Just don't see the point of discussing something that is very personal to each of us. Each person has a belief in what jesus represents to them. I don't want to mess with yours. You keep it and be happy.
I have been down that road many a time and the truth is it will lead no where.
In all the years of my being a "born again" I only observed hate masked as love towards those that reject the "belief" that Jesus is our savior.
One can hear it in the argument. Once I left the born again scene I used to be approached by fundamentalist christians on the street.
Like you they didn't know me from Adam. Like you they assumed that I needed to know about Jesus. And when you made the statement/assumption that most on this thread did not know Jesus, you reminded me of my encounters with these well wishers.
The thing is I am a very malicious person. Armed with the knowledge of the bible I used to drive some of these loving christians to try to beat me up. All to show myself that in fact professing to love god and me through their relationship with jesus was all smoke and mirrors.
