You might want to drop those belief's that are preventing you from understanding what I'm saying, then it should make sense.This makes no sense.

Reminds me of Gnostic posts i've read.You might want to drop those belief's that are preventing you from understanding what I'm saying, then it should make sense.
No, because that would be another way of believing something.Reminds me of Gnostic posts i've read.
Is it?

Of course brinny, nothing does make sense outside a person's belief system.This makes no sense.

You are one annoying human being.
Glob...Why do you call yourselves Christian when you are supposed to be like Jesus? You want to be like Jesus? Then why not be a Christ like Jesus was, and not a Christian. If you see yourself as a mere follower, then how can you ever become a Christ?

The goal is to be Christ LIKE not a Christ sport. To claim to be a christ is to claim to be God. therefore a false christ or antichrist. which the bible kinda looks down on.. Plus one would also earn God's wrath pretending to be a Christ. In fact we are warned against false christ's through out the bible.
very nice very informative... How does any of that change what I said?Messiah means literally "anointed one" and was the common way in which the Jews referred to kings of the dynasty of David. "Anointed" refers of course to the method of investiture of the Jewish kings. It translated into the Greek as "Christos". The Jews regarded themselves as a "theocracy"... a kingdom ruled by God. The Jews also envisaged a (metaphorical) throne room in which there were three thrones. God occupied the central throne. At "the right hand of God" was the throne of the "king messiah" who was the reigning king of the house and family of David. At "the left hand of God" was the throne of the "priest messiah" who was the high priest of the house and family of Zadok. Ideally there were always two messiahs who were known collectively as the "sons of God". All these terms, "messiah", "kingdom of God", "at the right hand of God" and "son of God" were political rather than religious statements. It was a later generation of gentile Christians who re-interpreted these phrases in a very different religious sense. Both before and after the death of Jesus the early Christians, who were, after all, practicing Jews, understood these terms in their traditional sense. Jesus in claiming to be the messiah had not committed any blasphemy... there was no religious crime that the high priest could legitimately charge him with. That is why he went to the Romans to do the job.

So? Or do you not understand the simple foundational truth of Christianity? It's not about what we do it's not about our 'acting' but WHY we act.To be like someone you envision, is like being an actor.
Looking at your action's alone will not prevent you from repeating bad behaviour. You need to examine your emotional reactions first, then your thought reactions, then you will be able to change your behaviour.So?

Your need to be a "christ" rather than an 'actor' is of the same hubris that Got lucifer Thrown out of Heaven and damned to Hell for eternity.
There's only one Christ, there can only be one Christ. The goal of every Christian should be Christ-like character.Why do you call yourselves Christian when you are supposed to be like Jesus? You want to be like Jesus? Then why not be a Christ like Jesus was, and not a Christian. If you see yourself as a mere follower, then how can you ever become a Christ?
This does not correspond in any way to what I said.Looking at your action's alone will not prevent you from repeating bad behaviour. You need to examine your emotional reactions first, then your thought reactions, then you will be able to change your behaviour.

Please God! Kill me now.Oh please.
This "I'm a Real Spiritual Person™ and you're not" shtick is just gross.
