There's a joke that if you ask three Unitarians what they believe, you'll get four different answers. Personally? I consider the Bible to be the work of men, inspired by God to create a mythology (i.e. a teaching story/history) for their people. The Bible speaks moral truths which, when understood in context, can apply as much today as they did back when they were written. Jesus I view as the human son of Mary and Joseph, a righteous man of the line of David, chosen by God at his baptism to be the prophet and messiah of God. Called the Son of God, a title of the Kings of Israel, he rent the veil between us and God - bringing down the priesthood and the temple.Lux wrote: Welcome, IanSounds like you have done some research. I'm curious about Unitarianism, so if you don't mind me asking, do you believe Jesus was a prophet, an immortal son of God, God itself, or none of the above?
