Question about Jesus Christ?

[jdgregory84]

^^^^^
Agitated aren't we?

I think you are trying to portray God solely as being Jesus Christ. Let me introduce you to the concept of the Trinity: The Father (God), The Son (Jesus), The Holy Spirit. Difficult to grasp, I know, because I don't completely grasp it myself.

I'm not agitated at all. I typically type how I talk. You're one of the peeps in this forum I actually respect and going in to a conversation I understand that most likely, nothing will be resolved(like 99% of threads in the theology forum). Unlike BrianC though, you stick to your word and don't back-track and ignore previous posts that you've made. Like I've told you before, my family and I have polar opposite religious beliefs, but I respect that they have theirs. Just like it blows my mind how somebody can put all of their faith in to something that they can't prove exists with their five senses, I'm sure it blows your mind to think that everything in the universe could come from one microscopic singularity that said "fuck this" and blew up.

Nah you're cool, agitated was meant to be sarcastic and maybe get someone, well, agaitated.

You have to give BrianC some slack if he does backtrack, because with all those verbose posts how in the hell (gasp!) can he remember what he posted?

Regarding faith, does it not take a similar leap of faith to believe the universe simply began with a Big Bang, which was not witnessed or perceived by any of the five senses? Does this theory at all offer any explanation of how nothing created something (this singularity) out of nothing? Sounds like faith to me.

I suspect the reason is that most people have a residue of feeling that Darwinian evolution isn't quite big enough to explain everything about life. All I can say is that the feeling disappears progressively the more you read about and study what is known about life and evolution. Evolution does not require the nonexistance of God, it merely allows for it. That alone is enough to evoke condemnation from those who fear the nonexistance of God more than they fear God Himself.
Geology shows that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species represented changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. Creationism is the practice of squeeezing one's eyes shut and wailing "does not!"

Actually doctor, Merriam-Webster disagrees with you.

CREATIONISM
cre·a·tion·ism (noun)
a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing and usually in the way described in Genesis

Now, which definition of creationism should I follow? The boring old Dictionary of the English Language version or Dr. Daves crackerjack box version? Tough choice, lol......

God did not create man in his own image, man created God in his image.

Do you mean all these learned minds, along with the token few not-so-learned ones, who have graced this thread haven't yet enlightened you?

You didn't address it very well. You said that "image" means "spirit," but failed to back it up or further elaborate.

Read the verse from Genesis that preceedeth that which thou quoted.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness....

Many readers, including me, interpret "our" to mean the Trinity, i.e. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Only The Son was among us as a man.

What became of last week's speculation over the building blocks of life having been delivered to earth by meteorites?
