Let’s make this simpler: Would you state, in your own words, the message of the Gospel? It will help give me a starting off point for you.

I see NO EVDENCE that you would understand any message of the Gospel. Please, explain to me where mear mortals would gain the ability to Crucify and kill God. JESUS died on the cross at the behest of God HIS FATHER to absolve me of my SINS. Seems to me, the simpler the message, the further over your head it goes. I'm no socon (and don't belittle those that are) but you certainly learned of the Gospel in a wholly different place than I did. Seek help in your failings to understand. Blackbird.

First of all, don’t worry about whether you think I would understand the Gospel or not, or where I learned it. I just need to hear you explain it in your words so our discussion is more meaningful.

Regarding Jesus/God: There is one God, and he exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is completely God. This is known as the trinity. Jesus is God incarnate (”in the flesh”). It was very hard, even impossible, for Jews to accept this. They were taught never to worship a created thing. When Jesus accepted the worship of others, he outraged the Jewish religious leaders. He was a popular teacher (a rabbi) who attracted large crowds. People did worship him, but any ordinary rabbi would have been obligated to tell them to stop, and refuse to accept worship. Jesus just stood there and took it.

This is Christianity 101. Go ask your priest or pastor about it, then come talk to me. Meanwhile, outline your own view of the Gospel, and we can have a frame of reference for comparing our views.
