[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [qb] That, or Jesus is/was schizophrenic. [/qb][/QUOTE]One of the reasoning points about the Trinity doctrine. If a human displays the qualities of a multiple personality we call it a disorder and get that individual help. Yet God, in whose image we're made, is supposed to be three personalities in one? There's a difference in praying "through" Jesus and praying "to" Jesus. One of Jesus roles now is to act as a mediator between God and man. He delivers the prayers to God. It's a simple chain of command - Man's head is Christ and Christ's head is God. Much the same way any corporation has a chain of command - you talk to your manager or supervisor and he delivers the message to his supervisor. [QUOTE]You know, I recall reading somewhere that the prophecies in the Old Testament about the Messiah weren't all fulfilled by Jesus. [/QUOTE]That's interesting Daniel. I'd like to see that reference. What I read was the exact opposite. Of the hundreds of Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, all of them were fulfilled by Jesus. I've read this in connection to the accusation that Jesus was a con-artist who read the prophecies and then arranged events so that he'd fulfill them. It simply doesn't work. There are many prophecies that were beyond his control that he couldn't influence yet did fulfill. [QUOTE]My problem with Christianity is that it claims to be right where others are wrong. I vehemently oppose that.[/QUOTE]A lot of people feel this way. If you take the Bible as being true, however, you'll notice that this is exactly how God operated all through the past. If you want to survive the flood you had to get on Noah's ark. If you wanted to worship him the way he approved, you had to reject Baal and the other Pagan gods. If you want Salvation you have to accept and follow Jesus. But when you look at the distortions we see today between religions that both claim to follow Jesus, it does make you wonder. [/QB][/QUOTE]
