Our spiritual paradigms should fit together like jigsaw pieces .

"Jigsaw pieces"?

You really don't get the point, do you?

I get the point I need to get .
What point do you think I need to get?

Why all these posts?
What do you have to say that is so important ? Out with it already?

Are you stalling for time?

And I said "Is he YOUR Savior?" Emphasis on YOU.

You still think Jesus was "just a man", don't you?

I advocate for the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry and have been for quite a few years. As I have repeatedly pointed out, it's a very different gospel than the gospel(s) to which the vast majority of Christians seem to subscribe. It's no big secret. From what I can tell, your questions likely have a different gospel underlying them.

If Christians could agree on what everything entails, there wouldn't be the reported 40+K denominations. If you can't be bothered to explain your terminology, I can't see any reason to bother to answer your question.

You advocate the gospel, which is flawless.

You do NOT advocate the man Jesus, who is also flawless, instead presuming to judge him as only a man.

The question is at the core of my beef with you.

A weaselly answer, you ashamed to call Jesus your Savior? Maybe you don't need
a savior, I guess that is a possible answer too?

Using the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry, a cogent argument cannot be made that Jesus claimed literally to be God. If you believe that it can, then make it.

Seriously KJ, you often draw the most illogical conclusions.

What exactly is "weaselly" about asking for clarification?

If you have to ask for clarification for that question, I suspect a straight forward explanation isn’t forthcoming.

Christianity being what it is, it's not a straightforward topic. As I wrote earlier, "If Christians could agree on what everything entails, there wouldn't be the reported 40+K denominations. "

Didn't think you'd be able to explain exactly what is "weaselly" about asking for clarification as it was an illogical conclusion. Not that you'd ever admit it.

I don’t care what the churches agree on or not that wasn’t the question. It is all about Jesus, who is He to you, Savior or no.

Not sure if you'll be able to wrap your mind around this, but Suzianne's question is dependent on what she intended "savior" to entail. Thus far, she hasn't offered clarification.

Do not care, to you is Jesus your savior or no?

Well, given your posting history didn't seem likely that you'd be able to wrap your mind around it.

Whether you care or not is irrelevant.

No answer, I am actually surprised and disappointed. I guess I should’ve expected it.

Put two and two together KJ.
