What do you believe about Jesus? Was he the son of god? Did he exist? Was he just a hippy? Was he just a loony?
skysidhe • Dec 21, 2006 8:58 am
People like to use his name alot when they swear? They like to say,'Jesus save me' when they are about ready to die or are in trouble. I hope if he exsists then the former drone of profanitys dosn't drown out the latter plea if I were to ever need him. That's all.

He was a cool dude, way ahead of his time. Not the son of god. He taught a good way of living your life.

Wellll, since you asked ...

Son of God. Lord and God and Savior. The New Adam. Firstfruits of the resurrection. Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek. Creator of all things. Pre-existent King.Comforter. Enlightener. Bread of life. Dayspring. Word (Logos) of God. The One of Whom it was written, "God became man, that man might become God."

Sorry, but you asked. I have more ...:D

Yep--


Following Bill Graham's introduction, they kick off their set with a rockin' cover of "Jesus Is Just All Right," in much the same arrangement as The Byrds’ great version years prior.

Jesus is the savior, and the living son of the Lord.

God said it I believe it, that settles it.

LOL !

Jesus was a stoner. A good man. A rebel. Not the son of God, not divine, just a cool bloke with a good message which everyone screwed up.

Jesus' name comes in handy when I spill sugar all over the floor.

I accept that Jesus was/is the Son of God, and came to provide redemption to the Jews, most of whom decided that he was a nice Boy, but not what they'd been looking for in a sword-wielding, Warrior Messiah.

I do not follow Him, but do not disrespect those who choose to do so.
piercehawkeye45 • Dec 21, 2006 7:47 pm
There is no historical evidence that Jesus actually performed any miracles so I just assume he was a charismatic guy with a big following.

How do you reconcile this with paganism and whale penis?

As a polytheist, it's not difficult.
Happy Monkey • Dec 21, 2006 11:28 pm
As a polytheist, then, Jesus is the son of some random god, like Hercules was the son of Zeus? Or is Jesus' dad the one true God, and the others are His creations, like angels?
wolf • Dec 22, 2006 1:24 am
There are many gods, the G-d of the Jews is one of the many.

I prefer to think of him as "The Buddy Christ". :-)
Shawnee123 • Jan 8, 2007 2:59 pm
Oh, is that what the priest was calling me when I took communion?

"The Buddy of Christ" he'd call me, and I would respond "Amen."

It makes more sense now.

The three wise men arrived to visit the child lying in the manger.
One of the wise men was exceptionally tall and smacked his head on the low doorway as he entered the stable. "Jesus Christ!" he exclaimed.
"Write that down, Mary," said Joseph. "It's better than 'Derek'."




:right:

LOL Bruce...another great bar joke!
