My uncle the bishop used “well if Jesus were beat to death with a shoe, would you wear a shoe around your neck”.
Next time I saw him I had put a Barbie shoe on a chain and had it around my neck, he was not amused.
You are correct, the draw of godhood is great (just ask Eve), and it is a shell of defiance difficult to break.

My reply always was that it's not how Yashua died but that He died so that we may live. Some Christians have the cross with Christ on it, the one I wear is blank. He arose, the cross is empty.
