So, if we are Christians, this is what we have to take on board.

I protested your post in
red above, specifically the statement, "
If Jesus is really human, he can't be God." I disagree with this statement wholeheartedly. It is at the core of my belief system. Regardless of how much this contradicts all intelligent "rational," it is nevertheless true:
Jesus is both God and man. This is a major item of the "common faith."
Isaiah 43:11-12 confirms this. Jehovah the Lord who spoke this is Jesus Christ our Savior. Isaiah and Israel were "witnesses" much the same way as the disciples who walked the earth with Jesus the Lord.
Dear
Zeek, in my posts I am really not trying to persuade you to change your beliefs. I am only posting what I know to be the truth of the Bible. I let the readers decide what they choose to believe.
