--Will Christ keep you out of jail if you kill someone? Keep people from losing trust in you when you lie to them? Keep your spouse from leaving you when you cheat on her? Keep your body from deteriorating when you abuse it with drugs?

No. But He can heal the spiritual damage that causes a person to be so blind.




--Interestingly, most of the consequences that happen while we're alive are things that encourage us to generally be good people. And I would hope that if a god did exist, that it would be more concerned with us being good people than with us accepting it as our savior.

The God that I know wants us to love one another.
But since most of us have trouble getting past self love, He has provided a way.

...Which of course is exactly the opposite of what you said a few posts back.



I doubt we will agree on what I am saying.



I'm sorry but, the whole ongoing discussion aside, that's one of the funniest exchanges I've ever read on this forum.

was not meant to be an attack, was meant to be a civilized debate.
Oh BTW, that's how it works in science, asking questions is not considered "old unoriginal attack". If something is true it will stand up to any number of questions/litmus tests.

I never said you attacked anyone...

EDIT
I apologize...I think the problem is that I've been rather facetious lately...I will try to take this forum a little more seriously.

Yes, all of the above. I will have to admit referring to a sexless God as "he" is a failing in the english language. I was just following conventional grammatical usage. I would prefer a more accurate term. What would you suggest?

Well, we do have to remember that God is 33% male...


How do you figure that?



Beat's me. I had it figured a 61.8%

Well, a Y chromosome is about 1/2 the size of an X, so XY = 0.5XX which makes XY = 1/3 of the total. Simple algebra.

Assuming that the transfigured Christ is still male just as He was on Earth, I figured a third of the Trinity is still male...

If, we use the professor's method that figure would be even less...I think.

I got ya. I was thinking more along the lines of Gal 3:27 & 28 . "For all you who are baptized into Christ ... there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Read more carefully: that "you" applies to the Galatians, not to the god(dess).

But if the Galatians are one in Christ Jesus, they are what Christ is...and since the Galatians are neither male nor female, that must also apply to the Christ...but, I think one of the main points of the passage is to say that it really doesn't matter what you are rather than to identify the sex of God... because it really doesn't matter.

Christ is only 1/3 of the Trinity, as you have previously pointed out.

God definitely looks like a guy on the ceiling of the Cistine Chapel and in Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights

On the other hand...
