For those with a bit of Biblical knowledge I was making my point. If the person has no such knowledge, then the person is just ignorant and really isn't worth answering.
Maybe the person would do a bit of research and get educated.
Originally posted by vivify I have another question, and I'm asking this honestly. I intend no malice whatsoever.
If (just for argument's sake) Jesus, who the bible says is God, actually had sex...why would that be bad? Would having sex make Jesus less holy?
It opens the door for all kinds of questions, all of which would indeed take away from his holiness.
"Did Jesus feel lust? If he did, did he feel lust for others besides his wife? Did he masturbate? If he did, wouldn't he have to feel some lust?" You know how people can be.
And then there's the question of his bloodline if he had kids. You know, like The DaVinci Code, or Foucault's Pendulum. Too many problems mucking up the importance of his mission. The Bible is a lesson book for man, not a romance novel or a soap opera.

Lust is a sin that comes from the heart. Jesus did not feel lust. That one is easily answered in the Bible as the rest of those things you mentioned.
Ignorance of the Bible just goes to lead to such questions.

Look, you know, if you're just going to poison the well every time I have something to say, perhaps you could do us all a favor and keep it to yourself.
You've already shown that you have no idea how to conduct an online conversation. Instead of acting like a self-important idiot, like your friend Mr. Trump, you might be advised to do more listening than you do talking.

The discussion was about Jesus. If you want to know about Jesus read the Bible.
If you don't want to do that then why talk about Jesus? You are just talking about Jesus out of ignorance.
Do you just want to belittle the Bible? It would be typical and I have no problem correcting those who just want to poke fun at the Bible and what it teaches.
Whatever floats your boat.
Btw, what irritates you about others usually is a reflection of you. You and Trump atr more alike than you'd like to admit.

You are a fool. And you misrepresent people and what they say.
If your characterization of me is what you really believe, then your grasp on reality is tenuous at best.
Stop stalking me, and stop naysaying every post I make. You are like the child sitting in the corner not understanding what the adults are saying, but you "copy" them in a singsong voice most annoyingly. Just stop.
