><>...Evening Christine...><>
You said: In the search I did about Jesus' race, I found several books at Amazon.com, written by Christian theologians, debating whether Jesus actually existed, or was a legend, for example.
Christian theologians Christine, debating the very existence of Christ? Now that's funny...That statement is a contradiction on it's face!..But only a true Christian would understand the total absurdity of that statement. You aso noted: Obviously his teachings of love and tolerance have survived, and that is good, but he does not have to have existed in reality to have accomplished that.
His teachings Christine? He does not have to existed Christine? Have it your way Christine.
Christine please forgive me for being so forward, but if you were sincerely interested in searching out anything about Jesus the Christ, you would go to the source.
Sorry you feel this way: I will give you two url's to look at, but I can tell from your recent posts that your mind is closed..
Forgive me for not attaching more value to your URL's.
Christine, you don't even believe that Christ ever existed so why go on!(it is good to know though that at least you believe that his teachings existed, and remain unto this day) And thank you for the common knowledge lesson....Nothing Christine, could ever change my love and or worship of my Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ! Nothing!
In any case CGB to continue this post any longer would be a criminal waste of time.
And another thing Christine that url which you gave me some time back did in fact have some very unsavory, useless, and to a great extent,much abominable info. on it, and you had to have known it. Now if I had known that the info.on the url that you gave me was laced with such trash, and was not a part of that which you wanted me to read,then I would not have gone there. But for the sake of being fair to you and reading all that you pointed me to, I did so.
In conclusion,( Thank God... finally, well almost) if you did not intend for me to go there, you should have told me it was not part of your argument, and there was no need for me to read it. But I am a mature adult and always take full responsibility for my actions. So if It is an apology I owe you consider it paid. I am sorry for any misunderstanding on my part.
2 Pet 1:16-21 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Have a good evening Shalom...><> Gal 5:22-26 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. |
