Christianity aside, I personally believe that if God, Tao, Allah, whatever intelligent creator brought about this reality existed he had to be perfect, all-powerfull, and all-knowing in order to do so. I admit, I don't understand his ways, but if I'm assuming He is truly all-powerful, all-knowing, perfect and good, then one would assume that is my own perspective of the situation that is wrong.
And simply put, Jesus proclaimed that he is "I Am" and that "I and the Father are One". That's why one would attribute Jesus to being human and God. He also prophezied His own death and resurrection, and if one were to assume that Jesus wasn't a liar, one would have to believe what he said about resurrecting.
Being a spiritual person I don't know that god/s are male. I have no reason to think god has a gender.
You are not a Christian by biblical standards, props. I will not associate myself with a bunch of murderers, Ain't gonna happen. My moral compass tells me to defy your religion. I think it's a dishonor to Jesus if he existed.
The story was probably embellished to turn a human, Jesus, into a god. Start a new religion and start controlling the masses with it, while either being rich with infamy or money or both.
Greed is the problem, not god/s. It is human greed and nothing else. I feel very strongly about this. It's intense. KNOW YOUR ENEMY, Rage Against the Machine. My enemy is greed not gods or no gods.
I can't catch up. I read 3 pages of 3-4 guys talking to each other. This thread is hi-jacked. I give up.
