Your arrogance astounds me.
And your ignorance induces my gag reflex. Hell, we can get alliterative until the cows come home, but are we really making any head way? I think not.

The discussion was relative to your comments on the who and the what of the person we call Jesus Christ. As of this writing, there is precious little to nothing about those concerns in any source, save one: the Bible.
2.I knew your post was sarcasm. Really , I thought it was out of place and not in the spirit of the debate.
You are absolutely right: I should stay on topic. However, when a statement is made that so counters basic reason as to warrant correction, don't each of us have a duty to divert long enough to make those necessary corrections?
You're welcome?
3.You just make Jesus into what ever you want to suit your arguement.
Nah. I'll let the Bible inform me, thanks. I've twisted reality enough in my life to know it's a fool's paradise. After causing as much destruction as said perspective allowed, I finally wised up and submitted myself to His system, His truth. I highly recommend doing so to any person who loves the truth.
I believe I was making some remarks about my own spiritual experiences on this thread when you bullied your way into my train of thought.
Big, mean ol' me. Next time, before you let the train leave the station, you should check to see if the conductor's shown up for his shift.
I never said Christianity was not a valid Way. I never dissed Jesus,(in fact I agreed that he is one of the Lords amongst men).
I realize this is hard for you to believe, but what you insist you aren't saying is exactly what you
are saying by virtue of your inaccurate use of a simple little indefinite article.
Imagine it this way. Suppose I am the highest rated player on this site. Suppose you and I are discussing my status as such.
You could say, "Yo, crazy FreakyKBH, you certainly are a highly-rated player here."
I would modestly counter, "Yes, karoly, it is true: I am a highly-rated player here. However, karoly, more than that, I am the highest rated player here."
You come back with, "That rating you have certainly is higher than most people here."
I again modestly point out, "Karoly, I am higher than everyone here."
In this scenario, you have not once acknowledged what I have said about myself. Modesty does not diminish the fact that I am, indeed, the highest rated player here, but you adamantly refuse to acknowledge this status, instead you speak about my chess prowess in wholly subjective terms--- without ever agreeing with me about me. This is exactly what you do with the Lord Jesus Christ with your =pathetic= stabs at placating who-knows-what-sensibilities by (again) your inaccurate use of an indefinite article. He didn't think of Himself as an 'a,' but instead, as 'the.'
My opinions ARE in accord with the facts of my life.
I am starting to feel the most unusually warm and fuzzy feelings I have ever hoped to feel. Please, tell me more!
This is about as mean as I get, but I think you should be a bit more humble and open-minded.
Don't sell yourself short, you're a tremendous slouch.
I'm sure there are other Christians here that may take your side so you feel like you can just bulldoze your way through my views.
I couldn't give a rat's ass if anyone here takes 'my' side. I'm either in line with the truth, or I'm not. You're so concerned about being true to yourself, but don't stop to consider that in doing so, you're bastardizing yourself from the truth, from reality. Newsflash: you can't bend reality. You can live in that bubble as long as it doesn't interfere with cause-and-effect (or, in some cases, continue doing so well after the fact), but eventually and inevitably, the truth shines.
Let me tell you Freaky, you are achieving exactly the opposite of what it is you are trying to achieve.
What is that, exactly?
The only one I have to face is God at the end of the day,(thank God), and not nay-sayers like you😛
Finally! We're in agreement. There's hope yet.
