REPLY TO LEMON | 2005-11-10
lemon, I would like to take you people who say you shouldn't comment on something and tear your ears off and stuff them down your throat.
Who do think these godlike people are who SHOULD comment on things?
Now to your point:
I believe that Jesus was wholly a man.
I even hope he was not perfect man, because a perfect man couldn't understand me any better than Jehovah could.
Jesus hungered, he thirsted, and, though I might be burned at the stake for saying it, he lusted, too.
Because he hungered and thirsted and he lusted, he knew how to tell us what to do about it, as you say.
The Old Testament begins by saying that God made us in his image.
The New Testament begins by telling us that God's son was begotten and that he was a man.
Jesus understood us far too well for someone who was not one of us.
