Who Is Jesus Christ?

@Leon Said

Jesus was, in many ways, definitely a pacifist hippie.

Of course the majority of his bible thumping followers on the right don’t want to shed any light on that or admit it. Na’s response to my earlier post is case in point.

It’s called staying on topic.

You can derail the thread but I’m not contributing. The OP isn’t “Why Leon Hates The GOP.”

Who is Jesus Christ?

@Leon Said

THAT was who, in my view Jesus is. He is defined by his words, and those are the words that illustrate him best, in my opinion.

Good grief dude. I mean, I know many Christians don’t read their Bible anymore unless prompted to in church, so it’s not surprising if you didn’t read my post, but you’re not even gonna accept it?

What definition are you looking for? Sorry if what’s in the Bible doesn’t fit.

@Na Said

The problem with this is that your prooftexts become subtext.

You're almost right Leon. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God."

But as the best TFS troll is like to point out, we should know scriptures in the main. Read the scriptures cover to cover.

The entirety of the text shows us the character of Jesus, but when those of us who actually identifies themselves as Christian show up, regs here at the TFS start with>> we are biblically illiterate or that we select verses to confirm preexisting bias.

Bible "experts" have found ways to redefine the person of Jesus. The JW's tell us that Jesus is the First Born Created being of Jehovah was annihilated and recreated. The LDS say that Jesus is the half-brother of Satan and the lead traveler in the route we're all on.

That said, props to you for giving it your best--if that's your best.

CS Lewis was famous for outlining three separate slots in apprehending the true nature of Jesus. (Just an analytical tool)

1) As some say here: Jesus was/is a Liar. Just a con man who manipulated people. He was tortured and put to death for his con.

2) Jesus was a deluded lunatic who not only lied but was mentally warped or evil. He couldn't help himself.

3) Jesus is Lord.


<<<A man, a carpenter, sinless, healer. A cosmic being, first born, eternal, The Incarnate Word of God, The One Who took on the sins for all who would believe



I don't see hippie. Hippies are not obedient/respectful to their parents. He wasn't known for doing drugs or getting drunk.

Yes, we see take The Cup 1) once at the upper room shortly before he is arrested and 2) when the Wrath of God is poured out upon Jesus as he was being killed.

My girlfriend’s dad says that Jesus Christ was an alien (as in from outer space).

He’s pretty much an a*****e though (my girlfriend’s dad not Jesus), so I think he’s wrong.

On the other hand certain people here think I’m an a*****e and don’t believe me, so maybe Jesus was an alien.

@Leon Said

The Bible itself is a selected set of verses that confirm a pre-existing bias (read the Apostolic Fathers, Nag Hammadi, and Dead Sea Scrolls, in addition to the Bible if you want to include most of what is available), not to mention everything in there on Jesus, our only sources on him, was written at least 100 years after Christ, long after actual eyewitnesses we’re dead.

Furthermore, you say you have taken the entire Bible into account in formulating your views, yet you pick and choose what to take literally and/or adhere to, just like the JWs,LDS, and the rest of us do. Otherwise, you’d take everything I quoted and put it into practice, which you, and most Christians, clearly don’t.

@Na Said

That's the biggest reason I didn't make the post about me. You show me something else about Jesus and actually shed light about the identity of Him without bringing me into this, I'm cool with that.


That's a tall request I know. You're an ex-churchman and need a soft target like me to derail this conversation. Best of luck.

@Na Said

There a lot of talk about Climate Crisis and unsustainable environmental change.

Powerful forces are at work today to gin up hysteria and panic.

But, there's just no need.

The earth will be renewed. There will be a new earth.

Check out Revelation 21.

Who is Jesus Christ?

He is the artist of this created globe. He calls Himself the "Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End."

@Leon Said

Translation: It’s okay to display recklessness and disregard for God’s creation and, in turn, towards others living in it, because we chosen people get to start over with a shiny new Earth later.

With that attitude, why bother displaying any compassion at all towards others?

Now your group’s b****ing over masks makes sense.
