Disect this....?

Question

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

I know this is a theological question...I just wish to obtain the thoughts of those outside the theological area.

Answer 1

when god gave us jesus it was his only son! he died for the sins of the world! when you take jesus into your heart even if you die you are given eternal life!

Answer 2

An explanation of something they didn't fully understand. The apostles friend a relative nobody who heard voices and was otherwise mentally ill got executed by the State for being a pain in the *** just like about 1,000 others on that day.

Now Jesus is a dead Jewish Schizophrenic who never actually wrote anything for himself who made ridiculous claims that the Jewish sub state of thee Roman Empire rejected because they didn't add up .

His popularity grows after his death and the Romans adopt the new religion - There is a historical curtain drawn on the how's and where's in about the 1st century .

The Jewish content (that was so heavy in Paul's writings) was being minimized in order to make the Christian religion less offensive and easier to blend into the heavily pagan nations they were conquering. Concision after concession lead to Christmas and Valentines day etc. So the Jewish religion strangely gets carried off by Jesus and Paul and then is reinvented and married off to the Celtic pagan and druid religions to have almost all of the regionally significant festivals go on intact.

The statements of "god" are just as poetic as the statemts as Lord Alfred Tennison or Shakespeare. We were lucky enough to have people gifted with a pen to give us a representation of our consious grasp of reality the way they do . It shows some progression and some stagnation on our ability to concieve and what does and does not motivate us

Answer 3

Take this to theology. This is for politics.
