"I think it's a defining question, for a Christian, 'who was Christ?' And I don't think you're let off, easily, by saying 'a great thinker' or 'a great philosopher' or, you know, actually he went round saying he was the messiah. That's why he was crucified. He was crucified because he said he was the Son of God. So he either was, in my view, the Son of God or he was...nuts."You'll note that he was asked twice (see 00:10 and 00:22) about whether Jesus was God. IMO he dodges the question both times.
I don't know if he "dodged" it - he was asked very pointedly "Whom or what do you pray to?" and he answered very succinctly "Christ." Christ said He and the Father were one.
There was a thread here a couple of months ago about Roma Downey and her movie "Son of God."
She was asked who Jesus was, and she responded "The Son of God." I would have answered "He is Lord and Savior" - because He is.
Perhaps it is a Catholic/Evangelical difference - (I am a former Catholic who is now an Evangelical). But, I must say this: I found Bono's answer to be genuine and in the affirmative. He also said that the person of Jesus Christ was his way to God. That is scripturally correct, and is exactly what Christ declared.
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
At the end : He was asked if he believes Jesus rose from the dead and he said yes. He was asked if he prays to Jesus and made promises that will come true and he said yes.
Are you saying you think its possible he thinks Jesus is all but the Son of God or that he is insincere and dodging? I’m not trying to argue, just asking what you you thinking about it.
No, he didn’t dodge the question; he said clearly in answer to the question “You believe he is devine?” “Yes!”
He clearly and distinctly says he prays to Jesus and believes in what Jesus proclaimed... very clearly... I listened to this three times and every time he proclaims Jesus as truth.
