As the topic summary says, how can Jesus die if he is God? Or is Jesus not God? According to Christian scholars, the disciples of Jesus were convinced that he was fully God in human form. Doesn't the Bible also quote Jesus as saying "I and the Father are one"?

If you have a serious religious question, go ask your local pastor. Don't ask the hoards of fvcking asshats on a computer forum that flame Christianity -not religion, just Christianity.

I think there are many intelligent and reasonable Christians here who can discuss this with me in a civil manner. Or am I wrong?

We've tried many, many, many times. Asshats refuse to leave it alone. They fvck up serious, legitmate threads with their childish insults.

I think it means that God became human. That's not possible because no human can be God.

There are, but there are probably many more who just want to derail the thread into flames - "OMG WHY ARE YOU EVEN ASKING THIS QUESTION RELIGION IS ALL LIES", etc.

(Purposely not mentioning my beliefs here because it's irrelevant)

Edit: And naturally everyone wants to participate in a thread/topic on which they have strong feelings, and that's how it starts. You can't really do anything about it.

jesus wasn't god. He died for our sins to return by his fathers side.

'least that's what I remember.

But you're not one of them, right? :) So why don't you take an attempt at answering this question for me?

Considering the post I just quoted, it seems to me as though you're not interested in learning, just arguing. If you want to talk about it, I'm all for it, but I won't do it here because of the profound lack of respect of religion on these forums. Oh, and you'll have to pry open that closed mind of yours. :)

Well, the "asshats" come in here with a preconception and argue until someone like-minded confirms it. You wouldn't be much different either if you think that I have come here to argue before we have even started talking about the matter at hand. My mind's open to ideas ... is yours?

That's the best reply I've ever heard out of you.
Congratulations, there's hope yet. ;)

Don't even start with me :roll: I'm one of the biggest defenders of religion on these forums. However, thanks for afirming my charge of your just wanting to argue instead of legitimately learn. :thumbsup: Looks like you're just looking to bait a flame war.

lol.

It's like bobbing for apples in raw sewage. It really doesn't matter HOW delicious the apples are, does it?
