But it seems to me that an awful lot of Christians put the emphasis on the man, and not the teachings. They put Jesus on a pedestal, and act unworthy of him, and to me it just seems like passing the buck - 'I'm imperfect, but Jesus is perfect, so I'll look to him to save me,' they seem to be saying. They may pay lip-service to his teachings, but so often they don't appear to actually live it.

And THIS was why I was banned from an active Christian Forum....when I realized the above
and started a thread, "Christ is too much in Christianity".
He pointed continually to the Father....my point was only..."Hey, guys.....what happened
to the Father?" And I was banned; ha!
