Evolution and the soul...

From my point of view, a "Christian" is someone who accepts Christs core teaching - which is that we are flawed beings with an impaired relationship to God, disobediant children who should ask for forgiveness. A christian is most certainly not someone who reads their Bible every night just because and wears a cross around their neck.

So you reject the divinity of Christ?

Did I say that?

Yes; you kinda left that part out. I'm also playing on your rather subjective definitions.

So you infer from what I wrote that I don't believe something because I didn't mention it?

Christianus Fidelis - "one who is faithful to Christ," not "one who worships Christ" - totally different verb, and fidelis cannot be misconstrued to mean that.

What is the relevance given in the Bible to Christ's divinity?

The idea of a "sufficient" sacrifice is a later invention be medieval theologians who saw the battle for men's souls in the frame of serfs being owned by their masters. According to this view the Devil "owns" man in "bondage" i.e. serfdom, and Christ literally pays, in a monitory sense, for the souls of the saved with his blood.

This is all about constructing Christ as a medieval King - it's not in the Bible.

If you want to know what I think about Christ's Divinity - look it up, I've talked about it often enough - it's not my fault if people don't read my posts.
