[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At mass this year (attending to keep my family happy) I heard a homily story that I was told was popular about how God sent his son so that he could speak our language.  Something about how animals needed another animal of their kind to understand and follow to do things and that's why Jesus came to us as a baby human.

There are so many thinking flaws with this story and to me they point out one of the reasons why Christianity is flawed. First,  people and animals do not always respond to their own kind. In revelation the depiction is much more convincing that a God is present.  Not very convincing with a baby. The wisemen and star are convincing but these are not historically accurate or verified. It makes much more sense that people used this story to convince others to be more child-like and convince others that a normal human was God and much less sense that Jesus as a baby had anything to do with humans following him as the Messiah. Second, the jews didnt listen to Jesus for the most part. So even though he came as a human it didnt work for God's chosen people. So God needed to go from being the wind and however else hes mentioned in the old testament to being a human and then he tried his best but the Jews were too stubborn so he turned his attention to others? I'm not following this illogical thinking. It doesnt make sense that God would abandon his people or that God would turn his attention to another group or that God would need a new way of communicating. So God lost his ability to talk to his people like in Exodus but tried with Jesus and failed? Mission failure?

I'd love to hear fron others. Do others have the same confusion from the old testament to the new testament?

This is what made you wonder? And not any part of any of the story - God's son, the resurrection, the bible stories,  etc., ?  I mean- it's  all fantasy. It's  just turned  into culture like all  religions. [/quote]
