    Default Topics in Religion: Christianity, Part III, Character of Christ

    After covering some basics about Christianity, I would like to debate the Character of Christ. Explore with me, if it entertains you, the mystique that surrounds the name. Legend? Myth? 100% genuine leather?

    The New Testament of Jesus Christ paints a picture of a man who has become the most discussed and debated figure in human history. But the books of the New Testament were hand-picked by the early leaders of a religious-governmental heirarchy. What about the omitted works of the gnostic gospels? Do these help portray a greater image of the real man? Were more books suppressed? Or were these books rightly supressed?

    Did Jesus believe he was the Christ or did he simply hold a unique vision of the essential relationship between man and his creator? Was he misinterpreted or purposely misquoted?

    Jesus knew who he was and he knew he would evtually half to pay for humanites sins. Jesus is gods greatest gift to humainty.

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    God put Jesus in this planet to do that and he did.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    According to the portion of the texts massaged by time as all oral traditions are and most copied text are as well, that was then selected by a council that was looking after its worldly power... I wonder what the deleted texts said?

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I would love most to hear some historical evidence supporting the personage of Jesus.

    Saying, "The bible is true because it says so" is not what I am looking for here exactly.

    I do not doubt that at all.

    But let's add to that body of knowledge and allow ourselves the freedom to discover the true Jesus rather than a legend or myth created by an institution seeking to control its diverse and insolent population.
