"Holy mary mother of GOD.... .. " Well, how the frig can Mary be Mother of God when the earth was CREATED by God and Jesus is Mary's son? Im all confuzzled on this junk. If Mary was blessed with a child by God, how was Jesus <God> The one to be put into her stomach?

The reason because we have one god not many gods, is political for me. In the past they had one god for each tribe, so a way to unify the tribes to create a single nation would be to create a single religion, after all religions was always associated with politics. Thats because we have only monotheisms today, is more probable that a monotheism survived as there would be a strong nation, than a polytheist politicaly divided nation. But thats only my opinion.

Not that they included their gods in the 'one god', but I think that monotheism just is so common today because its politicaly more viable.
Judas wasn't a good guy at all. He was a thief like Barabbas and he was the money man for the disciples and stole some also. He rebuked Jesus for time for letting a woman scrub his feet with expensive perfume. but Jesus rebuke Judas because she was preparing him for his burial and what she did to Jesus would be honored. Judas was making excuses because he wanted that expensive perfume so he could sell it and have the money for himself.

Mary is just a woman whom God chose to bring His Son Jesus into the human experience (so that He could die for our sins). Jesus is the second Person among/within the Godhead (the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are divine).
YOu still didn't explain it.
From a hindu stand point Jesus was the second most recent incarnation of god here upon earth ( buddha being the most recent). WIth that logic Jesus is essentially God.
But from the christian stand point, they are adamant on saying that Jesus is the son of god, NOT god. Sooo why one earth do they keep going on bout worshipping Jesus....... yeah they should, but dont put alllllll the emphasis on just worshipping Jesus.

According to Hinduism isnt God everywhere? Therefore Jesus is God.
