So if we go solely by the gospels we're going by the words of other men who may or may not have had a clue what they were talking about. Clearly the gospels are quite belated hearsay.


Abracadabra...your probably right...which is why when debating the bible it's best to debate it if everything written in it was actually handed down by God only then can the truth be found ...

the bible is quite logical it's the believers with their made up version or interpetation that makes it all nonsense..some even claim that some of the bibical story are only metaphoric ...if one story is not accurate then they all fall

this is why I introduced the baby jesus into the equation....because if Jesus was god then so was the baby Jesus and it would be hard to ignore an omniscient newborn baby walking and talking and working as a carpenter

Interesting debate for the sake of debate. Personally, I believe much of the argument about a walking and talking baby jesus is based, again, on our wordly understandings. It is possibly a cute sidebar but , for me anyhow, it seems 'obvious' or at least 'logical' that for Jesus to go through the human experience he was created human and developed as a human. None of that , however, would take away from the significance of who he GREW up to be. To be Lord and savior did not require him to be a superbaby,,it required his experience to be an example to believers.

another word for that is arguing for the sake of arguing



but if you want argue about something you should at least have some foundation in the facts of the argument instead of just whimsy that you thought up in the middle of the night

dismissing the Arian Controversy because you just didnt want to mess with it is ignorance

it isn't in the bible? pfft

the Arian Controversy at the Council of Nicea had a direct bearing and interpretation on what you are postulating with next to no biblical scholarship or understanding. Why propose fantasy when scholars who have devoted their lives to the very question have discussed the very same thing and dismiss and ignore their conclusions?

because it is just arguing for the sake of arguing and facts and reality just get in the way

Jesus was God made to flesh. Jesus was fully God and he was fully man. He was sent to earth to provide his word of truth. If you have seen Jesus you have seen God. You cant limit who God is because How can man understand the Almighty God who created all things. It is beyond our comprehension. God was looking to show man How a righteous man should live his life by example. He had all the temptations and still was obedient to the father.

God is multifacited he is The father Jahovah and he sent his son Jesus and he is everyehere in the Holy spirit.

How can one man search the wonder's of understanding fully the Almighty God?

The secret is the kindom of heaven is within you. via the Holy Spirit. So learn about God thru Jesus because what he says is the truth. Just talk to him it will surprise you why ask people?

the discussion was "did the baby jesus have full god powers of omnipotency and omnicience?"

that doesn't really address that and sounds like Jehovah Witnesses on my front porch. You didn't really say anything except to string together a bunch of platitudes

if your gonna get into this conversation you'll need some background and scholarship on what IS Christanity and how did our current dogma develop and evolve to become what we accept now (as I was trying to explain to funches)

Jesus as "fully God" was not accepted by Peter and never appeared in Christian teachings until 300 years after Jesus died

Don't forget the delusion insult that was thrown at someone for them merely expressing their belief. Or the insinuation that I wanted pre-teens to read Harlequinn ... no idea where that came from.

Msharmony ....if Jesus was actually God it would require him to be a superbaby ..the question becomes why would an omnipotent god lose it's omnipotency just because it was in the form of a human baby ....

if you haven't figured it out yet...the foundation that I'm using is the bible ....

you keep harping on the "Arian Controversy" since it's a controversy nothing can come from it that is why you have to debate within the source not outside it

Lilth ....you claim that Harlequin was romance novels ..and I said that it was soft porn.....I mean let's face it...the stuff you were describing form the book even cause quiet_man to no longer be quiet and scream "holy sh_t" ....

that is why I asked you if you recommend that it was ok for pre-teen girls to read those books...it's a simple yes or no question ....so where is the insult in asking for your opinion since you have experience those types of books ..

Philippians 2:7
but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.


Jesus wasn't omniscient as a man. Jesus was supernaturally intelligent and insightful, but he lacked omniscience.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

(of offspring) generated by procreation; "naturally begotten child"
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Begotten means human. Created by SEX.




The phrase "only begotten" isn't in the Greek version of the Bible, it's translated to English.

The Greek word is "monogenēs", which means "single of its kind, only".

Jesus wasn't created through sex, Jesus existed before the universe was created.

So by holy spirit you mean phallis? You mean his penis? Really???


well let's just say that according to the belief god supposedly filled mary with his holy spirit and then Jesus was conceived


Jesus emptied himself out and his essence, minus his power, was placed into Mary in the form of a fetus or zygote by the Holy Spirit. It had nothing to do with sex and God the Father wasn't involved directly.

drinker Jesus is whatever each individual wants him to be.


Assuming there is no absolute truth. But there is absolute truths, therefore the truth of Jesus' existence and purpose must also have an absolute truth. Jesus can't be "whatever", therefore he must be an "is". "Jesus is real" or "Jesus is fake", both cannot be truth.

Anyway if Jesus is the son of God for folks then so be it. It makes them happy and that is all I would like to see. People laughing, enjoying their faith whatever that is, and creating peace of mind and heart with everyone around them.


If that's the way it actually worked out in practice it would be great.

Unfortunately that's not how it ends up working out. It can become quite hostile and a basis for extreme bigotry.

Even when I used to be a Christian I found myself defending Jesus from the "Christians" who used him as an excuse to judge and bully other people.

I was bullied myself by Christians simply because I didn't interpret Jesus as a monster.

Try telling a Christian that you're not a sinner and see how that goes over. Yes according to the Bible Jesus washed away our sins.

I guess they didn't believe that part. laugh

I think the reason that most decent people find Jesus attractive in the first place is precisely because he denounced the old teachings of Yahweh. People didn't like the idea of having to stone sinners to death.

There's the parable of Jesus at the well telling people who are without sin to cast the first stone. Suppose I was there and stood up and told Jesus that I am without sin and then asked him if HE wants me to throw a stone at the woman.

After all, who's idea was it to stone sinners to death in the first place? huh

Supposedly that was a commandment from God. So does God want us to stone sinners to death or not?

It's stupid.

You have a god commanding us to stone sinners to death and then turning around and acting like it was our frigg'in idea in the first place.

I don't want to stone anyone to death. So does God want us to stone people to death or not?

Yahweh says YES.

Jesus says NO.

Sounds like two entirely different opinions to me. A God that can't even make up his mind? spock

The New Testament tries to make out like it's the mob's idea to stone the sinners to death. But that was supposed to be God's directive! The whole story is an oxymoron.

A God that teaches people to behave in such a manner and then acts like it was their idea! huh

And then he has the audacity to say that he has not come to change the laws and that not one jot nor one tittle shall pass from law?

There's something horribly wrong with the whole story if you ask me.

I think Jesus just tried to teach people some civility in spite of their horrible religion and ended up being crucified for it. Then later they used him as a dead patsy to prop it back up again by writing the so-called 'gospels' that clearly contain fabrications as well as outright made-up lies.

The book clearly contains lies. There can be no doubt about that whatsoever. Matthew and Luke told totally different accounts of what happened to Judas. One claims he toss the money down in the temple and went off and hanged himself, the other one claims that Judas accepted the money, bought a field, and died from a fall.

Somebody is making things up! These authors clearly can't be trusted to know what they are talking about. They lie.

The book is clearly not the infalliable word of any God.

Sorry, but it's right there in the doctrine.


Very true. History has shown many atrocities and still today concerning the faith of Christianity. I hope one day that such followings will end and a new era called the practice of true peace will continue that Jesus was trying to impose onto his people.

or perhaps go with what the bible claim him to be ....the son of god


if that works for the individual then be my guest. drinker


unfortunetly those individuals form armies to force it to work for them


Very true and still today in my opinion. I hope such a reign of belief will come to an end and that a new era that represents true peace will shed a light for generations to come that doesn't involve atrocities, hatred, predjudice, racism, and guilt shed upon its people.
