I'm borrowing an ID to post this.

hmmm... tastes like chicken.. .

am i chicken?

am i a frog?

puzzled

I am sweet, like Sugar.

I am all sweetness and light; fluffy bunnies and dancing fairies; happiness and joy. Too much of me will make you sick.

(If you were not Sugar you would be Vanilla.)

I am Vanilla Flavoured.

I am one of the most popular flavours in the world. Subtle and smooth, I go reasonably with anyone, and rarely do anything to offend. I can be expected to be blending in in society.

SPIDERMAN..SPIDERMAN..DOES WHAT EVER A SPIDER CAN

by plmkrzy in

ok even at my old age[8>] i still like the super hero action flicks.. the better ones anyway.

the first superman, the first batman and even some of the sequels to bat man were not bad.. how ever this week-end it seemed like everyone went to see spiderman all at once so i didn't go yet.. they just gave the stats on the news.. spiderman grossed over $$$114,000,000.00 so far and still counting.. did anyone go see it this week-end????.

and if so.

puzzled

I'm looking forward to the next Spiderman. I hear rumors already it's going to be better then this one. But then they always say that.

Speaking of next's If anyone still looks in here, has anyone seen

Star Wars yet?
I have been hearing it's a bust. Just wondering.
