Jesus (Yeshua the Nazarene) is the Abrahamic god made manifest onto earth, not the actual child/son of said god . . . rather the physical aspect of the Trinity.
**LOL . . . why does a satanic/luciferian non-religious heathen like me have to explain this to a christian??

You could start a new thread in the Christian DIR.Aye it's intended for Christians. I should have placed it in the Christian DIR, cause I want to interact.
Mods?! :shout
Islam is all about creating and maintaining a deep intimate relationship more than you know and expect. Why would you need "a father who gives his own son" when you have a God who bestowed upon you all this universe and blessings? When you have a God that is closer to you than your jugular vein? When you have a God Who responds to you without a mediator?Perhaps this is a flawed Western concept, which it probably is, but I feel that Islam makes one more detached from God than Christianity. I feel that one has a more personal and intimate relationship with God than in Islam, and that is why I choose to follow it. The God of Christianity gave his own Son to die for us, and I believe this further shows his close relationship with humankind.
Oi, this is not relevant to the topic. Your little argument is great and everything, but it does not belong here. Go start up some new thread and go debating your other points there.I am WELL aware of that. History is full of Christians/Catholics/Puritans killing people in the name of God.
What this video is saying though, is that Muslims pose a bigger threat than Christians do today.
I doubt you already watched that video in it's entirety.:sarcastic

God doesn't need a son, or to sacrifice his son to show his close relationship with us. God is very close but some people just don't see it and need to indulge in illogical beliefs that doesn't befit a God who is Merciful, Wise, Just, Near, Powerful, All-Knowing and nothing like Him. Unfortunately, it seems some think that to feel God is close is to add our own deficiencies on our view of God. We need sons because we are mortal, so we extend by our offspring. But why God would need a son and He is the Eternal, to start with? Not to mention to "sacrifice his son"?!
Strange thinking!

Here is the thing; why not for everyone to be responsible and accountable for him/herself? Doesn't the human being have the capabilities and potential e.g. intellect to reach God? To be good?First of all, we need no mediator between us and God. Some Christians may believe that, but I do not. And Jesus is God's spiritual son, and is said to also be God at the same time. In this way, God's physical representation of Himself on earth can be see as being his "Son", as his physical being would have to have been created by God. It is not actually His son as we see it, and it is not merely humankind applying their flawed logic to God.
The world was full of evil and sin. It was progressively getting worse from the beginning of humanity. And so it was getting harder and harder for people to enter the kingdom of heaven, and the world needed a saviour. God could not stand seeing our sin, and His eternal love for us made Him make the ultimate sacrifice. God had to sacrifice his Son, or rather sacrifice Himself in order that the ultimate sacrifice could be given, and the entirety of the world's sins could be taken away.

Obviously I was responding to another comment from someone else. Plus, this is not a DIR it is in Religious Debates, which is fairly general. So, if you don't want to hear something smart from an atheist, go cry and make your own thread. Thank you.:slap:Oi, this is not relevant to the topic.

Perhaps because they have met Baha'is and/or experienced the Baha'i community inaction Bruce?
Not in any Baha'i community I've ever experienced!
I said no such thing and would appreciate your not putting words in my mouth1
But that said, I've been Baha'i long enough and experienced enough Baha'i communities to know what they tend to be like, which does not fit the description you used!
So just perhaps, it's YOUR experiences that are grossly atypical.
