HUH? Ok Aron/alan/unregistered user....'splain your thought process a little more please. (You can bet I'll be adding my.02 worth shortly!

that I hope will never be crushed, let go, or contaminated, or bypassed.

Don't you believe JESUS is GOD? There is no contamination in Him. You know that! Are you pulling our legs and just funnin' with us ?

What He represents is the best hope for both me and all of humanity, all of creation, even. I have never seen an idea like Jesus Christ the Nazarene.

You know I'm getting ready to bonk you over the head ! I'm going to find out what kool aid you've been drinking from and I'm going to personally go and take it away from you..and de-tox you with some LIVING WATER from the River of LIFE. On second thought, I think I'll just DUNK you into the RIVER of LIFE...looks like you could use a good washing! Then I'll snatch some fruit off the TREE of LIFE for you to munch on and pour you a glass of that LIVING WATER for you to drink with as you eat the fruit.

You may say, But He's a Person, not an idea. Yes, well even if he were an idea, I would believe. Because this universe has never, and will never, offer me anything as good as what He represents.

What are you babbling about ? First you say He's an idea to you and then you say IF He were an idea, you would believe ??
NEVER MIND. DON'T answer that ! Just stop drinking that kool aid will ya!

"God loved us and sent His Son." Somebody top that idea, please.

GOD STILL loves us...and always will. Now STOP drinking that koolaid !! Don't go making JESUS something He's NOT. You know very well HE is not an idea! He is the WORD of God but not an idea! I don't know about you but I ain't marrying no idea! And if you come back and say "you're marrying the WORD of God?? I will reply and say YES because the WORD BECAME FLESH ! He is going to be our Bridegroom very soon....maybe not YOUR Bridegroom if you keep talkin' like that!
Sheesh!

Ok...I don't know why you are pulling our chains here...but hopefully you are simply jesting with us...to get us riled up. 'Cause if you're NOT, you are grieving the Holy Spirit and you do not want to do that. Neither do you want the Lord Jesus to REBUKE you as He rebuked the Pharasees and the way He rebuked Peter. You don't want to be like John the apostle when he was in Patmos writing the Revelation of Jesus Christ God (the FATHER) was giving him to write....that when he saw JESUS, John fell at HIS feet as if he was dead.

I'll stop here. I have more...but it's Your turn...IF you dare!
