If we can agree that bulls and lambs are insufficient propitiations for our sins then what makes Jesus a sufficient propitiation?
Especially if you think Jesus is a created being then what makes one created being sufficient and another insufficient?
If he is a human then how did he pull it off to not sin for 33 years? Was Jesus created perfect?
What is special about Jesus?

Re: What is special about Jesus?
Post #81For someone to be truly ‘famous’, we generally know a lot about their life.
What do we know of Jesus between the ages of say, twelve to twenty nine?
Not much. In fact, since that’s around fifty percent of his whole life (generously assuming his crucifixion was at thirty three), we should probably admit it:
We don’t accurately know the half-life of Jesus.

What do we know of Jesus between age one or so and age twelve?
We don't know accurately +/- 90% of Jesus' life and that assumes that what is recorded is accurate.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Please can you support your claim that brunumb should support the claim that you can’t support your claim that he doesn’t know what point you’re trying to make is?
That would clear things up nicely, and then we can move on.
