POLL: Who is Jesus to You?

[nealvan]

Quote from Yuvrajjj:

The name "Christ" means "annointed one". This is take from the Greek word "Christos". Some language historians trace the Greek language to the oldest Indo-European language, Sanskrit, which is 3,500 to 6,000 years old, perhaps older. By finding a Sanskrit equivilant, it is reasonable that we may be able to ascertain the probable origin of the word "Christ". The Greek "Christos" is almost identical in sound and spelling to the Sanskrit word "Krista", meaning all-attractive. Sometimes we meet a girl named Krista or Crystal.

These are common American names. The Sanskrit word "Krista" is a variation of the word KRISHNA, one of the countless and ancient names for God Almighty in that language. The name "Krishna" also means "all attractive". Who is the most attractive person? GOD, of course. Why is God a Person? It is written, "MAN IS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD." If we are persons, then logically, as our creator, God is the Supreme Person. Why is God called "All-attractive"? Because He has everything in full.... including power, fame, renunciation, wealth, personal beauty, and intelligence. Human beings may have some of these attributes in part. But God, as the Supreme Person, has everything in full, with no shortage in any way. No one possesses anything beautiful, intelligent, great, powerful or more opulently than God Almighty. Even the Atheists are attracted to the power of God Almighty, albeit, in a negative manner.

We should ask, "What do Christ and Krishna have in commom? It is common knowlege that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Who he called "The Father". He referred to himself as the Son of God dozens of times, and to God the Father over 200 times in the New Testament. What is not generally known is that God has many names in many languages, not just a few Biblical names. One such name for God is Krishna. Initially, we may object, but when we think about this concept without anger, prejudice, or preconceived bias, we can logically conclude that God must have unlimited names, because God himself is unlimited, by the very definition of the word... "GOD". American Indians have names for the Holy Spirit. The Eskimos, the same. Muslims call God "Allah". People in all lands of the Earth have different names for God. If we contemplate this idea for a moment in silent prayer, then we can understand it's simple, obvious truth. There are countless names for God.

Rcanfiel strikes me as the typical insecure Christian trying to convince himself through numbers. However just as in trading the majority is almost always wrong and especially so in this case. To believe Jesus was anything but an ordinary man is wide eyed naivety and childlike ignorance

There's no need to burn down the house just because someone put up some gawd awful green curtains. See...

Quote from www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcpa5.htm:

In order to compete with those religions, Christianity would have had to describe Jesus in terms that matched or surpassed the local myths, stories and legends. The authors of the gospels may well have picked up themes from other sources and added them to their writings in order to make Christianity more credible to a largely Greek/Pagan world. By peeling away such foreign material, they might be able to get a clearer picture of what Jesus taught and how he lived. By stripping away these accretions that have become attached to the life, story and teachings of Jesus, they might get closer to the historical Jesus.They can better understand his mission, and learn from his teachings.

You were given a mind. Are you telling me you can't use it to discern fact from fiction?

At least rcanfiel attempts, deluded a deity as he is, tries to say something he thinks has value.
But you make a similar mistake on the opposite side of the coin.

Rcanfiel makes me special, the only son of God among men.
You make me the same as men, but not the same as the Son of God.

Both of these thought systems serve the same end: to kill the truth that man may keep his fleshly home and call it "reality".

The truth is, there is only the Son of God.
When he is deluded, he thinks of himself as a man, or, "the son of man".
This means I was the same as all men.
But delusions cannot change the reality of the Son, whom he denies.
Underneath the mask of flesh is the Son of God.
This means all men are the same as me.
There is only one Son of God, and we are It.

This information will 'save' you if you apply it.

Regarding 911:

The official story differs greatly from the evidence on the ground.

Does this mean the towers never stood?

Likewise, the "official" story about me differs from the facts.

Does this mean I never stood up?

Sosexy strikes me as the typical frustrated person who is probably using an alias, and who knows nothing about where he came from or where he is going, knows nothing about the eternal or infinite, but likes to think therefore his blindness makes him an expert on things he knows nothing about.

Great. Then you won't mind providing proof that he is ordinary, instead of God. And when I say proof, I don't mean your opinions.
