Christ (n.)
title given to Jesus of Nazareth, Old English crist (by 830, perhaps 675), from Latin Christus, from Greek khristos "the anointed" (translation of Hebrew mashiah; see messiah), noun use of verbal adjective of khriein "to rub, anoint" (see chrism). The Latin term drove out Old English Hæland "healer, savior," as the preferred descriptive term for Jesus.
Online Etymology Dictionary

"The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, 'We have found the Messiah' (that is, the Christ)." (John 1:41 NIV)
"The woman said, 'I know that Messiah' (called Christ) 'is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” (John 4:25 NIV)

The definition of Christ above is from the Online Etymology Dictionary, Cliffy. The two biblical quotes that follow are by a Jewish disciple named Andrew and an unnamed Samaritan woman.

Who put "the Christ" in brackets? Is it in the bible or did someone add that? The "anointed one" has appeared many times in history, in a number of different geographical places and different historical time frames. Christ is a title given to an enlightened one, not a god. The Buddha was an enlightened one and there are many who believe that Jesus and the Buddha were one and the same person or at least the reincarnation of the same entity. Their teachings were very similar.

Cliffster - You condemn Christianity. Yet, the Christianity you condemn is in no way TRUE Christianity. I would agree about dogma. No work will save anyone. The Bible expounds on this fact beginning to end. Many warnings are admonished to keep guard against false teachings. None of us have the ability to do so. Only The Comforter - the One Jesus promised to believers will be able to guard us from Satan's schemes.

As it is written no one will come to the Truth without Christ. The jester "REASON" leads many down the wrong road.
I do not condemn Christianity. In fact, I try to live my life by Jesus' teachings. I think it is silly to take the bible literally because it is not a literal history. Watch the videos Spade posted. It comes closer to the truth than literalists are willing to acknowledge.

As I once said to a Christian friend, "Satan is alive and doing well in Christianity". The belief in Satan is not compatible with a belief in a benevolent creator. Taking allegory and metaphor as literal truth is incompatible with rational thought. The Jesus story has merit but it is not the only story that has merit.

As cj has stated, there is a knowledge in/of Christ that goes beyond intellectual assent.

The apostle Paul wrote:

"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ..." (Philippians 3:8-10)

And that is why I call modern Christianity, Paulianity. He deified Jesus to sell his new religion to the Gentiles. He did not know Jesus. He was not present. He was a Pauly-come-lately and bastardized the whole point of Jesus life and teachings.

Also spiritual matters are not all that easy to understand. Only through the Holy Spirit are things rightly understood.
The Holy Spirit was with the Scribes that wrote the Scriptures, that is what you should be using to get your information. You make it sound like that isn't the only way to gain knowledge about God when it is actually the only way.

2Tm:3:16:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:

All the times that Paul was shipwrecked and put in prison was God showing him not to get 'puffed-up' because of the gifts that God gave him and the other apostles. It was referenced as a 'thorn in the side'.

For those that have a personal relationship with Christ and our Father, the scriptures are NOT the only way to gain knowledge about God. It might be your only avenue, but that is your own fault. Don't try to limit others because of your limitations.

That is right gerry. The holy spirit talks to everyone in a way they can relate to. Some listen and some don't. The true spiritual experience is a personal one. The bible relates the experiences of others. If they lead a person to listen to the spirit within, that is great. But to be stuck reading scripture and never hearing the voice of spirit accomplishes nothing.

Cliffy, Jesus - Who was HE? Lord, Lunatic or a Liar?

And you are correct. To believe what the Bible says is irrational - irrational & unreasoning for those not born again. Human reasoning cannot grasp Scripture nor can it be enlightened unless one is born again and only by the Holy Spirit will the truth come to light.

Certainly it is admirable that you follow Jesus' teachings, but please do take heed to everything he says. Reason will try to square things to make oneself sure they are following His teachings, but you have to ask the questions - What does it mean to be born again? What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to convict a person of their sin?

Only a madman would suggest that Jesus is not a good example of how to live one's life. He is more than that. When He says he will separate the goats from sheep - I have no doubt both there will be goats and sheep that have lived a "good life". So why then must He separate them. What is different in one group over the other?

Also, if Satan can undermine the Word of God and make it believed to be senseless and/or a fable, then he has accomplished his mission.

And that is why I call modern Christianity, Paulianity. He deified Jesus to sell his new religion to the Gentiles. He did not know Jesus. He was not present. He was a Pauly-come-lately and bastardized the whole point of Jesus life and teachings.
Cliffy, you came even later than Paul.

He was a Jewish rabbi who wanted to update a stagnant religion.

The born again movement is less than 100 years old. They took passages out of context and created a whole new version of Paulianity. Are you saying that Christians were wrong all this time?

Satan has twisted the words of the bible to confuse those who are incapable of finding god on their own. He is so clever that he convinced you and many other fundamentalists that he was god.


Cliffy, you even came later than Paul.
I and the Creator are one. I have been around since the beginning of time. i, on the other hand, am just a meatbag (as Darkbeaver calls it) with an infantile ego. My spirit is infinite.... and so is yours.

Cliffy, I see we are both set in our ways.
1. Jesus IS GOD
2. God is capable of securing his Word throughout the centuries. A pesky "movement" cannot bring down the Word of God.
3. Satan does twist things to lead people comfortably down an erroneous path.
4. I do not believe you to be a "meatbag". Not sure how to break it to you, but you nor I are the Creator. I have been known by God since the beginning of time, but that is not to be understood as I have been around that long. I am a sinner that has been forgiven by Jesus' atonement and yes I (soul, spirit, - few different words can be used for meaning) I and everyone will be around eternally (if I am understanding your word infinite correctly). We will be spending eternity one place or another.

I am not set in my ways. My spiritual journey is ever evolving with every new life experience. We are all made up of god particles. We are part of god. There is no separation. There can be no separation because we would not exist if it were possible.

Satan and hell are just the tools of fear mongers who want to control people. They don't exist. They cannot exist. They are only the product of those who think separation is possible - the duality of right and wrong, good and evil. Nothing exists that is not god. Hate is something created by those who are incapable of love, which is, again, a product of separation thinking. You can only be separate in your mind, which is controlled by the ego.

The ego is an imaginary entity created by a young child who feels the world is a dangerous place. Religion is a product of the ego that is fearful, who does not know that love begins with oneself. It is a state of grace, not something that can be found outside oneself. If god is love, then everything is love. God is not an isolated being, it is everything; the entire, infinite Universe.

Cliffy, do you mean to say you believe you are God/Creator along with God or do you mean to say you are engulfed with Him in His Being?

As for me, since I am a fantastic idiot I don't think it prudent to assume the role of Diety. Really, if I were to awake one morning and find out that I am God, I advise everyone to run like hell. I do believe I am a friend of God only through Christ's atonement, but do not believe that any part of my being is God. I'm not omniscient, omnipresent nor omnipotent.

"Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God." James 2:23

"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8

For those that have a personal relationship with Christ and our Father, the scriptures are NOT the only way to gain knowledge about God.
Jonestown and Heaven's Gate are two prime examples of how well that worked out. How about the Evangelican movement that is about 50M strong who preach the best way to peace is to kill millions. Perhaps they should be made to provide a few passages that confirm they are listening to God and not Satan.

It might be your only avenue, but that is your own fault.
Too funny, coming from a Catholic you are the prime example of how far off the correct path a person can get. (and you are blind to it which makes it even more of an abomination to God)

Don't try to limit others because of your limitations.
I don't have any limitations as far as reading the Scriptures and accepting what they say as a guide to who God is what His message is. The dangerous ones who come up with their own version using their own (very limited) powers of deduction. It even takes more than reading before the truth is gained but then that would be news to you and the rest of the people on this forum. God being whatever you are 'comfortable with' is one of the more dangerous aspects of civilization unless you thing the Middle Ages were the correct version of how 'true christians' should conduct themselves on the world stage.

M't:18:20:
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.

The ones most deceived about God are the ones who think Jews of today can do no wrong when God has hardened their hearts to the truth so ant that follow them also are blind to the truth in that they literally practiced killing those that God sent to them.

Ro:11:25-28:
For I would not,
brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved:
as it is written,
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,
and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes:
but as touching the election,
they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

How many miles above you level of thinking are these few verses?

Re:18:7:
How much she hath glorified herself,
and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow give her:
for she saith in her heart,
I sit a queen,
and am no widow,
and shall see no sorrow.

La:1:1-6:
How doth the city sit solitary,
that was full of people!
how is she become as a widow!
she that was great among the nations,
and princess among the provinces,
how is she become tributary!
She weepeth sore in the night,
and her tears are on her cheeks:
among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her:
all her friends have dealt treacherously with her,
they are become her enemies.
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction,
and because of great servitude:
she dwelleth among the heathen,
she findeth no rest:
all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
The ways of Zion do mourn,
because none come to the solemn feasts:
all her gates are desolate:
her priests sigh,
her virgins are afflicted,
and she is in bitterness.
Her adversaries are the chief,
her enemies prosper;
for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions:
her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed:
her princes are become like harts that find no pasture,
and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.

Actually it takes Scripture and talking with other Church members to uncover the correct meaning rather than reading and a persons internal imagination.

So, you are of the same opinion as the other athiests on this board and else where. That it is ones "internal imagination" rather than Christ or even God the Father speaking directly to us. Those that claim to have a personal relationship with Christ and through that relationship a personal dialogue are just delusional. Is that right mhz?

1. Jesus IS GOD
I'll show you mine and you show me yours. There partial passage below is Christ's witness to Ge:1 and clearly Christ is not God, or GOD as there is one true God.

Proverb:8:22-36:
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old.
I was set up from everlasting,
from the beginning,
or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths,
I was brought forth;
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
before the hills was I brought forth:
While as yet he had not made the earth,
nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
When he prepared the heavens,
I was there:
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
When he established the clouds above:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
When he gave to the sea his decree,
that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing always before him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
and my delights were with the sons of men.
Now therefore hearken unto me,
O ye children:
for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Hear instruction,
and be wise,
and refuse it not.

Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
all they that hate me love death.

2. God is capable of securing his Word throughout the centuries. A pesky "movement" cannot bring down the Word of God.
I agree with that, the OT was brought back into perfect condition by Daniel and his 3 friends while in Babylon and the NT was perfect from the start as it came in written form. If God did all that then why does reading it seem to be the least promoted way to understanding God?

3. Satan does twist things to lead people comfortably down an erroneous path.
Such as figuring out who God is by not reading any scripture.

Ac:28:27:
For the heart of this people is waxed gross,
and their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes have they closed;
lest they should see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart,
and should be converted,
and I should heal them.

Ro:11:8:
(According as it is written,
God hath given them the spirit of slumber,
eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;)
unto this day.

2Tm:4:3-4:
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables.

4. I do not believe you to be a "meatbag". Not sure how to break it to you, but you nor I are the Creator. I have been known by God since the beginning of time, but that is not to be understood as I have been around that long. I am a sinner that has been forgiven by Jesus' atonement and yes I (soul, spirit, - few different words can be used for meaning) I and everyone will be around eternally (if I am understanding your word infinite correctly).

Only if your mind is the whole of God and neither of you are.

Heb:10:31:
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

MHz - that is quite the litany.
God, being God can save whom he pleases. That person need not be perfect in doctrine. Certainly the day of judgement will not include an exam in doctrine. Do not misunderstand my communication here. Only by faith in Christ's atonement are we saved. Do not judge Catholics and assume all are going to the pit. Yes, their doctrine is askew from Scripture, but we know not the faith of a particular person. I have no doubt that some will be saved even if they believe purgatory to be true. We humans are so balled up we likely don't fully know what we actually believe. Faith of a mustard seed.

If you are allowing no room and are insisting that a believer know doctrine perfectly then you may want to check yours.

Phillipians 2
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

One day EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD. Confess it now or later when it will be plain to you and everyone.

What do you mean - "Only if your mind is the whole of God and neither of you are."? I already stated I am not Diety. I sure all are stunned that that is the case. Many Christian Cults trip over Jesus being God It is rather remarkable. They expound how JEsus is not God and then conclude that they are indeed God.

Other atheists? What post from the years are you basing that comment on or is that how you internal thinking goes making it something you wish was true yet you have no actual foundation that backes up that wishful thinking. It would appear to be something motivated by trying to appear intelligent that is actually above you pay-grade as far understand any Scripture?

Those that claim to have a personal relationship with Christ and through that relationship a personal dialogue are just delusional. Is that right mhz?
Unless you have some actual Scripture (and the more the better) then that is entirely correct. Feel free to quote the Biblee in some of your 'rebuttals' rather than your usual tactic.

I've said it before, the Bible was written by man, with man's own slants and ignorance's. I site Leviticus as proof of that.

Citing the Bible does not give proof that one is a Christian or that they even believe in God. All it shows is that they can read and memorize.

My interpretation of the Bible is FAR different than yours. The difference between me and you though, I don't take "other peoples" word for what it means. I pray and speak direct to get my interpretations. I pray for insite and revelation.

I don't look to MEN that have been dead for thousands of years to help me with my relationship with God. I go directly to the one I want the relationship with.

It barely scratches the surface.

It does indeed include an 'examination' of a person's works.

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

M't:25:34:
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,
Come,
ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

M't:25:41:
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me,
ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels:

Lu:6:46:
And why call ye me,
Lord,
Lord,
and do not the things which I say?

Heb:12:6-8:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening,
God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers,
then are ye bastards,
and not sons.

Do not misunderstand my communication here. Only by faith in Christ's atonement are we saved. Do not judge Catholics and assume all are going to the pit.
Faith in Christ will make you part of the ones listed in Re:20:4, that is one point out of several listed. The ones that die that day are also saved at the Great White Throne as mentioned in Isaiah 65, so really all of mankind is saved when the two groups are combined.

Yes, their doctrine is askew from Scripture, but we know not the faith of a particular person. I have no doubt that some will be saved even if they believe purgatory to be true.
Hell is a true place, that is how the ones in death in Isaiah 65 can be dead and not also be asleep as mentioned in Job:14 and the verse below.

Ec:9:10:
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might;
for there is no work,
nor device,
nor knowledge,
nor wisdom,
in the grave,
whither thou goest.

We humans are so balled up we likely don't fully know what we actually believe. Faith of a mustard seed.
That faith is only available for the ones that are alive for the 1,000 years or in the new earth that comes after the Great White Throne unless you are one of the ones that think you should be able to tell an actual mountain to move after reading the Bible and that I find to be a bit scary.

If you are allowing no room and are insisting that a believer know doctrine perfectly then you may want to check yours.

Phillipians 2
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Isa:53:6-10:
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

1Co:15:24-28:
Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign,
till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted,
which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all.


One day EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD. Confess it now or later when it will be plain to you and everyone.
Do you not understand that the verses below apply to all the ones that die on the day the 7th trump sounds?

Re:7:9-17:
After this I beheld,
and,
lo,
a great multitude,
which no man could number,
of all nations,
and kindreds,
and people,
and tongues,
stood before the throne,
and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes,
and palms in their hands;
And cried with a loud voice,
saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb.
And all the angels stood round about the throne,
and about the elders and the four beasts,
and fell before the throne on their faces,
and worshipped God,
Saying,
Amen:
Blessing,
and glory,
and wisdom,
and thanksgiving,
and honour,
and power,
and might,
be unto our God for ever and ever.
Amen.
And one of the elders answered,
saying unto me,
What are these which are arrayed in white robes?
and whence came they?
And I said unto him,
Sir,
thou knowest.
And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

What do you mean - "Only if your mind is the whole of God and neither of you are."? I already stated I am not Diety. I sure all are stunned that that is the case. Many Christian Cults trip over Jesus being God It is rather remarkable. They expound how JEsus is not God and then conclude that they are indeed God.
Are the words in verses like this simply too hard for you to accept at face value?

Joh:20:17:
Jesus saith unto her,
Touch me not;
for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
but go to my brethren,
and say unto them,
I ascend unto my Father,
and your Father;
and to my God,
and your God.


MHz: You're really winning us over to Christ with your current disposition. Take it easy.
Not my task, God will take care of that. If you can't provide a Scripture to support your view then you are delusional, plain and simple.
