Who is a Christian?

Sorry 😀

I wonder how it could be that we both made the same point within a minute of each other.

Think it could be because it's the truth?

Neither of us are contaminated by church dogma .. and Yes .. its the truth.

Seems like whenever you are faced with having to take a hard look at either the immediate context or the entirety of the teachings of Jesus while He walked the Earth, you drop out of the discussion.

Are you really that afraid of what you'll find?

Should you be?

Perhaps the most prevalent theme of what Jesus taught while He walked the Earth, is the importance of His word:
Understanding His word.
Not just understanding His word, but believing His word.
Not just believing His word, but following His word.
Not just following His word, but KEEPing His word.

The truth will make you free.

The truth will make you free, for sure!

Out of curiosity, why do you say when jesus walked the earth when referring to jesus?

Actually I was asking you.

You seem to like asking questions, but often duck out of answering them.

Any chance that you'll answer?

Probably not.

Probably not.

I'm not surprised. It's what you do.

You seem to be afraid to shine the light of truth on your beliefs.

Aren't you the same person who very recently said this to Rajk999?
"You for some reason have issues with questions, if you espouse a point of view, you should be able to back it up or at least express your view on why you believe a thing rather than condemning those whose view differs from your own."

You and Raj apparently have the truth, what else is there to say?

I understand.

You accused Rajk999 of "hav[ing] issues with questions" and of not backing up his views,
when it is you yourself who are guilty of it.

Don't know about Rajk999, but I have no problem with changing my beliefs when a rational case can be made against them. I seek truth. I suspect that, once again, it is YOU who are the one who is guilty of the accusation that you make.

I have not altered wh Jesus is ... you have. I am like Simon Peter:
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (John 6:68-69 KJV)

Jesus has the words of eternal life.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

I dont need anything else. If you need more than you believe as you wish.

Yes, Son of God I've been saying all along He is that. He is the Word of God, He was
before Abraham and used the term "I am" to describe Himself as well. I'm not denying
Jesus is the Son of God. Nor am I denying He is the Son of man, what you are doing
is creating some perverted version of the two that turns Him into neither.


Who raised Jesus from the dead?

The Bible says:

Jesus is :
The Word of God
The Son of God
The Son of Man
The Son of Mary
The Saviour of the world
The King of Israel
The King of the world
The Creator of all things
One with God
With God from the beginning
Subservient to God His Father

The Bible does NOT say:
Jesus is Equal to God
Jesus is Fully Man
Jesus is Fully God
