was jesus god

let us assume that there was a jew named jesus…this guy was preaching to others…was he a god

I don’t think so.

Was he a son of God. Yes, we are all children of God.

when you say son of god what does that mean

Is it a complex idea?

well yeah…your words have special meaning…what does son of god imply

Progeny of God. Product of the divine will.

A child is to a parent, as a man/woman is to God.

I believe that any special reference to jesus as being special to god destroys his major message

If Jesus did not understand the relationship between God and man better than the average man, then he would not have anything important to say.
Therefore, he is special in at least that sense.

All wise people are special.

phyllo----is god a person

A person has specific features and limitations … such as gender, death, pain, fear, etc … which do not apply to God. Therefore, God is not a person.

Although to be honest, what does one know about God? … maybe He does feel pain and fear and maybe He dies. It would not be on the same scale as what happens to a human.

I think what we see about god is really ancestor worship I different clothing…we have always worshipped our ancestors…mommy and daddy saved us from death

God created death. We are designed to die.

what does that mean

Nature, God, reality … intend for you to die.

how about nature/reality has death included…can we now leave god out of the equation

Okay, if that makes you feel better. :smiley:

does it make you feel better

Since I think that God is within nature/reality, leaving Him out is purely a tool of discussion. It doesn’t make me feel any particular way.

can you describe the nature of your god in words…

No.
The god that can be told is not the eternal God. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real.
