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.

No silly, I think we're done. You can't even address your "law" are not "laws" but "God died for our "LAWBREAKING" comment. Nothing else you say has any meaning to me. You want to exhalt your meaning of the Gospel on others, as if your interpretation of things is the only one, and frankly, that's why I don't associate myself with folk like you on this forum. My interpretation of the Gospel is not open for public consumption, hence you won't see me wear it on my sleeve from thread to thread. When you can step down off of your holy high horse you might have a chance to realize that you don't quite have the grasp you think you do. Trust me, we're done! Do have good day! Blackbird.
