I think it makes Jesus that much more wonderful.
I do not agree. And Jesus did not say that. Jesus is not God.
So, Jesus isn't God? I have heard view points for
both sides of the coin, on this issue. You have also stated:
IMHO, there have been many incarnations of Jesus. Maybe
he died a billion times for others on other worlds
Why would a man die a billion times for other worlds?
If Jesus isn't God, why is He so priviliged? But Jesus
did make a statement once and it stumps many, who believe
Jesus not to be God. Here it is:
Luke 18:19 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me
good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
Jesus wanted to know why the individual called Him good.
He told the person ONLY God is good. So now you have a
predicament you must resolve. By Jesus' own words, ONLY
God is good. This leaves two possible descriptions of
who Jesus is. #1 Jesus wasn't good, since He wasn't God,
thus not perfect, and not sinless, thus making His sacrifice
on the cross void. #2 Jesus wasn't correcting the individual,
when He was called "good", but rather explained the reason
as to why Jesus was "good", and that being, He is God.
Jesus is either good or He isn't. If He isn't, then He is
disqualified. If He is good, then you know who He is.
That one verse will let you proceed, or put you in a catch 22.
