After the fall of Adam, God used his Son to be the second Adam........another way to obtain power from the evil one.
I don't understand your question fully here, perhaps you can expound.
Many think the Jewish people killed Christ..........the Romans are responsible for this death.
Great observation. I asked myself these questions as well.
Several reasons on how He became important:
King Herod slayed many infants because of the star prophecies predicting the Messiah's birth. He was controversial from the get-go. He became important because of the controversy He created with other Jewish leaders, and the miracles He performed that caused others to talk about Him, and through His disciples who preached His message throught the Mediterranean. |
Part of the problem arising in disagreement between Christians and non Christians, is some have a broader understanding of history than others. When most people believed in many Gods, they had patron gods who protected them from others. This belief system is in fact what the God of Abraham is about. The God of Abraham served the Jews and no others. The God of Abraham was a war God protecting Jews and enabling them to take land from others. Okay- follow? People believed the people with the most powerful God won wars. This must be understood to understand the significants of this event in history that changed the world.

Dee Dee, remember I said Christians believe what they believe because of culture. You argued you have studied other religions and don't attend a church, and your arguement, along with what you don't know, is the best proof of how the US is so dominated by Christianity, Christianity is so much a part of US culture, that people are blindly following the religion. You explained everything with the Christians culture explanation, which is far from having an understanding of the history how of Christianity became the religion it is today. It wasn't Supernatural power that made Christianity the religion it is today, but human action.
I challenge all non Christians to support you Dee Dee, because she sure should not be in these arguments alone. I admire Dee Dee for hanging in here and giving the best arguments she can. She appears to have more courage and spirit than others. Strong Christians should be standing with Dee Dee. Don't abandon her!
On the other hand, I want to admonish non Christians, including myself, to be more tactful and stop driving Christians out of these arguments with thoughtless and sometimes even cruel statements attacking the character of others. WHEN WE WANT REASON, WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOT INSITE EMOTION! GET IT STARBOY AND OTHERS? STOP SAYING THINGS THAT TRIGER PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS AND STICK WITH GOOD REASONING.
