Good afternoon Emile, >>>>Hi Craig, Your statement reveals your misunderstanding of Christ and Chritianity.<<<< In all fairness, you must admit that Craig's statement but reveals his misunderstanding of your belief regarding these things. Otherwise, you are establishing yourself as authority and oracle in all matters that are Christian. >>>>Christianity is a religion that makes you a son of God through a spiritual rebirth.<<<< This may be true for you, and thus it cannot be argued. Others though, some Christian and some not, may understand that the "sonship" to which you refer has nothing to do with the religion of Christianity. In the vernacular, it is a done deal- although, this may not be known. Seen this way, the task of the lifetime(s) is to have the experiences that lead to this realization of the relationship. In this sense, learning is an undoing of, a freedom from, all personal and world history itself, a dissolving of the barriers that keep us in ignorance and conflict. There is a spiritual rebirth- a return to the relationship, the "sonship," not just in fact now, but as actualization. For some, it is the teachings of Jesus that serve as guides on this journey home. For others, it may be the teachings of Buddha. There are others too whose teachings (teachings are basically the sharing of wisdom gained through actual experience) serve as the guides. There are many paths that lead home. Happy trails to you...
