God only made One Perfect Man, and He was crucified for that Perfection. Which means, we, as imperfect beings, must try all the harder to be Christ-like.

Jesus was angry at the money changers, angry at greed, if I understand it right.

All Jesus did, was to show us all that God exists, within each one of us, just as God existed within Him.

We are all capable of Miracles. The only thing we lack is trust.
With God in our hearts, nothing is really a miracle, it's just God's will.

The only reason I used the phrase "All Jesus did," above, was to point out how simple our salvation really is. Look what He had to go through, to show us, and share God's love.

I hope I haven't offended anyone. I'm glad for the opportunity to discuss Jesus here, with my FRiends.
Happy Easter.

:-D

Undead Thread rule is that we're all on the same side, no matter how we phrase things!

If you understand the Trinity in the proper sense, then it is God's judgment on the Temple establishment. They had made laws in addition to Scripture and excluded the poor, sick, and outcast from salvation, in a sense.

All Jesus did, was to show us all that God exists, within each one of us, just as God existed within Him.

If God is in any man or woman, it is not their natural state.

"As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.'"

(Romans 3:10-18, New International Version)

How could you "offend" us when we are having a discussion about a subject we never approach here on the UT? It just so happens that it's today's "topic." At least, for a while!
