I'm not sure what to believe in. Yesterday, I finished reading Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and in it I again read what I've found + Sarah, Jesus's daughter and how Constantine used the "perverted" new testament to make a god out of Jesus to win the Catholic over the Pagan. Altought the book has errors, it is still an interesting read. What is your opinion on this? Jesus, the Lord or -just- a man? -------------------- Complete Newbie He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

QUOTE the christians created a story to make him sound like a messiah. I'm not sure I follow, Judaic texts predicted the coming of a messiah, A rabbi may have been shaped later to fit a pre-exsisting mold but I don't think that Christ's followers (i.e. Christian's) met him, traveled a few hundred years into the past, and dropped off some scrolls for Isaiah. It would be a good "Back to the Future" Sequel though. QUOTE same with god himself (notice they weren't capitalized?). but anyway, jesus must be a man. if god and him were so powerfull and mighty, and god is able to simply kill everyone, why the hasn't he dont it yet? he MUST not be as powerful as people say he is, and if they lied about him, they most likely lied about jesus. I have a feeling that if I was an Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent being, I could think of some better ways to spend my eternal existance then stomping on ants. The entertainment of watching groups of them stomp each other over the idea that they are able to comprehend me would keep me entertained for at least a few million years when I got bored of trying to make rocks so heavy I even Omnipotent strength can't lift them.

Mage Posts: 214 Age: N/A Gender: Male Reputation: 2 pts	According to the Bible, Jesus was God incarnate as a man. I no more argue over whether Jesus was only either one or the other, just as I do not argue over whether the creature who led Frodo and Sam into Mordor was either Smeagol or Gollum - because according to those tales they respectively were both. The stories about Jesus only are just that to me: stories. Whatever their authors say their characters are is whatever their authors say their characters are - in the context of such stories. I do not live my life based upon considering any stories from the Bible as my history.
