Which god which bible? Too many questions and no answers from anyone who knows. Religion is a big business sanctioned by the country. No taxes, special treatment etc. Most people are clueless to the truth!

Again, the evangelical insists on ONE path, ONE theology, ONE interpretation.

Share with us why the Buddhist, the Jewish folks, or any other "religion" that disagrees with the evangelical mind-set does not or cannot have a relationship or interaction with Jesus?

Many of us see this relationship as being fluid and living, as opposed to being written in stone and so RIGID that it cannot embrace diversity in ALL aspects of life.

There was a saying at the Revival tents here in Michigan that the only sure way to know if a person had their "come to Jesus" moment was the number of times they used JESUS in a sentence and if theY credited JESUS with EVERY THING that happened on their daily life--

THANK YOU JESUS FOR TELLING THE COOK TO MAKE MY EGGS JUST EXACTLY AS I LIKE THEM. JESUS GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO FORGIVE THAT BAD PERSON WHO RAPED AND IMPREGNATED MY DAUGHTER, THANK YOU JESUS...I KNOW JESUS WAS LOVING ME WHEN I FOUND $100 OUTSIDE THE MARIJUANA DISPENSARY AND USED THAT EVIL MONEY FOR GOOD WHEN I BOUGHT THAT LITTLE BOY A CANDY BAR AS WE DROVE THROUGH THE PARK TALKING ABOUT MY FAVORITE MOVIE "AIRPLANE!" JESUS JESUS JESUS, I AM SO UNWORTHY, LIKE A DYING COCKROACH, YET JESUS LOVED ME ANYWAYS. JESUS WILL LOVE YOU TOO IF YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING I AM SAYING AS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH IN THE UNIVERSE..NOT EVEN SCIENCE IS REAL..

Anyone can have a relationship with Jesus, but that makes them a Christian.

Or, it makes them a friend.

I’ll take that to mean you have no valid argument.

Only in the sense that "Christ" is not limited to "Jesus."

Wow, this thread gave me a headache within the first two pages! Obviously God accepts worship of all people of all religions or no religions. But there should only be one religion. The very concept of religion is all people united in their love of God. If you form a second religion, you are deliberately cutting yourself off from others. God is who he is and no religion knows that perfectly, but some come closer to the truth than others. I would rather be a member of a grossly innaccurate religion that 90% of believers are part of than a highly accurate religion that only 10% of believers are part of. In other words, the main goal should be unity. Fortunately, I don’t have to compromise. I believe the Church established by Christ is the most accurate.

Jesus came to save the Israelites from themselves. They were apostocised when he came, they rejected him and sent him to his death. = the last straw--God cut them off( Matt 23:37-39) of being his chosen. A new religion began--just 1, not 34,000, 33,999 are FALSE.

So, your assertion is that Jesus ultimately ceased being Jewish?
