I am heartened that you do not propose that the only way to Heaven is through an individual human being or some other object.
> KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS CHRIST
In Jesus of Nazareth, I do. He had wisdom beyond his years.
> HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE
Like so many others who freed us from tyranny.
According to the Trinity, I guess so. I can't help to believe that the Father is the first and the last. In between lies the Universe and all of its miraculous Glory. In between lies us.
> HE FREED US ALL FROM ALL OUR SIN
So sin, we may? I don't understand what you mean here.
> HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, LOOK TO HIM!
In Jesus of Nazareth, I do. There are fewer better.
I don't know if that makes me Christian or not. I am resistent to the notion that there is divine intervention. I don't think God likes to break his own rules. I believe that all of the Universe was set into motion at the moment of creation. Just like a break in the game of pool, the path of every ball was determined by a single master shot. In this is the paradox. If you were to follow a path determined in advance of your birth, you must surely be where you belong in the moment.
I was meant to walk my own path as I seek it out in freedom of thought.
