If Steven can see how his relationship with Jesus helped him grow closer to God and his Torah, even though it turns out that "Jesus" is a chimera, it should help him and the others like him to understand how a True God can use what light of truth is in a culture for His own means.

To put it another way, Steven, by trying to eschew the pagan and find the pure God has discovered that even our Jesus is a pagan accretion. And ironically, a relationship with this pagan god led him to the True God.

Um Dave, Jesus IS the True God. You cannot reject A and believe A at the same time.

Is this where Vatican II has brought the RCC? When a pretty faithful RC can see no real big deal about a guy leaving Christ, and actually defend the person's decision.

This is what happens when you say that the Jewish people are in a saving Covenant and have no need of Jesus.
