It merely allows one to accept empirical reality.

There is a danger in spliting christianity into new and old age gods. It divides christians against each other and makes christianity its own worst enemy.
and still my simple question goes unanswered.......

Isn't it ironic that a Jewish reformer of the Pharisaic school is taken up as a god by a heretical Jewish sect? He would turn over in his grave if he weren't dead. (Jesus was by doctrine and method a Pharisee. Paul, by doctrine and method, never was. Which is to say, Paul was a liar.)
(Edited for punctuation)
(KJV)John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus was the son of God, but only in the sense that we are all children of God. I know Christians like to believe that Jesus was God's only child, because if he were so special, it lets them off the hook when they behave badly. If he paid the price for our sins, then we don't have to pay it. That's nonsense. You shall reap what you have sown, as shall we all. Wouldn't be fair otherwise, and God is fair.

Well. Thank you for showing the truth of your words before.
In one short paragraph you have denied;
the virgin birth;
the atonement of sins
that Jesus was the only begotten Son of God
and probably a couple more that I missed.

Hey Gracchus,
Whats all this about "...Christians like to believe that Jesus was God's only child..." Are you saying that God is in heaven with a ton of Sons running around.
You're making God out to be some sort of promiscuose deity.
Christ is God's Son, but He is also God Himself. Jesus said in the Bible "He who hath seen me hath seen the Father." He even pronounced Himself as the I AM (YHWH), why else do you think that the jews tried to stone Him? Christ is God!
KJV Psalm 23:1 {A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
KJV Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Oh, and by the way, we prefer not to cuss when we are in these conversational debates. Please base your arguments on facts not on calling people "Jac----es". I am a Christian and if you didn't notice this is called "Christian Forums".

If jesus is god then who was he praying to in the garden before he was taken by the roman guards. your probably going to say something about the trinity but still if hes god hes god, it would be like talking to yourself. if he was just pumping himself up someone should just say that so peope like me don't have to ask questions like this.

You still don't get it. We are all children of God in the same sense that Jesus was, though he was far more advanced spiritually than anyone I have run into on this forum.
I am here, like Jonah at Nineveh, not for my own reasons.

Hey Gracchus,
You seem to think your some sort of deity,.... or wait, maybe it's that you think that if your really good in this life your going to become a God in the future.
When was the last time you bowed before the ONE TRUE GOD??!!
KJV Matthew 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
KJV Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
