Zach there is no need to slander here, and if I misrepresented myself then I should clarify. The words I used are specific to the topic at hand, and someone should have a layman’s grasp of those terms if we’re to discuss theology if not they should acquaint themselves with the jargon. No statement made was not backed by evidence, academia acknowledges the historicity of the Bible, it acknowledges the accurate depiction of people, places, events, and cultures. It has the most abundant source data of all works of antiquity and is backed up by many investigations archaeologically, and medically etc. Galston’s main premise has already been dealt with, new ways of rephrasing it really doesn’t change anything.

Cameron’s horse is so high he can’t even see the ground. What’s worse? Attacking straw men, or begging the question?

The heresy of Arianism is not new, therefore this supposed reverend has not brought anything new to the table. Certainly if Arianism is true, Jesus was both a liar and a bad person, since He claimed divinity numerous times saying I and the Father are one, ‘I am’ etc. The Bible is the eyewitness account of Jesus’s life on this earth and according to church history many of the church fathers died for this Truth. Who would suffer death for a lie or something that was irrelevant to the Christian dogma?
‘Jesus has been hijacked by extremists. In general, all religions have been hijacked by extremists.’ This would be a mis-representation of your opposition, a straw-man. This man then sets up the opposition as extremists, this is very anti-intellectual and shows no desire to debate truth. To say that after reading exegesisly from the text is extreme is odd. I suppose we ought to denounce those who read exegesisly a science textbook, or historical accounts as extremists.

@ Paul, for someone who claims to be christian, you should know how to spell divine.

How dare this man attempt to inject some common sense and practicality into religion! That is blasphemy!

I agree with Paul. Jesus was human, but he was also fully God as well, Colossians 2:9 says, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” This verse clearly states this fact. If Jesus was human, but not God,
then He would have been imperfect, and thus unable to atone for the sins of the world, by dying on the Cross, which is the root of Christianity. Without Jesus, we are left with no hope, as we cannot save ourselves. The answer lies with Jesus, and his redeeming grace. If you look at the world,and the tanking economy, and violence, and divorce rates, it is clear that human efforts always fail, but the only One who will never fail is Jesus, the Son of God.

Sorry Rev. Galaton, Jesus was indeed human BUT also Devine. He didn’t / doesn’t give you the option to ignore His Divinity. Christianity without the Devine Jesus is NOT Christianity. As someone who claims to be a Christian you should know better.
