Why Do People Keep Thinking that Jesus Was Better than Any Other Human?

[Falconer02]

If God were to rip each and every shred of evil from this world,Falconer,you wouldn't be here.

Unless you and I gained supernatural abilities to see if we existed w/o common evils, you cannot state something like this. Butterfly effect. Besides, the concept and aspects of evil change throughout history, so this statement seems anti-Heuristic and only would lead to pointless speculation.

I don't know why Free Will is such a difficult concept for some.

Actually I could easily argue that free will is probably the most difficult philosophical concept to grasp and has been for centuries! I appreciate the researched bible quote, but from reading it, it only gives a very simplistic example of black-or-white thinking and does not really apply to free will that much. It mentions very few factors in play and leaves many questionable gaps, whereas the whole concept of free will has to do with an immense amount of factors being present and how (or if) that effects the individuals judgement in the end.

I am glad to be alive.I dont wanna die.Death is an enemy of man.

I am too! I don't want to die, but I realize and accept that it is inevitable. I don't look at death as being an enemy- I look at it as a return to what I was before I existed. And for me to say I know what I was before and will be after my life would be asinine. I only wish others would cope with the potential truth and have the same respect for each individual instead of claiming they know what happens after they've died.

Even if i question Jehovah.....i know in the long haul obeying HIM is for the benefit of us if we want to live.I am human i realize and also a sinner.Leaning on our own understanding doesnt benefit us....To earthling man his way does not belong says scripture in Jeremiah.

I realize that mankind has a rough history, but imo there's no reason to squander your existence hoping for a better life after this one (unless the idea comforts you).

So you look forward to being dust..eh Falconer?

I hope theres no vacuum cleaners or Endust in your next life!!

Well,mythociate,I guess there's nothing left to say at this point.

All biblical misconceptions begin when one answers this question wrong: Jesus asked "Who do you say that I am?"

Since you have acknowledged YOUR Jesus to be a deceiving trickster,not preforming actual wonders,not born of a virgin,not the fulfillment of prophesy (I'm afraid to ask what you perception of the Resurrection is.Since you seem to have a strong streak of Naturalism in you,I'm willing to guess it won't match the biblical account) and not the only begotten Son of God,you DO NOT have the Jesus of the Bible.I truly hope you someday embrace the Christ of the bible.

'We do not die, but sleep' (I think the Bible says somewhere)---of course, that excludes those of us who are cremated or otherwise destroyed upon 'passing away'. Death is totally 'evitable,' but life after death is a painful-painful chore (at least while one is healing from the effects of the "death" )

And--speaking of -- ... ( ) ...

What you call "misconceptions" I call 'different conceptions' I don't think I stated He 'didn't do those things' (although I'm sure if you squint your eyes & turn your head funny I DID say that ... you could also say that JESUS HIMSELF said that, saying "I do nothing of myself ...") ... I think I'm saying that He's not THE ONLY ONE. Maybe He was first, but only so His disciples could follow after Him.

I don't look forward to death. I'm just realistic and accept that it's going to happen! I only worry about getting resurrected by some evil company in the future and being a worker-drone like the Stalkers in Halflife 2! lol

So, what has that to do with thee?

you have some praying to do mr....if you think for one minute that god is not real and just another man maybe you should pray and ask for the truth,  remember if you ask you shall receive...best of luck to you.

Small minds confine God to either exist or not exist. Why can't He do both? I'll tell you why: because you can't imagine Him doing both And "if you ask you shall receive"? Not quite. You remember that He was saying this to His inner circle, the ones whom He had trained to go with Our Father's plan. If THEY ask, they're probably asking along the lines of God's plan. If WE ask, there's a 359/360-chance that "we ask amiss!"

I do not know if people thought that Jesus was better than other humans, but I know that he was more knowledgeable.
