This is a matter of perspective. what I mean by this is the following.
it does not mater if emile or robert feel that you are christian or are offended by how you choose to represent your christianity or how you
choose to call Jesus. they dont make the rules for you or anyone else. they only make the rules for themselves. If you believe someone makes the rules for you, you are giving that person power over your decisions. the reverse is true also. it doesnt matter if you think emile is wrong, you are not his judge either.
The reality and cold hard truth is that if you are comfortable in how you practice your faith, then continue on, without caring how others feel about it. they hold no power over you that you dont give them.
That doesnt mean you should nt continue to argue for and promote your beliefs, it just means that you shouldnt let others validate those beliefs for you.
I mean, if I let others validate my own spiritual beliefs on this thread, I would have been run off long ago:-) Not much call for liberal, new age, Unitarian Universalists, and ex-jews around here:-)
