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?

What is special about Jesus?

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.

Forgive me but I can't see whatever point it is you are trying to make.
If so why would I be the blame for you not being able to see the point?
In a debate you seeing the point or not seeing the point
is not my responsibility to you, but it is your responsibility to rebuttal it unless
the only excuse you have for not making one is...
"Forgive me but I can't see whatever point it is you are trying to make."
To which point you concede to me the winner.

I have already took it before Him.
I would suggest you go and convince Him...this is no game.
And you should have left well enough alone. But here we are now with it before the living God.

Re: What is special about Jesus?
Post #99OK, you won. What did you win? You supposedly made some point which could not be understood. It was not an argument or even part of a debate. There was nothing to rebut. Perhaps I should post some gibberish that can't be understood so that I can claim a victory too.
