Cho, I am sorry but I really have to question you on this one. You have contradicted yourself severely in these two lines.

Besides that this is not the God I believe in. Jesus died so that we could have his message of loving others more than ourselves--as he loved us more than himself. (workerbee, whether he was immortal or not he died for a message) As I believe, it is not a Christian God you are describing as vengeful (maybe an OT God) but that God could not have created the entire universe because he would be little better than us and we can't even comprehend the entire universe.

Cmm, if you read some of my posts jesus may not have existed at all. Whether he did or not what you might not know is: When Jesus was killed his brother James became the leader Not peter as most people think . He was so loved that he became known as james the just. the point is that he taught something diiferent than what people BELIEVE jesus taught. So now it is believed that what Jesus supposely taught may not be what you think

Good to hear from you again.

N0help4u agrees: I agree and that is why I have a problem with religious tradition---it is man's traditions --often contrary to Jesus teachings --& wasn't this James? “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.”

Does it really matter? If the message can change the world (if people follow it) do the details of how we got it really affect the message?

(Don't really know I am actually asking--please note I am not asking about the details, i.e. whether or not Jesus existed)

I was taking a break from arguing--sorry "debating."

Cho--do you still think it is possible that God is a large amount of energy? Have you gleaned any new ideas from all of this about your original question?

Who is the christian god??Jesus??He never told he was god.Did he??Though I believe Jesus was no ordinary mortal.

I am sorry that i told god was vengeful.my mistake.I must say, that incident was just an aftermath or consequence of what they did to Jesus.

Now i think this was a silly question.Actually i needed an explanation based on science.and i posted this question under science.But someone probably moderators moved this under religion.Nobody got an exact answer.

I moved this to religion because it is not science in any way. It's religious speculation. I also don't believe that science and God are mutually exclusive at all. It might be if you are a biblical literalist, but I think that this viewpoint is plainly ridiculous in the light of scientific work.

God and science are compatible, if someone thinks that they are at odds then they need to learn more about science or look more closely at their faith. I have a very dedicated Christian friend who is applying for a PhD in astrophysics, he accepts evolution, the big bang, and other scientific theories based on the evidence for them, but still has room for the Christian God in his worldview.

There are things that science currently has no explanation for, and things that may never be explained by science. God can fit in here. The idea of a God is slightly ugly under scientific principles, because he cannot be observed or measured, but it's still a possibility that science doesn't rule out.

Cho, This was from years of reading Biblical scholars. You can find lots on his brother James the just, who became the Bishop of Jerusalem, A very powerful positon at the time. Today we have the Pauline Christainity James taught something different than what we see today. example Jesus never wanted non-jews in his church. Remember there was all kind of politics as well. Over the years messages change the way people are inclined to believe.
