The topic is whodey's feeling that the "uniqueness of Christ" means something beyond his own feelings and beliefs. whodey's admiration doesn't add any weight to the credibility of Christianity. There is also the 'uniqueness of Hinduism', for instance, but it doesn't add any weight to the credibility of Hinduism.

But you being a Christian does not make the hypothetical "false", no matter how sincere and strident you are about your religion.
I understood it just fine. You presented a false hypothetical, I sought to educate you on why it was false, and you got scared and started whizzing in the pool.

Originally posted by @fmfI never claimed my being a Christian made the hypothetical false.

The evidence for Christ’s Resurrection makes the hypothetical false.

Are you suggesting the Gospel writers were not accurate in their representations and quotations of Jesus?
You neither hear nor understand what He is saying.

Originally posted by @fmfI was merely pointing out that your hypotheticals are useless without supporting evidence. If you have evidence to suggest that Christianity is false and that another religion is true feel free to present it.

Did God intend/want Jews to follow the Mosaic Law?

Let me guess, you are the only one that hears and understands, and everyone else is wrong in their interpretations?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerStart a thread about it. There is no religion that I seek to suggest is "true", but there may be people here who want to discuss it with you.
