So you are saying that since Jesus is the only one "we" should believe in, then why do I have to go to church and listen to a rambling priest? He aint Christ. Anyone can claim that they believe in Jesus. But do THEY even follow his first and foremost commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." (Matt. 22:37)? I don't think so. If he were God, he would have said directly that "Love ME with all your heart, all your mind, your entire being". But he didn't now, did he?
Are you sure that Prophets never came down from Heaven sir? I beg you to reconsider. How about John the Baptist then? Since no Prophet ever descends from Heaven, is he a fake then?
You are obviously undermining the capability and mercy of God's devotees. Even though they are in God's prescence, they DO FEEL PITY towards the people that are down here on this world, devoid of God-realization. That is why they descend, to establish the principles of God and destroy nescience or ignorance. A devotee of God feels mercy and is compassionate to all, not caring for himself/herself.
And once again about sacrifice. So basically, you think that a greater part of Jesus' mission was to die on the cross and redeem mankind through that? Then you are basically in league with Judas, Caiaphas and all those envious high priests. Then answer this. If that was Jesus' "purpose": to die on the cross and redeem "us" all, then why did he say "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."(Luke 23:34)? Answer me directly, no word jugglery like priests and evangelists use. Why would Jesus Christ ask his Father to forgive those who crucified him if his crucifiction was a "sacrifice" to redeem mankind?
