Jesus, and...

There seem to be a lot of people who take a buffet-style approach to spirituality.  They like a little bit of Christianity, a little bit of Buddhism, etc.

The only problem with this is that Jesus made this impossible with what He said.


That might seem narrow-minded to some.  But when you're the 2nd person of the Trinity and God created everything through you, it makes sense that you would have a line on what is true.

God bless you.

I'll give you some examples of Jesus claiming to be God, but we need some background understanding first.  In Jewish law there are crimes punishable by stoning, but nobody could be put to death without a trial and the testimony of at least two witnesses. In John 8:31-59 Jesus is speaking to the Jews and he references Abraham.  The Jews prided themselves on being the "children of Abraham".
