[QUOTE="harsimiritkaur, post: 21054, member: 1661"] I still don't think Jesus called himself God. Why do you believe every letter in the New Testament is God's word letter by letter? The Council of Nicea decided it. When the writers wrote their accounts of the life of Jesus, they were interpreting what happened. Now each gospel has its own unique account and style. I don't think they had in mind that their writings would be part of a book called, "New Testament." There were synoptics and epistles of writers who were inspired to write, because they were touched by the experiencing or learning what happened during his time. If any early Christians literally believed Jesus called himself God, then they must not have understood the Hebrew scriptures. I was not there to hear what Jesus said, and I am not going to believe it because it is written in a book that was canonized by politicians posing to be true Christians. I am not saying that New Testament writers were not inspired by God. I just think that their interpretations are stressed. If we say Jesus is God, then God has limits. I say that the spririt of God was in Jesus. "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth" Surely Jesus was not talking about himself when he addressed the Samaritan woman at the well. What is the meaning of "God is spirit?" To me it means that the concept of God cannot be compared to physical things, because the physical perspectives that we sense are incomplete. Everything is made up of a bunch of invisible vibrations. The word became flesh. What is flesh, but also these visible vibrations when it is magnified millions of times. All is a product of God's hukam. Everything that happens follows the natural laws of the universe. All is because of the power and grace of God. Jesus totally submitted to God's hukam and did not see himself separate from God, because he agreed with everything about God. He did not become sucker to the tempations of Satan prior to his ministry. Some people react to something great or exquiste like a rare orchard, and they say, "This is God." Not that the flower is literally God, but they are in awe of the handiworks of God. Why are you so caught up on the deity of God? Do you think people will burn in Hell if they accept Jesus as savior, but not literally as God? If you do, then you are an extremist. Jesus did not trouble by condeming people who did not call him God. This kind of forcing deity belief is typical of Spanish Inquisition indoctrination. The main theme in the Bible is not whether or not Jesus is God, but on the grace of God on behalf of man. We can not bribe God, we can not pay ourselves for His grace, because His grace is unconditional,eternal love. If we don't want it, then we are hurting ourselves. But some Christians believe that God choses who will accept Him, and who will not - predestination.
