That is a grandiose statement considering that we only have a working knowledge of about 5% of the matter and energy in the universe and that we have no idea what may exist in the other billions of galaxiesThe earth is the greatest material object in the universe (it's the 'apple' of God's eye). Sadly, most people are not worthy of it.
Until something greater is discovered earth is the greatest.That is a grandiose statement considering that we only have a working knowledge of about 5% of the matter and energy in the universe and that we have no idea what may exist in the other billions of galaxies

Let's keep in mind what it is Jews reject and why.most Jews rejected him, and still do.
God does not curse any of us. What we are always seeing is the goodness of God's creation. Every so often each one of us--or we as a group--go off track as humans do. We bring consequences on ourselves, just as we would bring the consequences of gravity upon ourselves if we should run off a cliff. God has always been there to help us back up, help us right what we did wrong, and then continue on. God's blessings are always available.The Jews are under God's curse,
Not by percentages. Did a crazed Christian hater kill half of all Christians just a couple of generations ago?Dear Lisa,
More Christians are killed for their faith than are Jews (it's not funny).
Thanks for responding. My response has already been posted in post #11. Basically, I argue that Christ is the God of the Old Testament and because of that, true Christianity has really existed since the days of Adam and Eve. When Moses went into the mount to receive the law of God, he came down and found the Israelites had created a golden calf and were worshipping it. He then broke the tables he received and latter went back into the mount to speak to God where he received a lesser law and lesser priesthood for the Israelites to follow. From that time to the days of John the Baptist, the higher law was not found upon the earth. The tribe of Judah who remained over these many years were steeped in the law of Moses and did not have the higher priesthood which had the power of giving the gift of the Holy ghost. So the law of the gospel was written on tablets of stone until Jesus came and then they were written on the tablets of the heart. So, before the days of Moses, there were times when a higher priesthood was had upon the earth and that it all came through the God of the Old Testament which was Jesus Christ. Thus Christianity, though not called by that name, is believed by me to have come before Judaism.
Mr. One It might interest you to know that muslims teach that the KORAN preceded the NT
and the OT ------and both are perversions of the ORIGINAL (I learned that in a mosque)
Judaism began with the sect of the Pharisees about 150 years before Christ. Jesus kept the Law but never practiced Judaism and condemned the Pharisees for practicing it.
Judaism: Making up the "law" out of whole cloth. It's called Midrash.
Belief without 'proof': Faith
Ya gotta have faith in something. Might as well have it in something greater than what is here on earth.
Jesus is thought to have two natures: Divine and human. True human nature cannot contain all that is divine...one would have to leave the capsule of humanity behind. Of course, that does not answer the follow-up question we had as young teens in religion class: Couldn't Jesus have just asked the Father if he, in human form, didn't know? After all, he prayed to God all the time in order to perform miracles.The problem that I have with Jesus and God being one and the same is that when Jesus was asked when He would return, He said that He didn't know, as only The Father (God) knew the answer to that question. So..............if Jesus and God were one and the same, why did Jesus say that He didn't know when He'd return, only God knew the answer to that?
This is the only place that God made for us. Yea Earth!Still a pretty grandiose statement considering how little we know about the universe.
Isn't that kind of pride a sin?
He was born to be a king, and he will be at his second coming.Jesus never was an earthly ruler and never wished to be.

So much mystery...and heaven's answers hidden from our sight. Perhaps for our own good.
Not what I said. Reread that post.Not by percentages. Did a crazed Christian hater kill half of all Christians just a couple of generations ago?
If you’re going to claim that Christians have been more persecuted than Jews, you’ll be laughed out of the building.
What’s truly amazing is that despite the horrific bigotry, Jews still rise to the top.
Jesus Christ is the only pathway to God, according to the Christian Bible.A friend of mine described the difference between belief and faith quite nicely once.................
He said that if I see an advertisement for a product (say......laundry detergent) that promises me to get my laundry the cleanest it's ever been, and I decide to go and buy it based on the advertisement, never having used it before............that's "faith". I have faith that the advertisement told me the truth, even though I never used it before.
But....................after I buy the detergent, use it, and see that it gets my clothes cleaner than the stuff I was using before, then when I go back to the store for the same detergent, I'm not going there on faith, now I'm going there on belief because I've actually verified that it works for me.
If it doesn't, then I know the ad lied to me, and I will never believe their advertisement again.
Same with religion. Someone tells me that their belief system will work for me because it's done wonders for them, then I go ahead and try it to see if it works for me. If it does, then I now have belief in that particular system because I have proof in my own life. If it doesn't, then I go searching again for something that will work for me.
God really doesn't care what vehicle (faith/religion/belief system) that you use to get to Him. He just cares that you get to Him somehow. Whether you come from the East/West/North or South, all paths lead to the top of the mountain. Some are just easier than others.
That's why I never disparage anyone's belief system if it works for them.
Judaism is a corruption of the Law that began with the sect of the Pharisees about 150 years before Christ.Actually, Judaism started with Abraham, which was many years prior to Christ.
who in their right mind would place themselves inside a woman's uterus for 9 months waiting to be "born" ... and then act like a baby, learn how to walk and spend 30 years - growing up.
I'll attempt to decipher your gibberish.
If you are speaking about Jesus and His virgin mother, Mary, as well as the place of His birth, you've clearly missed the point of the Bible story and it's history. You MUST start at the beginning in the Book of Genesis. The fall of man is the key that answers the need for Jesus Christ.
Where Christ grew up is irrelevant to His most profound purpose. I'll explain more if you're interested.
Then God said, “Let us make life in our image, in our likeness, the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky the livestock and all the wild animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground.”
Children of God who've been awakened by the Holy Spirit. There's a lot going on beyond your limited perception (and mine).you did not answer the question - who in their right mind would believe the above ...
jesus taught the correct heavenly genesis ... the religion of antiquity
to dispel the liar moses and the inclusion of their lies written in the judean documents. and all 3 false desert religions.
Do a subject search of the Bible using the keyword "curse".God does not curse any of us. What we are always seeing is the goodness of God's creation. Every so often each one of us--or we as a group--go off track as humans do. We bring consequences on ourselves, just as we would bring the consequences of gravity upon ourselves if we should run off a cliff. God has always been there to help us back up, help us right what we did wrong, and then continue on. God's blessings are always available.
