What I mean is, Mankind evolves and God has put people within the world to teach the truth for the mentality of that time. Could it be then that Jesus was simply another important messenger that revealed the truth for the people of that time? There hasn't been anything revolutionary about his teachings, people had been PHYSICALLY sacrificing to God for a long time, Jesus was basically telling them that from now on the physical act of atonement had passed because Mankind had evolved enough to understand the purpose of sacrifice, to be aware of their sin and to show repentance for it. Also, when Jesus says "there is no way to the Father except through me" couldn't that be interpreted "there is no way to the Father except through the example of living that I have shown you", even through his death? I realize we need to remember Jesus for accepting God's purpose for his life and living according to God's will, his example showed us how primary that is, but should we be praying to him?

Messangers of God do not bring Salvation, they bring the message of the Salvation.
Jesus brought the actual salvation, so no he was not a "mere" messanger as we all can be, he was the message!

I too have seen these things that you are now saying and i too agree, it seems that people are worshiping Jesus and not God. some say that he is God and he alone.
It could not be that Jesus is the only way to God simply because a large mass of the population of the earth have never even heard about Jesus, and if that were true then they would all automatically go to hell, but everyone on the Plannet knows about God-even the arawaks did.
Jesus life is one of example and one we should follow, not Paul(thats another issue).
Hense If you dont love God and Treat your neighbours good then you have not found the way, the truth and the light.

I never pray to Jesus, I pray to God. I do believe he was a messenger, I think a lot of Jesus's life was left out of the Bible for what reason I don't know. But that is how I feel about it.

The carnal minded will in no way understand the recognize God. Pray for a religious ideas. Adam became the Lucifer. It became not an angel. anybody purely thinks that the cherub became an angel, yet no. it really is used interchangeably In Eze one and ten, because the ox. He became anointed through God, to be the masking or the guy who protects and teaches human beings of God. yet he rebelled and refused to do this. So God solid him our of Eden. Later God raised up yet another son, Jesus, and anointed him to be our religious masking. Now Jesus is the gentle. Adam, Lucifer, lost his gentle and went into darkness. Jesus is now the gentle of this international, and the superb and morning movie star. I answer fullyyt for the sake of those the following who may be honest with God. The seven eyes/horns, are the seven spirits of God. in case you examine the be conscious you could study a number of this stuff. except you regulate much you'll finally end up with the actual ghastly beasts and spirits. even with the undeniable fact that it really is surely not the Heavenly spirits which Jesus has. in this existence, there'll be the divisions because the persons of God are attacked through the persons of devil. those born after the flesh persecute those born after the Spirit. it really is in ordinary words what you're doing at present, persecuting Jesus. certain, In households the position some are Christians and others at the on the spot are not, there is that branch. it is going to proceed as lengthy and the tares and the wheat develop mutually. you spot the way you're hostile to those those who love truth and Jesus? it really is it. 2 can not walk mutually except they be agreed. a lot on your slandering immediately. you probably did not really make it!

Well, except for the fact that the other heavy-hitters declared that they were mere messengers. Jesus claimed to be the son of God, and Jehovah of the Old Testament.
No, we shouldn't be praying to him. We should be praying to the Father in His name, as He taught.

No, Jesus is the message. He is the way, the truth, and the life! "For there is none other name, under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12 Plain and simple, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are lost. No other belief/unbelief agenda or program will get you into heaven, period!

No, mankind does not 'evolve'. Jesus/Micheal is the Christ of God, His only begotten Son, from before the Creation, was our Propitiation, is our High Priest, and Will return to get us and to distort Satan, sinners, and this world.

biblical god is the biggest joke this world has ever seen

Yes he was great messenger, they all were. He was human- the physical part of him. His essence or "soul" was of a very divine order. But that may be said of all of us to some degree.
We have had many "masters" walk this earth. And as our opinion you can pray to anyone of them, or all of them or God, angels, its all the same.

There are a LOT of people that think that Jesus was just a Prophet and not the Messiah.
