Don't anyone reply until I get my marshmallows.

I'm already setting up the grill again.

I'll get the lawn chairs and :beer:

Oh stop it! Try to answer the question please if you have any knowledge of Christianity.

Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt henceforth utilize search engines when seeking answers that have thusly been giventh prior.

As true today as when it was written.

No, that must be the 12th, since everyone knows the 11th commandment is "Don't get caught".

You wouldn't mind reiterating those answers for me, right?

That giant whoosh of air you recently felt above your forehead was you just missing the point entirely.

Are you still here?

Do you honestly think NOBODY has EVER asked that question before? That's one of the most popular questions to be asked by people who haven't ever read the Bible. Google it and you'll find your answer.

From the attitude of people who have replied thus far, it seems that this topic has not been dealt with seriously. That is why I'm asking everyone to just try to answer the question and ignore the trolls.

We are ignoring the trolls. It seems to be ignoring the dumbasses that we're struggling with right now.

I'll say this as stupidly as I can.

I'm gonna run down in the basement and get the stadium pillows.
In the meantime, I hope all the atheists will get the creative hate juices flowing.

You must be pretty special, to have thought of a question that no one has ever asked in 2,000 years.

Another case of my multitasking inefficiency.

The second link might prove more useful, however.

If you have a serious religious question, go ask your local pastor. Don't ask the hoards of fvcking asshats on a computer forum that flame Christianity -not religion, just Christianity.

I think there are many intelligent and reasonable Christians here who can discuss this with me in a civil manner. Or am I wrong?

The answer is complex as it has to do with the devine Trinity of God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Son took human form to complete to prophicies of a savior. In a nutshell, he was sacrificed to show people that their lives should be given in service of others. If everyone did this, everyone's needs would be provided for.

It doesn't take an expert to read the goddamn book.

I guess I'll try to provide some linkage, but it's up to you to actually do some reading on your own. The great oracle Google may help

Just the tip of the iceberg really.

Ok. So one of the links says the following:

Jesus is more than a man. Although he is 100-percent human, he is also 100% God, the Creator of the universe. He is all-powerful. Although evil men killed his physical body, he easily had the power to restore life to his body again.

When his body came alive, he walked out of his tomb, completely healthy and strong.

As you can imagine, when this happened in the darkness, it really frightened the Roman soldiers who were guarding his tomb to keep people away. They were surprised and terrified! It was suddenly very obvious that Jesus was not merely a man. He is God, with power over life and death.

So I guess my question is how can Jesus be 100% God and 100% human at the same time? If he has the power over life and death, why did he die in the first place ... only to revive himself?

Since my method seemed to work...

Jesus is not god. He is just a mssenger sent down from God. There is only 1 God and no one can be compared to him!

Edit: also, you cannot compare anything on this earth to GOD. .god is the creator of all and is way beyond his creation.

You have also not read the Bible.

I flunked out of Christianity on this exact topic. I dig Jesus, I just don't buy into the "Jesus is God" thing. It always directly contradicted the Commandments and set my simple mind off in bad directions. I can even buy the dying for our sins, died and rose to sit at the right hand of God, and all the rest that goes along with it.
I'm wondering how it is that he can rise from the dead and sit at the right hand of God if he's God. Multiple personalities? I think not. I just think someone on crack wrote the "Jesus is God" stuff before consulting the Bible.
