    This is why I don't believe Jesus is God...please tell me where I'm wrong

    Okay, well then not all Christians agree about what is necessary for salvation. Some believe you have to profess that Jesus is God to get to heaven, others don't. Others think certain things, such as homosexuality are not necessarily barriers to heaven, others do. The list goes on... Who...

    This is why I don't believe Jesus is God...please tell me where I'm wrong

    That depends on how you define an "essential doctrine." Plenty of people would consider the necessity to believe in Christ to get to heaven an essential doctrine, yet not all Christians agree on that. Some think if you're a generally good person, you can get to heaven. Others think you can...

    This is why I don't believe Jesus is God...please tell me where I'm wrong

    Well, it seems not even Christians can agree on what Christianity teaches, so saying I'm misguided about what Christianity teaches doesn't really clear anything up. Yes, of course. It's obvious that having a personal relationship with God and knowing that your eternal salvation is secure...

    Yes, that's true. I'd be content to believe in Jesus if I could only be convinced that it's more likely than not he's really God. I should have said "persuasive evidence by a preponderance that he's God" rather than "proof." But to back up for a second, why shouldn't I demand proof? It is...

    This is why I don't believe Jesus is God...please tell me where I'm wrong

    There are millions of Muslims, for example, that FEEL just as strongly as you do that Jesus is NOT the real God. If you ask them to expand, they will say it's obvious if you open your heart and soul to Allah. If I ask a Muslim tomorrow how I know that Allah is really God and Muhammad is his...

    This is why I don't believe Jesus is God...please tell me where I'm wrong

    First, let me say I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. I'm here to honestly speak of my doubts in Christianity in the spirit of open mindedness and in the hope that I learn something new. While I am no longer a Christian myself, I am not hostile to Christianity. I simple cannot...
