I suspect Jesus suffered from delusions of grandeur, a messiah complex. That is why he had to escape or hide when threatened with stoning. I deal with people who hear voices and see apparitions which are possible hallucinations. Jesus claimed he had those experiences too. Now if he had direct and instant contact with god or the Holy Ghost rather than at inopportune moments, he would have reacted differently to those threats. He did claim to be the Christ and son of god. He just never acted as one. At least not according to the verses I quoted in my post.
I am on a Christian forum to observe the level of biblical scholarship that is applied in the discussions.
Anyone can quote scripture to justify anything. Scriptures have been used to support slavery, oppression of race and sexes and to wage wars and burn people at stakes for being different or holding a different view.
It is time to apply critical thinking and scholarship and to put context to some very dangerous doctrines of the past. How great is that!!!
You're making it obvious that you are lost and without God in your life. You know nothing about God or the Holy Bible, so you aren't one to criticize. Yet, you even disrespect God in your ignorance.
1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
