Well, most of the teachings in the Bible are live teachings that is helpful in our everyday lives, so when a teaching comes true so to say we love Him for that reason, but not that reason alone, love is something that is more than it's parts I guess.:shrug:
How do you love someone you have never met?
So do you just love the 'idea' of Jesus?
The vast majority of Christians...
Are not.
If you define Christi8an as someone who follows the teachings of Jesus, I can't recall ever meeting a Christian.
If you define a Christian as someone who follows modern ideas that define Christianity, I don't think Jesus would be a Christian.
jesus would convert to buddhism.
peace.
'Annointed' in ancient Hebrew tradition simply means marking the high priest or the king with fragrant oils...usually Balsam Oil, as part of their initiation.one_raven has a good point here, Christ means "the annointed one", like Buddha means "the enlightened one".
Sure, thats because most of those modern ideas are derived from Paul, not Jesus.If you define a Christian as someone who follows modern ideas that define Christianity, I don't think Jesus would be a Christian.
