"It’s always personal with you catholics, isn’t it?"

You strike me as a Pharisee, the kind of person Jesus condemned. You think you have all the answers, you are smug, you think your so-called "faith" exonerates you from actually doing anything to help the poor and suffering, who you probably condemn as sinners who deserve to go to hell. Frankly, I dont think you understand Jesus at all.

Plus, you are a liar. You said no one addressed any of your issues; I did. I asked how it was possible for Jesus to experience separation from God if he himself was God. I asked how God could think that he was forsaken by God. I asked why Jesus said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." You had no reply.

And No, I did not accuse anyone of not addressing my issues. I said that no one seems to be able to give a yes/no answer on this thread. I didn't say nobody answered my questions. They answered my yes/no questions in roundabout ways, without giving a straight yes/no answer. Ok, I admit they were tough questions.

Generally when a yes/no question is asked, a yes/no response is indicated.

I asked how it was possible for Jesus to experience separation from God if he himself was God. I asked how God could think that he was forsaken by God.... You had no reply.

You did not address that question to me. You addressed it to HarleyD.

I asked why Jesus said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." ...You had no reply.

That "question" was a rhetorical statement addressed to Running on Empty. It was not addressed to me. Therefore I was not compelled to answer

Plus, you are a liar.

Would you like to retract that accusation?

Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal.
