Jesus died... He was killed on a cross... Jesus popped UP out of the grave as a cork might rise up in a pool of water!
You cannot possibly believe this. It is God who brought Jesus out of death to life, avenging him.

Jesus died... He was killed on a cross... Jesus popped UP out of the grave as a cork might rise up in a pool of water!
The bible says Jesus was God's envoy. Jesus was Jewish and prayed to the Jewish God. So did, and do, all Jewish believers.instead of looking at jesus' death as a complete and total asking price for sin how bout we look at Jesus as the keeper of eternal life?
haha the son is important.The bible says Jesus was God's envoy. Jesus was Jewish and prayed to the Jewish God. So did, and do, all Jewish believers.
Why do you need to pray to Jesus as intermediary when the Jews can pray directly to the same God?
so Christians like to say, but why? Antisemitism aside, what do Christians have that Jewish believers lack?haha the son is important.
Jewish people do their thang christians do theres. if u dont know the importance of the son by now youll never know.so Christians like to say, but why? Antisemitism aside, what do Christians have that Jewish believers lack?
There is no price for God's Love else it wouldn't be love. Jesus never taught that rejecting his original Gospel message was to pay a fictitious sin debt. The atonement doctrine came later after Jesus left. Jesus chose to lay down his life to share the death experience with us. He never attached forgiveness to his tragic rejection. We now have a God who has experienced the full range of being human with us.instead of looking at jesus' death as a complete and total asking price for sin how bout we look at Jesus as the keeper of eternal life?
There is indeed a great deal I don't understand about Jesus.Jewish people do their thang christians do theres. if u dont know the importance of the son by now youll never know.
like i said youll never knowThere is indeed a great deal I don't understand about Jesus.
Perhaps the main thing is why he was necessary at all, and what he accomplished that an omnipotent God couldn't have accomplished with one snap of [his] fingers.
Doesn't it appear to be both obscene and absurd to sacrifice [your] own son/envoy to yourself before you're prepared to do what you've been able to do at any time without effort all along?
False, the Gospels are consistent. One cannot interpret them any they please. Scripture interprets scripture and clarify their intended meaning.How about the writers of the Gospels thought of that ahead of time?
But that's OK, because the four Gospels are inconsistent, and believers can interpret the texts any way they damn well please.
False, the four Gospels are quite different and inconsistent. blü 2 is quite well educated on the Gosels and their inconsistency, so perhaps he will explain what these are to you.False, the Gospels are consistent.
Yet people come up with all sorts of different interpretations, so clearly you are wrong.One cannot interpret them any they please. Scripture interprets scripture and clarify their intended meaning.
So far I haven't met any Christians who know either ...like i said youll never know

But until then, here is a link that shows some of them

The synoptics ─ Mark, Matthew, Luke ─ are consistent in that Matthew and Luke use Mark as their template. But then they vary, add to, omit, and use materials of their own or from elsewhere. There are three incompatible models of Jesus, for example ─ the Jesus of Paul and the Jesus of John have a gnostic flavor, each having dwelt in heaven with God and each having created the material universe (regardless of Genesis); then we have the Jesus of Mark, who's an ordinary Jew until JtB baptizes him and God adopts him as [his] son in the same way God adopts David as his son in Psalm 2:7; and thirdly we have Jesus as the genetic son of God, born of a virgin with God's Y-chromosome.False, the Gospels are consistent.

Or again, the Jesus of Paul and the Jesus of John are descended from David, though we're not told how and the parents are unnamed; the Jesus of Matthew and the Jesus of Luke are not descended from David, alongside the claim that they are because Joseph, expressly not Jesus' father, is descended from David (by two not-credible and conflicting genealogies); and the Jesus of Mark is out loud and proud not descended from David at all.
And that's just the lowest-hanging fruit.
I believe it is both. I believe that Jesus sacrificed Himself for the sins and inequities of mankind but I believe He also conveyed eternal life.instead of looking at jesus' death as a complete and total asking price for sin how bout we look at Jesus as the keeper of eternal life?
Okay. You are a man human.I believe it is both. I believe that Jesus sacrificed Himself for the sins and inequities of mankind but I believe He also conveyed eternal life.
