Yet if these people are so devoted to uncovering truths, it stands to reason that they should be interested in uncovering the "miracles" and "supernatural phenomenon" outside the Christian doctrine as well as inside, right? Why not work at uncovering the PROVABLE wonders of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc.?


I tried that years a few ago, I couldn't find any 'wonders' within those religions. Did I miss something?

I agree with Claythrow in regard to Jesus and God being two different identities. God gave Jesus an awesome portion of his (holy) spirit though, and thus in essence, we say he is God, though he is actually the son of God. If you've ever experienced his presence you know that, all I can say is WOW. I love him immensely.

I think catholic theology requires that Jesus actually be God himself in order to justify their position of Mary as the mother of God. It's not biblical though, except through God's spirit. Jesus called himself both the son of God and the son of man, respectively in regard to both parents. Catholics have even written into their 'bulls' that Mary is a mediator for us with God, just like Jesus. completely unbiblical and great cause for concern in my opinion. I have always wondered about the need for the popes to write what they term 'bulls' and the fact that bulls and bovines are considered sacred by a number of pagan religions. Some people build their bulls of gold, popes write them with a pen. Same thing really though when they say, this is our bull, follow it. Indeed.

All religions have their gods, and certainly their relationships with them. In that context, if a lesser god or spirit than our creator God claims to have done this or that, it isn't neccessarily false all the time. The bible itself tells of many lesser gods and their hold on various peoples who worship them. There are many 'gods' available to choose from that is not in question. Why anyone would choose to worship a lesser god/spirit when they know of a greater one confounds me though. But people have many reasons for the things they do I realize that, even if I disagree with their choices.
