QUESTION:
is the bible / religion just a distraction from reality .. it seems both sides atheist and religious nuts alike seem to spend a lot of time arguing about this crap .. its 2013, lets get with the times on a spiritual level ... there is no god, there is a god( higher being ) in you, just not what you have been hammered in church.

God is
1. Our ( Making us all including Christ as " Son of Man " his children.) Heavenly Father.
As he is the only Creator God. Without him nothing would be because nothing would be god.
Jesus Christ is
1. Gods only begotten Son.
Making him relative to God. Enabling our worship of him as our only
possible Savior. He will testify for us ( pro bono )that we are not
totally to blame for what happened in the Garden. Because if Satan
did not exist , his influence would not have caused us to fail.
I often wonder if any one else on this planet has ever noticed one
simple tiny lil fact of what went on," The day the music died.

Luke 3 tells you that the Son of God created Adam. Genesis 1 tells you that Elohim (plural) created mankind and the universe. Genesis 2 tells you that the LORD (Son of God) created Adam, the same as Luke 3.
Careful. The Redeemer is Adam. Jesus is the first and last Adam according to 1 Corinthians 15. If you hound him, since the root of the trouble was originally in him, you will suffer judgment. Why? We are all slices from the one loaf of bread we share.

How do you know whether satan was real or not?
If jesus is real,but not satan, then what entered judas before he handed jesus over to the authorities when it says "And Satan entered Judas." in the bible?
I dont know whether satan exists or not as a literal person im just wondering your take on what satan the adversary really is.
and what about the christians who dont worship jesus as God but still accept him as their Lord?edit on 25-10-2013 by Belcastro because: (no reason given)
Jesus (son of EL) was never born in real life, he is just an anthropomorphic character of nature! He was born in spring and also died in spring (passover, nisan) the equinox, thus the other time he might have been born is Autumn or September equinox! Christmas is now our end of year, which is why he is celebrated during this time, it's like the old end time of the season.

Jesus Created himself and incarnated into adam?
Maybe you are mistaking when they say LORD(in the Old Testament), they really mean LORD GOD and they are reffering to jesus's father who you say was himself.
If jesus is the first and last adam, and adam caused the fall of man, then really it seems more like jesus was punished for his own sins during the crucifixion. if jesus is adam.

Romans 5
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned

Do you believe that jesus was God?
Nope, He was the son of God, not God in the flesh... his followers misunderstood what he was saying... likely because they were jewish... In that particular religion any association with God is blasphemy, which was why he was killed in the first place...
He called himself the son of God, so to a jew he must have been God also... or he was nothing more then a blasphemer... and his followers couldn't consider their saviour something like that...
Jesus never once claimed to be God... It just didn't happen, and if it did his followers would have definitely written it down... Christians wouldn't have to go through the nonsense they do to make the claim that he was God... It would be written in at least one of their testimonies, but it wasn't.
By calling Jesus God Christians make him an idol, and call him a liar by omission...
And "Satan" had nothing to do with anything... HE does not exist
Simply put... Satan is the excess of wants and desires of the physical world... Nothing technically "entered" judas... He was overcome by greed, giving his lord over to the wolves for a meager price. And just so you know i am not a Christian, and Jesus never once claimed to be God... But he is Lord and the saviour of the world

What does the average person understand the Old Testament to be about
Other than God bringing about a way to salvation
The whole Old Testament is about Jesus, everything is about the coming Messiah.
Every story, every word is a lead up to Jesus coming to free humanity from the law.
The law demands sin is punished, Jesus was the punished, for sin.
Would you agree that its ok to worship jesus as a messiah or son of LORD GOD of the old testament, or do you also accept the worship of jesus' Graven images as we see today?
