Sorry Twila, I am trying to multi task and am failing miserably.
Your Question: Then how could Jesus have died for mans sins? Where's the sacrifice if he wasn't really going to die?
He did really die.
At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
An in depth study of the Trinity is necessary.No apologies necessary.
But in an earlier post you said Jesus was God. God can't die I thought. So Jesus couldn't have died. And would have had no fear of death and therefore there would have been no sacrifice on his part.
He was talking to himself?
Twila, it's anyone that doesn't think like CJ and Motar. Anyone that doesn't believe what they believe. I am a "luke warm Christian" as far as they are concerned, but then, there's people like PoliticalNick who consider me a Christian fanatic. Go figure eh.
JLM,
His sheep do not need other sources to confirm the existence of their Shepherd. We know His voice.
Gerry, I'm not sure your spiritual temperature is even relevant here.
The crudeness/condescension in your "I'm not rude..." status and "Who lit the fuse..." rhetoric in your posts casts serious doubts on your confessed Christianity. I have never ever heard Jesus Christ address anyone this way.
and there we have what I have stated previously. Also, I have never alluded to being Christ, or even coming close to who and what he was and is. Unlike the holier than thou's in here and else where.
The glaring gap between your talk (I am a Christian) and your walk (conduct towards others in this forum) is puzzling.
I believe it was "GTFO."I'm curious, what was it Christ did and said again in the temple to the money changers?
It's really no different than yours. Difference is, I'm up front and am not condescending in any way nor do I cloak my words.
An in depth study of the Trinity is necessary.
Both Old & New Testaments support the doctrine of the Trinity. Human reason naturally finds this teaching a stumbling block. One God, yet three distinct persons. Read first chapter of John and first chapter of Hebrews for more clarity. Keep in mind the total of Scripture expresses this mystery.
Thanks CJ44. One God, yet three distrinct persons. That answers it enough for me.
Three, three, three gawds in one!
Gawd is a committee. That'd explain so many things.

I see all types of various committee's. My favourite are the itty bitty puppy committee's that break out at dog parks.

Do you embrace only certain books/chapters/verses?

Would this be wrong? Do you have to find a way to embrace every thing in the bible?
