Well, seems there's still hope for humanity and the comic book universe then. :up:
My point is that most (but not all) you are dealing with on here, do not embody the Christ of Scripture such only assert they embody.
The Christ of Scripture is an individual who had espoused values and attitudes towards those less fortunate as the following example.
Matthew 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 26:8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 26:10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
You are dealing with hypocrisy in such on here.
Such are all over the internet and TOL.
Such embody the hypocrisy of the following Pharisee...
Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Verses 11 and 12 describe such, exactly.
Such are anything but "Christ types."
In fact, I continue to find that such take great offense with having their hypocrisy pointed out to them.
If anything, such continually fail He Whom they claim to represent.
Your impression of such supposed "Christ types," came from them.
The result being that instead of this following passage being a description of such...
2 Corinthians 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
This next passage is their actual description...
Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
It is no surprise that such voted for and or support someone as disgraceful an individual as Donald Trump has continued to be the overwhelming majority of his entire life.
I mean; look at how such who claim to represent Christ are described by Him.
Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
You have been deceived by such.
Christ has not been Who has actually been represented to you by such.
Of course, you know whether or not, and to what extent, that has been convenient for you; in one way, or another.
