The whole concept of a personal relationship shakes out for most Christians is a sick fantasy. A make believe friend who justifies ones engaging in the seven deadly sins; lots of talk but no walking the walk.
By their works you will know them. Jesus isn't working. Neither is Mohamed or Moses.
Most of the strife in the world today comes from those three religions that are wholly owned subsidiaries of international corporate capitalism.
It is too bad that the "Jesus" brand was co-opted early on by the Roman government under Emperor Constantine and and peddled by succeeding governments to keep the masses under control.
No, I don't believe that gospel. One of the main reasons is the Jesus fans and their demonstrably poor record on things like social justice, humility, caring for the needy, loving others. If Jesus has a relationship with Jerry Fallwell and Pat Robertson, I'd rather not because they are doing what Jesus says is proper.

I don't want to have a relationship with Jesus. I respect him, but I don't believe that "having a relationship with Jesus" will help me in any way. Perhaps it's because I don't believe he is God. In which case, I would most rather have a relationship with God.

You mean do I believe you, because you are the one saying it, not Jesus. I don't believe you because I have no reason to and every reason to believe Jesus is dead. How can a dead man want a relationship with me?

Well, he never calls me after he said he would. I mean, sure, he paid for dinner, but I didn't *have* to put out. I simply wanted to.
And now he doesn't call and claims he loves me and wants a relationship? I've heard that before. Go peddle that elsewhere, Jesus.
You did mean Jesus Gonzalez, right? He's a total playa.

No more so than I believe President Bush loves me and wants to have a relationship with me.

yes. i would also like to add that he is real and died so our sins can be washed away with his blood and be made perfect again after repenting from our sins, and that who ever thinks he is not real is under the influence of Satan who is trying to keep them ignorant so they will be cut off at the end when they die as he does with so many other people. It's manifested in them that they know Jesus exists but they deny it. Sadly if they deny him for the rest of their life they will see jesus in heaven on his throne and he will say " I never knew you" and they will be doomed.

What relationship? Christianity?... Be of one God?... Does opening your eyes into the Kingdom of God, a making of relationship to you? Jesus hated hypocrisy!
Guidance unto the Kingdom of God is the main virtue, not the glorification of oneself, as he had suffered in the hands of the Roman Soldiers through the interventions of the Jewish Parishes and Pontius Pilates washes his hands on this events.
Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ and my faith in God with him.

I believe Jesus as far as I can throw him.
Which would probably be a rather long distance at this point.
Because he's dead, and staying that way.
