>>Christians think Jesus is God<< No, most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and some believe that Jesus is both the Son of God and also God. God created the Universe, Jesus did not. It's sort of complicated. The Arians believed that Jesus was completely human. The Monophysites believed that Christ had no human nature at all, was just God. There are a number of different ways of looking at the question. The Catholics and most Protestants and Orthodox Christians are Trinitarians, they believe that there are three parts of God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spririt or Holy Ghost. Unitarian Christians believe that there is only one God. I have the astronomy picture of the day as my home page, and have come to understand both how vast the Universe is, and how ineffable and unknowable God really is. antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov When I pray, I don't think of the God who created me, or this tiny planet, I think of the God who created everything: antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov To tell you the truth, I don't think God really cares whether we are Christian, Jew, or Muslim. I don't think God cares about foreskins and seething kids in their mother's milk and Temples and whether you eat pigs or cows or shellfish, and if anyone asked God, the idea of an infallible human being is a bit of a giggle.

<There is only one God, and that God is the same for us all. There is no Jewish God. There is no Christian God. There is no Islamic God. There is one God. > Exactly... the only difference is interpretation. dAK

The opposite always strikes me. Used to be, and I guess the old churches are still like that. I remember interminably long Masses in Latin with a smattering of Greek, huge foreboding edifices and the priest with his back to you for 3 quarters of the ceremony with most actions hidden. New churches (like where I go for my mysticism LOL) are bright and airy, the priest is always facing you so nothing is secretive. We are apparently also the 'clappiest' parish in town, as in applause. When I was young going to Church was a rigor, now it quite enjoyable especially if one includes all the social aspect. regards Kastel a cute and cuddly Canadian
