You speak of Scripture, yet you dismissively spoke of the Scripture we have and placed it on the same level as Marcion. Looking to the world we are bound to be deceived unless we are guided by revelation which is the written corpus of the Bi
You call it a collection of traditions and that's precisely why we have no common ground. It is not mere tradition, tradition can be disposed of and taken piecemeal. To not recognize it as the very word of God is nothing more than pretext to build your own idol dressed up in Biblical terminologies.
JCollins, it is time for you to admit that your are CLUELESS about biblical matters. Once you admit it, the Christians here will be willing to help you get on track.
Its not with biblical matters i am concerned. You can't fix it with an eraser, only change it.
Everything said about christs death should have brought about a 180 turn in from men, individually to the level of society. Every person should see themselves in christs words and recognize the tragedy in his ministry and death and in [...]
We wait because we know in the end all will be made right. To deny that the cross is the will of God is entirely to miss the gospel in its entirety.The bible has been to me a fellowship tool. /in every way, wheteher from false motives or true, christ is preached. Everything said about christs death should have brought about a 180 turn in from men, individually to the level of society. Every person should see themselves in christs words and recognize the tragedy in his ministry and death and in 2000 years, we should be alot closer to our goal of a planet full of god children than we are having recognized the truth, I am in you and you are in me and i am in the father. Instead, we are still witch-hunting, finger-pointing and responding to concern with supercilious condescension.
Do as they say but dont do as they do, for they do not practice what they preach. To those who think we will fix our problems via scripture- every abberence we see is a sin to be punished by god thru us, in our mind we know we are oppressed, in christs ministry you can see this firsthand when the israelites refuse to stone the adulterous woman themselves (neither does christ) any action he presents confirms the idea we are oppressed and now, which testament did he reference when healing, manifesting bread, not go tell john people can see/ hear. I mean to say, if fixing our society were to come from the text, why did he not reference it? Only a reminder, love god, love brother. 2000 years of this and i am concerned, when i ask the questions the world gives me and hear wait for the lord wait for the lord wait for the lord faith faith faith, we wait for the very damn ending we were told we would get in the bible. And it doesn't speak to my mind as the will of god anymore than hanging christ on a cross does.
it is The Son of Man which came down from heaven and is in heaven
John 3:13
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, [that is,] the Son of Man who is in heaven.
Can you explain why He doesn't say 'Son of God' here? Seems like your view needs Him to...?
Also here:
Acts 7:55-56
But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"

Why put a literal face on Him ?
So you believe it is perfectly okay to contradict Scripture? "God never became a man"??? Where do you come up with your BIZARRE THEOLOGY?God never became a man but his Spirit continues to work in mankind.

Are you justifying christs death as gods wishes?Deuteronomy 21 -
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree, 23 you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse.
[this is the reason Peter says what he does to "ye men of Israel" in Acts 3]

Notice...
That's Jesus in heaven. no distinction between Jesus and Christ, they are exactly one and the same.
Notice- that is a man one second from death, which is where our enemy wants us be when we find hope.
Not really. Anathema means accursed. Not clueless. Big difference. As to priorities, we must put God's priorities first. And the Bible presents them to us.Anathama is the word you are looking for...
we were already dead when Hope found us, and quickened us.
