The reason the emphasis is on Jesus, is because he is the Saviour. The one to make man right before God. He's the mediator. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Gus Gus - Is Jesus Your Pal
Is Jesus your pal? Do you call out his name, when your concience is shivering? Do you need someone too, just like those people who find peace in someone's promises? You sure don't need my promises... So come and sit on my box, enjoy the view of this water, where my lifeboat is sinking. If you open your eyes, take a look at this mess, could you fake your reflection, child? If you reach out for more, you'll find nothing but sorrow. 'Cause knowledge is hollow. And pride is hard to swallow. So come and sit on my box, enjoy the view of this water, where my lifeboat is sinking. Most amazing jew boots |

Jesus is unimportant, it is Eris you should be worrying about.
A SERMON ON ETHICS AND LOVE One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES? "O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!" WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL. "I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe." WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? "But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it." OH. WELL, THEN STOP. At which moment She turned herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded alone with his species. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? “When I slap you you'll take it and like it.” |
I think Jesus was a cool cat...Christianity isn't necessarily a good image into which Jesus is superimposed, due to the conflicting interests of Jesus perception of existence vs. that of the establishment. In a way, it seems to me that the real ideal of Jesus has been raped by the institution of Church.

My lord Jesus will always be oppressed on-line.
Let's face facts Christianity gives us so much freedom most people tend to hate on it yet they love freedom. Face it that if he never came that we'd be a supremely oppressed society, women would be supremely oppressed almost slave like, women benefited a lot from the coming of Christ. If people don't find Jesus or want him at least you can root for him because we are taught compassion and patience and compared to Muhammad and his followers they are going to oppress the world.. they are going to give people the ultimatum one day it's either follow or die. They're already taking Europe over, yet we still squabble about Jesus being a fake and all the Christian affairs that plague us we just don't have the unity. That's why the crusades were a failure. All our inner cores wants to be forgiven.. we want peace and love we don't want to kill we're considerate and compassionate that's all our lord represents. Everything he says is what our inner cores want to hear even if you're not even a religious person it just clicks. It's saddening that Jesus is so great but his church suffers because we as his followers just aren't humble and considerate to our brothers and sisters that we tend to scare off the new. Or the Catastrophes of our lives make him negate him. It's sad that the disobedience or negation of one man can bring down so many. I pray for this world. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You know, I don't really see myself as the religious type (read: I fucking hate organized religion) but I agree with a lot of the teachings that Christianity (or pretty much any major religion) tries to impose as a form of self-improvement. Respect for self and others, respect of life, brotherhood, tolerance, honor thy family; these are all things that ANY rational human being, regardless of faith structure or religious denomination, can at least agree to as being fundamentally good things. Having said that, I think that is precisely why Jesus is quoted as the de-facto standard for all of these teachings. The man is universally (at least in writing) recognized as having stood firmly for all of these things. I personally don't find any use for Christianity but I know PLENTY of people who are better people because of it. Because they see in Jesus a role model of how they should model their lives to be better people themselves. I can certainly see the value of that; even if I'm no bible-thumper myself.

Hey! what happened to that one post by the guy who pulled out a bunch of scripture dealing with women? I think those passages summed up the Bible's stance on women pretty nicely.
On topic though, This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

An adulterer exercises more freedom than a man who clutches his rosary all day, for he is not bound by dogmatic law.
I'm glad Jesus fixed all that.
Glass houses, you know.
They don't teach you that in church though.

I don't want to sound like a thumper here, but in my personal experience, science has only ever drawn me closer in my faith. That's not meant to be some sort of religious plea for everyone here to get saved, so don't take that the wrong way, that's meant to provide an example as to how horribly mixed up the church is. There are many different ways of thinking that provide many different world views, and sometimes people can look at the same thing and come to two very different conclusions. The fact of the matter is, Christians need to realize that some people are perfectly happy the way they are, and that no amount of scare tactics are going to get them "saved." I think that kind of defeats the whole purpose of salvation and is quite anti-biblical at that - if you just believe in the resurrection so you don't go to Hell. Not a strong foundation. And I think many Christians would do well to dwell on the possibility that they may be wrong. I believe I'm right, sure, but I also wrestle with the fact that there is a possibility that I'm wrong. It's how you live your life with that in mind that really defines who you are. If I'm only being Christian to avoid Hell, or other simple & base reasons, that's going to show. If I'm a Christian because of something deeper, I'm probably going to be satisfied with what the world views as "restrictions & rules" and that's going to show up in light of the idea that I may be wrong about the afterlife, and the whole spiritual realm. I've especially seen this come out in religious debates on this forum and others - those who can't deal with that fact that they are wrong deal with other people, and challenges towards their faith very poorly, and often make complete idiots of themselves. Just ask yourself: If your beliefs are wrong, could you still be happy with how you are living as a result of your religion? Are you just doing it to get rewarded in the end? Wow. Sorry to fly off the handle and get preachy there. It's just something I've been dwelling on recently. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? FGSFDS!!! |

The Jewish pray to God. Muslims pray to God. Oh, but they've been slaughtered by the millions by *ahem* 'other' religions throughout history. Yeah, that must be the wrath of God, that... FELIPE NO |

The point was that I've been told several times before that Christianity is the only way because the Christian countries and peoples are the only that have never really been dealt any "wrath of God"; the irony is that said "wrath of God" events include Christian initiated events like the crusades, the holocaust, etc. And it wasn't deep it was sarcastic. *** Why "find Jesus"? I think things have just been too blown out of proportion. Worshiping Christ as God Himself seems to just kinda miss the mark a little bit, doesn't it? I don't think the whole point was to end up praying to him, and becoming a "united servanthood of Christ". It just makes more sense to follow him and his life as an example for your own; something to strive for, and nothing more. The idea of God, if he exists, leaves little of an example to look up to. Who knows why he does/did the things he's done? Jesus' life and decisions make a lot more sense to the common man, as it's just a wee bit easier to relate to another man, rather than, say, an omnipotent being. Far too many people today use their Christianity to supplant their moral "holier than thou" attitude.

I just want to say 2 things.
#1 The Son of GOD, whom is The Messiah Christ Jesus is not " GOD ". I dont know how hard it is for people to understand that Jesus Christ was " sent by GOD ", thus nobody can send thierself. The Word Trinity is not even found in none of the bibles, neither is the term. Jesus Is the son of GOD, not GOD. #2 Anyone who reads the bible is suppose to hold their faith in GOD & Jesus Christ, Jesus is the savior of this world, so to ask why Jesus is kinda weird to ask. Everbody already knows GOD is comes first, but from the bible viewpoint, Jesus makes it clear that before you can know GOD, you have to know me( Jesus ) first. PEACE How ya doing, buddy? |
PEACE *drops the mic and walks off stage* This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |

*applause* Yeah, I could say alot in this topic, and I might try to devote sometime to it. But put simply, 90%+ of all "Christians" have severe misconceptions of what the Bible says, let alone what it means. No one actually reads the thing. I mean, no one really takes time to read it, and even when it is read, reading it without major preconceptions or biases RARELY ever happens. I dont care what anyone says, Jesus claimed to be God and that by making Him the forgiver and leader of your life, sin is forgiven and heaven is gained. That simply is Christianity, not any of the extra bullshit that people add about "wrath of God", or dismissal of science, or the judgementalism that prevades most Christians minds, or "god hates fags", or one country is favored over another. All these statements are made by people using the Bible and the Christian religion to push their own agendas.

Just to answer the Virgin Mary thing, I think it's just one of those pagan aspects of Christianity. It indeed doesn't really stick anywhere in the core symbol of Christianity and is with many others the expression and remnant of ancient faiths and beliefs that always came naturally to man.
You often read from so-called "pagans" (no, it's not a religion btw, dumbfucks) that omg lol Christians stole all their saints and feasts from "pagans" and all that jazz. Personally, maybe especially as a Catholic, I've always cherished the reunion of paganism with that higher spiritual conception of existence that indeed is Christianity. This is, to me, the acceptance of the duality of man. It's quite interesting to compare the practice of Christian cults in Africa and South America, for example.

When Jesus came to the earth He died and rose again on the third day to save our sins. He said to get to my father, which is God, you need to come through me, Jesus. That is why I belive we pray "Lord Jesus" and not "Lord God." Some people do pray both ways though and it really doesn't matter as long as you are speaking to Him, since He is one in the same.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Gotta find Jesus to find God as he is the intercessor:
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." That whole Holy Trinity deal is tricky business. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Jesus was probably licking toads or licking LSD off red woolen shirts in men's bathrooms or cramming drugs up his own ass. Anyway, I'm sure you've all seen what assholes potheads turn into when they have the munchies and get crumbs all over the couch. Fuck that shit. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
