a hammerhead shark held in captivity and a komodo dragon held in captivity had virgins births, so they must be god too. imo, jesus was not god, his soul was a representation of god and he showed us his way, which was his greatest commandment....love.....and it is up to us to find our own.

As long as you believe you can't, well thats where you will be, on the outside looking in. So whats taking you so long ?, come inside with me and rejoice, or party.

Never said I was afraid or frightened of him. Interesting that you read so much into my one statement.
By his words(as written in the Bible) it seems he believed he was the son of God.
Personally, I believe we all have the same forces at our disposal that it is written he used.
It is even written that he said that the things he did, we could do also.
I have been fortunate in this life, to have had an open mind since an early age. Most people seem blind to their possibilities, influenced by handed-down beliefs.

That's it, its just all handed down beliefs, we have to discover the truth within for or SELF. Why do so many wast their time on a prophet that supposedly lived around 2000 years ago ?, yes we can follow what he pointed to but not him, that's just a wast of time.

Some people do not have the self-confidence to work alone. If their abilities are strengthened by a belief in a person that may or may not have lived centuries ago, I see nothing wrong with that. The end result is what matters.
The problem seems to come when people are influenced by the written living standards of other men that the Bible seems to contain.
When the Bible was made into one book by a group of men, the legends and written material they sorted through was either included or excluded to meet their standards of the time.
Most people do not realize that at the time,of the Bible, few people could read and written material was only in the hands of a few and interpreted to the masses. History bears this fact out.
Organized religion left out a lot of material that could have been very informative to an inquiring mind.

Yes and thats my point, you have to move on from these supposedly scriptures, and supposedly god men, no matter who, we have to move on to find the truth within, its never going to be found outside. In other words we have to mature in spirit, not stay on the milk that is meant for babes, but to move onto the meat or the deeper truths.

Hebrews 5
11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
King James Version (KJV)
