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?

Back to the original realization that the Jewish God and Christian God aren't the same God, I believe these historical connections and the lack of continuity from one supposed religion to the next proves that these religions are just made up by humans relative to cultural shifts.
I was taught in Catechism that there was one God and that Jews believed in God but didn't believe that Jesus was the son of God.
Just because you were "taught" something doesnt make it true or accurate.
Sure. Many people were taught the same thing. Not true. Not accurate. But taught it.

Not in the great scheme of things Jewish. No jew even wrote about Jesus except maybe one one time. Christianity took off when it became part of the Roman religion. Either way, it's obvious that God wasnt convincing to the Jews enough to make it worthwhile to their lives and future lives. It was a bust for the people it was intended for.
Correct - any Jewish influence that Jesus had to have been quite limited and short-lived.

Quote from your book of fairy tales all you want, but it doesn't change the underlying facts as presented throughout other posts in this thread.
Are you citing a passage from this book in the hopes that it will be like a spell from Harry Potter and will magically make other readers suddenly grasp your meaning?
I say, "Expecto Patronum!" and away with your soul sucking brain-dead beliefs.
For the other Christians here, this is an example of the harms of your beliefs. This imbecile has the same vote power that you do. This is how the idiot-in-chief hoodwinked these morons into thinking he represented their Christian values, despite his clear misogyny, racism, and xenophobia.
Stop pretending that your version of a fictional story is better or harmless.
Liberal Christians, who do not revere God’s word in the Bible, might listen to you because they are not of Jesus’s sheepfold. A liberal Christian aligns more with Buddhism than Jesus, for they believe good works and compassion is what gets you into heaven. They refuse to believe LGBTQ is sin despite, like adultery, being clearly declared as such.
The liberal Christian will say for over 2,000 years we have interpreted the Bible wrong, that LGBTQ “scholars” have discovered the real truth. Failing to convince the elect with that nonsense, scripture will be omitted or twisted into a pretzel to make the Bible not condemn their sins, which Jesus says you must repent of then “Go, and sin no more.”
It is not xenophobia to have immigration laws and a border patrol to keep hordes of lawless people from infiltrating our nation, which is the only way to conquer America. Our military is too strong for anyone to invade conventionally.
A large number of Blacks and women voted for Trump, not believing the same stupid drivel screamed by Democrats.
So, you voted for Trump knowing that he did not represent Christian values?
I was surprised Trump ran as a Republican because his morality (or rather immorality) was that typical of Democrats.
Had Kamala Harris been the Republican candidate, I would have voted for her, as I did Winsome Sears.
For the last time: it is not the person, it is the party.
Sure sounds like the pp regrets feeling the need to vote for Trump because he supported the anti-gay movement. You know, though, that Trump is an atheist and a democrat at heart, right? He only changed his views publicly because he thought it was the only way to get votes from Christians. He was right.

I just watched a version of Sense and Sensibilities by Jane Austin where there was an evil character just like pp above. I thought - what a good actor that guy is!

Yup. Those dementors already got to you. No signs of activity in the cavity between your ears. You are completely delusional if you think the Bible is an accurate, historical record.
You are nasty. How did you get so rotten inside?
Stating facts is nasty? Anyone defending the Bible as an accurate, historical record needs to have their head examined ... for signs of any brain activity. Or, they should be locked up for being delusional and potentially deranged. God only knows what such people may do 😈

Actually, you literally voted for the person. You can make all the excuses you want, but you voted for this man - who is less representative of Christianity than perhaps any other presidential candidate in history. You voted for misogyny, racism, internment camps, explicit violations of the constitution, greed, adultery, felonious behavior, lies, narcissism, and countless other terrible things. I hope you sleep well at night.
