Yeah, there's that. But it's just too pat for me. I don't know that we'll get to the bottom of it here, but it's interesting to toss it all back and forth and back . . . .

The RC Church has become the 'official' interpreter of stuff to do with Jesus. But read the Book of Martyrs, examine the Inquisition, and it's clear that whoever Jesus really was, he ain't that today.

Personally, I don't mind who believes what. My relationship with God doesn't really include Jesus, no offense. I've run the gamut of JC the Revolutionary, the God, the Son of God, the Nazarene, the Jew, the this and the that. God does it for me. I don't require a Trinity--which has almost become a quartet with the inclusion of Mary. The doctoring of the prophesy that deals with the arrival of the Messiah didn't fly with the Jews. They're still waiting. The Christian world figures he arrived once but it's the second arrival that will mean business. Beats me.
