Christianity

[MasterAdnin]

I was discussing Christianity with my friend when he gave me an idea, and although I have no proof to support it, I will say it and then you guys tell me what you think.

Could the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost be referring to the Father being God, the Son being Humanity as a whole, and the Holy Ghost being our souls?

no, it couldn't be

im sorry but that theology doesn't make much sense

[Dayman]

im sorry but that theology doesn't make much sense

Theology doesn't make sense in general.

Why are we still talking about this, I wonder? Not to be rude but all that's going to happen is an endless circle of the religious attacking the non-religious and vice versa until someone steps up and ***** smacks someone else.

Christianity is not the religion of Father-God, Son-Humanity but of Father-Father and Son-Son.

Rather Judaism is the religion of the Father and Christianity is the religion of the Son, where Father and Son represent simply the different aspects of Masculine identity, growth, maturity and psychological relationships between Father and Son.

Indeed Christianity is the first Abrahamic religion since whatever happened within Judaism millenia ago, to actively invoke a mother figure as a central aspect of worship and theology. All that Greek philosophy made us soft.

Would the early church be called a religion?

I'm talking right after Jesus ascended to Heaven, when all the people who called themselves Christians because they knew Christ, and they didn't have traditions or laws or anything, rather they all knew God Himself and had experienced Him. This would be before the roman catholic church, the orthodox church etc.

Before the letters written in the new testament had been idolized, and they were just letters with truth written in them. (I don't hold the Bible to be more important than God, and I certainly don't worship it. Don't get me wrong though, I do believe it is truth).

I can identify most with this early church since I'm not religious. I don't condemn religious people though, because religion really doesn't matter. If they know God, they know God. If they don't, they don't. If they call themselves a catholic, or have been baptised as a protestant, will mean nothing.

adnin I think you have the christian concept of trinity exactly, why jesus is called the son of man, and noah in the book of enoch called also the son of man.-- I think the father is obviously the "great spirit" or the unspeakable supreme one, the ineffable-- the soul itself to me is the part of god we carry by gods command--- I dont know how the holy ghost is mentioned in that aspect, but the concept of the holy ghost does easily fit into the idea of the "soul"; as far as I understand the holy ghost is a messenger in many ways for the father and the son--- but obviously I could be wrong.

[Mansa musa]

makes sense

[movemove]

hmm, might have to agree with you, I mean god was the father of christ?
and christ was mean to die for mans sins, which basically means he is a representative of man and I am not too sure about the last one though...

[Roman Knight]

I have considered this before, and I thought of it as an example of a perfect person, with a combination of the perfect mind, body and soul that all Christians have to live up to.

The only example I could find was rather ambiguous, that the disciples had believed in god (the mind) followed Jesus (the body) and when god sent down the holy spirit, they were complete and went to preach to the world.

Quasi. I would suggest that in a gnostic/non-heretical interpretation, only the partial identity between the Son of God and the Son of Man can be upheld.

God is God, man is only a part of God, if submissive to God's will.

[Zenith Darksea]

why jesus is called the son of man

Because He has a human mother.

Sorry guys, but if you're going to speculate on an aspect Christian theology, then you should take it within the context of the rest of Christian theology as well. And this new idea is not a part of Christian theology!

Depends on how you interpret the bible.

[Ummon]

Yes, legal sentences are based on how the judge interprets murder as well.

Some things are more generally accepted than others, but Christianity is split up into many sects because of interpretation of the bible.

[Ummon]

Which means that the interpretation of the Bible quite simply, is a very significant issue, and that by necessity, although contradiction will not surely be a criterion to adjudicate which ones, some hermeneutics may be incorrect.

Who's to say who is correct and who isn't?

[mocker]

Who's to say who is correct and who isn't?

That's easy. Every single Christian on earth will claim that, at least thinking so.

Everyone from Marlboro bandy church to the Orthodox.

Logically, the only answer to this would be that they're all wrong.

[Ummon]

By necessity, someone will be more correct than others, and he may as well correct them.
