Jesus didn't have children. He didn't have a 401k. He didn't have anywhere to lay his head. He was completely dependent upon God, who he called alternately his Father, or Adonai—master.

Most people believe they are given salvation by simply believing He rose from the dead. Whether you're reading the canonical Gospels or the gnostic Gospels, that's so funny.

One must recognize the difference between theology and the texts we have been supplied with, which most people couldn't read when the theologies were being created.

Jesus was neither left or right (if your whole theory is political). He was up or down. He descended into hell, he rose again, he is seated on the judicial aspect of the Father. Comes again. We don't know when. God bless us all, we have this amazing opportunity.

The original Christians outlined in The Acts of the Apostles, presumably written by St. Luke, student of Paul, shows them to be communal and collective—they only own things in common. Read it. No need to quote, just take two minutes and read the first couple chapters, it's not hard.

Christians (people who practice the collective teachings preserved from the first few centuries following his ascension) are not 'catholics' or 'protestants' (which is the same thing, or Trinitarian, Nicene heretics).

Only God is good, as Jesus said—why do you call me good (Mark10/18..Luke18/19)?

The Kingdom of God is within.

Then they point to something they want, or something they recieved in the material world and say, God is good. Thank you Jesus.

For shame.

Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.
