Steve, I think you do understand the point but dont want to agree so.
What i m talking about is not a simple utterance of despair neither I m struggling. What i m talking about is the fundamental of belief on which u should base all your religious course and actions. It is all about who you should worship. And this is not what you have been calling as minor, or simple...etc. This is The Core of Interest here. Who should you worship. Allah alone who has full control, who makes unilateral decisions, who Manages the whole universe all by Himself and never feel Tired, (may Allah forgive me). Or God who is part of 3, yet one of the other parts seems helpless, not part of making decisions. Leave alone that Jesus himself was calling on Ili ili, in other words, he is calling on the one he himself worships. Is this minor? I dont think so.
About Jesus being an example, he certainly was, so was all the Prophets and Messengers. The story is rich, sure and certain is extremly rich. Much lessons, countless lessons are derived therein.
Quote:It was never not clear, for me. It is you who are struggling.
<b>But to hang all your interpretations on a simple utterance of despair is to miss the forest for the tree</b>. Do we not all despair? Do we not suffer the more, the more good we do? There are a great many things to learn from the Crucifixion, <b>yet you come away saying that Jesus was not the Son of God, which is the same claim as those who crucified Him.</b>
<b>That is not the company I would desire to be in, personally.</b>
Thank you for this
It is my opinion that ideas rule the world. I choose the ideas I believe carefully.
