I'm still waiting for complete sentences and cogent
thoughts but I'm growing tired. I've tried for a long
time to communicate, but it's obviously futile. I wish
you all best with your one-liners that are apropos to
nothing and vaguely insulting - but to whom no one can
say because they are are directed towards no one specifically. Not to put too fine a point upon it, but you
are beginning to bore me. I truly wanted to communicate
but it is obvious that you would rather play your trivial
one-liner games and indulge in your phrases and grunts
rather than lucid communication.

indeed the Church wrote the Gospel and it is no more than a statement of faith (interpretation) about who Jesus was - In their interpretation he was not some historical Jew but a Christ (Messiah) of Faith. To a Christian existentialist INTERPRETATION IS THE KEY FAITH.

I think the concern he's expressing is, if I understand aright your words, the notion that the Gospel is the work of man ("the Church"). While I won't deign to speak for D Edmund, I would be interested to know if you would affirm the following in light of what you had said:

* Jesus Christ was a real, historical figure, fully human and fully Divine.
* Scripture is the Word of God, written through men guided by the Holy Ghost. Scripture does not merely contain the Word of God.
* There is a supernatural component to faith. IOW the Holy Spirit plays a role in illuminating the words of Scripture to the soul of the reader.

Ok, I'll make it real simple for you: Was Jesus God?
