So, the short answer is no. That is, you don't have any scripture that supports your claim that God came down to earth to be crucified.Secret Alias wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 8:19 am
So you [John T] think that if don't provide Jesus recorded as saying "I am a god who has come down from heaven to be crucified" my point is disproved! The point is that the gospel of John and the Pauline epistles contain clear evidence that the narrative was taken to be about this. But you have such a facile understanding of Christianity that you suppose that Jesus 'is really speaking' in the gospel rather than an author determining what he will reveal about this character to his audience. ...
Let's flip the coin over and see if you can understand how arrogant and offensive to others that your pseudo-knowledge about Christianity comes across in your o.p.
Now, if I was to start an o.p. that made a wild false assumption that the basic tenant of Isam is founded on Allah committing suicide, you would be in the perfect right to say and then demand I cite scripture from the Koran to support such a foul claim.
Yet, I'm the bad guy for asking you (anyone for that matter) to cite an example?
