Agreement w/ mlsoft and deadbeet re: Christ as God - no need to repeat the scripture listed.
Jesus' words in the bible really are that simple and conclusive. That's why it's hard for us Christians to see how others disparage us as intolerant or hateful. We simply take Jesus at His word.
If others disagree, their argument is with Jesus, not with His followers. What can a true Christian do other than agree with Christ? To disagree with Him would be un-Christian, by definition.
When you break the big laws, you do not get freedom; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws.
