Faith in Jesus. Faith in what he symbolizes: eternal life, and the forgiveness of sins. Faith in our ability to emulate his character: kind, gentle, humble, meek. Always willing to help a soul in need. At home among the poorest, the most destitute. And faith that he really lived, that he was flesh and blood upon the earth, that he lived a human life and understands human pain and human weakness. This is the foundation of my faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the man. But sometimes, I wish I could think of Jesus as my friend. I know his love.
Does anyone want to comment on this passage " Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adultrous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels" Verse 38 NRSV
Any help will be appreciated.
The straight question: was Jesus the son of God in terms of Science? Straight answer: No, in my opinion.

This is truly a historical weekend in History. Where do you think Jesus would be.

Would Jesus be on the stage during the swearing - in or would he be in the crowd?
Would he be at the balls especially the People's Ball?
Would he be in soup kitchens and with the homeless?
Would Jesus be proud of the accomplishments of this man to move past race and differences in the US?
So I watched the Da Vinci Code. I realize that the movie is fiction. I also realize that I am a few years behind.
What are your thoughts on Jesus and Mary being married?
1. Jesus was a rabbi. Rabbis had to be married.
So, in short the atonement theory is that Jesus died for our sins in place of us who deserved to die. Jesus is the Son of God who came to earth only to die so that we could go to Heaven. He was the sacrificial lamb. The last one we need. Jesus committed no sin so He was qualified to die in everyone's place.
I really just want to hear what people experience and feel and think... especially if you are not totally convinced or if your faith falters or if, like me, you feel silly trying to have a relationship with someone who's not around and who (please don't judge me for thinking this, it is something I really think and wonder about) is dead... How do you do it?
