Dude, I'm beginning to realize you probably don't understand the point of Christ coming to earth.

Again, here is your answer:

Greetings, aMorePerfectUnion -

I’m not sure if we have ever conversed with each other. If we have, it has not been recently and I do not remember. So I’m not sure how you would have any idea what I do or do not understand about Christ. In trying to understand Christ, I do so with a great deal of humility, keeping in mind the words of the prophet Isaiah that as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high is the mind of God and the ways of God. I also remember the words of Paul that, at present, we know partially and we see indistinctly, as in a mirror.

As far as why Jesus came to earth, I believe it starts with love. His love for us and His desire for us to love Him. Of course we all know the point was to sacrifice Himself on the cross to redeem us from our sins so that we may have eternal salvation.

I have no idea why you refuse to share the manner in which you practice your faith. I don’t mind sharing how I worship God. I think it helps us get to know each other better. But if you are reluctant to do so, that’s fine. Whether it be at a church, or a gospel hall, or in your home, as long as you gather with other(s) in the name of Jesus with love for God and for your neighbor in your heart, it is pleasing to God.

May the Peace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you.
Rich
