[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you find so hard to believe about Jesus being God?[/quote]

Think of it this way. What do you find so hard about Noah being God? What do you find so hard about David Koresh being God? What do you find so hard about Krishna being God? What do you find so hard about Osiris being God? What do you find so hard about Gaia being God?

We're raised to believe that certain things are "true" and others are impossible. But when you really think about it, all of the above are just as plausible (or implausible) as Jesus being God. [/quote]
OP has already embraced the idea of a personal creator God who made man in His image (and not evolved). OP accepts Christ as a great teacher. OP accepts a lot of Biblical morality and already has a conservative view of sin. What OP describes is pretty close to traditional Christianity. Yet OP stops short of accepting Christ as God, as the Bible teaches. I'm just really curious why OP finds that additional step too far to go.

Regarding Noah: Noah never claimed to be God, and Noah wasn't perfect. David Koresh? Dead, so not God. [b]Krishna, Osiris, Gaia? Please.[/b] The Bible recounts man as made in the image of God, and Christ as God coming to earth to live among His creation in sympathy and identification with man, and dying for man's sins (because man rejected God) because God loves His creation. These aren't hard concepts to grasp, and [b]a God that creates man in His image and comes to live among His creation makes a lot more sense[/b] than anything else you mentioned.[/quote]

Krishna and Osiris are also human forms in God's image that came to live on earth. Why can't you understand that?

Neither Krishna nor Osiris come from monotheistic beliefs. They certainly are not taught as a loving creator God in the flesh come to sacrifice for sinful man. One is purple (or blue). The other is green. Your sophistry is specious, and I don't think you actually believe in either one.[/quote]

Oh, so God doesn't come in blue, purple, black, brown, yellow, etc., right? Only white, according to you. You can look at the scriptures and literature written thousands of years ago in the context of today and throw them out so easily, right? And you think you make a lot of sense.

There are no purple or green humans. [/quote]

Clueless. Go on living in your small, literal world.
