So Christians really only need follow their own book.
They don't, that is exactly the point. They are hypocrites.

Ask a cop what happens when you ask multiple witnesses to recount a series of events. You think that people who have varying political opinions will have consistent beliefs?
This is the sort of thing I was telling you about. This bizarre lack of logic you have started displaying lately.
Mr. Hamtastic
swarm-interesting link. Did you notice that the site refutes the heresies point by point as well?
You have to believe Jesus was the son of God or you aren't a Christian. There can be no variations on this point.
Q tends to start ranting about God being the authority and that Christians must listen to God. (perhaps in a past life Q was a Fire and Brimstone preacher, who knows) These non-fundamentalists do not disagree, but they do not think it is as easy as Q seems to think it is to know what God wants and has 'said'. Thus they feel there is a process via prayer and contemplation and perhaps discussions with other Christians and listening to experts – whom they choose from amongst the wide variety of churches out there.
True fundamentalists know that the bible is God's word. So our faith is in God not in theologians or other people to tell us what God said.
No, you ignorant arrogant jerk. The vast majority of secularists care what happens to people, including homosexuals, much more than theists who care much more about whatever they imagine god says. Naturally they don't go around trying to prevent homosexuals from going to hell because there's no evidence of hell.
The Bible is the produce of several telephone games. But I am glad you are here. You are what Q would call a true Christian and thus someone he is afraid of and has problems with. It would be good if you two could work on your differences.Actually, the only "Christians" who use this process don't believe or understand the bible by themselves. So they play "telephone" and ask someone else what God said, who asks someone else what God said etc. until God's message is so unrecognizable that it has nothing to do with the bible.
You do realize that before they died the writer's of the Bible were human, in fact, essentially, they were theologians. Dead theologians become God seems to be a common theory. It is held by many people around political issues also. That old adage that a Conservative worships a dead radical is an irony that seems to escape far too many people.True fundamentalists know that the bible is God's word. So our faith is in God not in theologians or other people to tell us what God said.
Love is an easy word to use. Many people are blissfully unaware of how little the word relates to their vibe.And no true Christian hates homosexuals. Inf act we love them much more than the secular world does because we want them to go to heaven. The secular world could care less whether or not homosexuals go to hell. Unfortunately, the eternal souls of homosexuals don't matter one bit to most people.
You are confusing a thought in your head with an emotion.Since your way of caring about homosexuals is the same way that people who give alcoholics a drink care about alcoholics, then you're sending them right to everlasting death on the quickest way possible for them.

If you are saying he is the son of God in the same way that we are all children of God and not special in any way, then I would agree.
If you are implying that in a sense that Jesus is the divine offspring of God... I will call bullshit.
Which is it?
You have to believe Jesus is/was the actual son of God, he is divine, part of the holy trinity "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit".
