Back on topic though, Finti, even if you do not believe in Christ or want to go to church, then show some respest and tolerance for those who do.I show them respect when they learn how to come forth with their belief in a right manner, they way they do it now they show little if no respect for other ways of believe so why should I treat christians any other way they treat others

That is so sad... to see a intelligent person fall into the generalisation trap.
It seems Jesus was not one person but many. He played a role of sacred king of the Jews who died in an atonement ceremony as surrogate for a the real king. "The Semitic religions practiced human immolation's longer than any other religion, sacrificing children and grown men in order to please sanguinary gods. In spite of Hadrian's prohibition of those murderous offerings, they were maintained in certain clandestine rites. The priesthood of the Jewish God insisted that "one man should die for the people that the whole nation perish not. Jn 11:50. Yahweh forgave no sins without bloodshed...
Attis like Jesus was sacrificed at the spring equinox and rose again on the third day. He became god and ascended to heaven. Like Osiris and Tummus he was called The Good Shepard.. Mithra and Heracles were Light of the World,Sun of Righteousness, Helios the Rising Sun. Dionysus was King of Kings, God of Gods. Hermes was the Enlightened One and the Logos. Vishnu and Mithra were Son of Man and Messiah. Adonis was the Lord and the Bridegroom. MottAleyin was the Lamb of God and Savior along with others.

This man Constantine, THE FOUNDER OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, was spruced up later in history. HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A VISION OF THE CROSS, because the cross wasn't part of the Christian faith yet.That Fabulous Fable
A nonsense repeated ad nauseam is the fable of the ‘writing above the sun’ which advised Constantine of his divine destiny. In its worst form, the legend has it that the words ‘In this sign, you shall conquer’ and the sign of the cross were visible to Constantine and his entire army. The words would have been, perhaps, Latin ‘In Hoc Signo Victor Seris’, a bizarre cloud formation unique in the annuls of meteorological observation.
however we discover that the vision was in fact a dream reported some years later by Constantine to his secretary Lactantius (On the Death of the Persecutors, chapter xliv; ANF. vii, 318.) The fable was later embellished by the emperor's ‘minister of propaganda’, Bishop Eusebius, in his Life of Constantine (1.xxvi-xxxi). The ‘sign of the cross’ was an even later interpolation (the cross was not a Christian symbol at the time of the battle – nor would be until the 6th century!). Any ‘good luck emblem’ at this date would have been the chi-rho – ambiguously the first two letters of the word Christos, the Greek word for ‘auspicious’ and also Chronos, god of time and a popular embodiment of Mithras!
What is perhaps most significant about this ‘origins’ fantasy is that ‘lucky charms’ had entered the parlance of Christianity. Constantine did not need to be a Christian; invoking its symbols was sufficient to win divine patronage. But did he invoke its symbols? Coins issued at the time celebrating his victory showed only Sol Invictus: his triumphant arch, still standing, refers only to ‘the gods’. In truth, Constantine was not a particularly pious man. Famously, he delayed his baptism until he was close to death for fear of further sinning – with good reason: among his many murders was that of his first wife Fausta (boiled alive) and eldest son Crispus (strangled).

Satan has copied many of the Biblical events and copied many of God's essence into his own "creations" to try and discredit God and the Bible and to fool the world and God's creation. There are many mythological characters throughout history just to show how hard Satan is trying to misled the God's creation. He started off with Eve and is still at it today.

I was hoping some would would say that!I have a book that has a whole chapter on people like you pal.That is ridiculous.The Devil did it?That's a very sad attempt.I guess your going to tell me next that their myths of hell where created by the devil too?In Pagan times thoughs who did not belive Osiris was the son of God where sent to a place of eternal suffering.Hmmmmm...Reminds me of a certain religon that wouldn't come into being for a long time.Learn the history,it makes sense.Each God man story builds upon the one before it all the way up to Christ.
The Passion of the Christ
First of all- How many of yall are actual Christians? Here are a few points to ask yourself before you answer:
1. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God's one & only Son, that He died on the cross for everyone's sins, & He came back from the dead?
2. Do you go to church? If so, are you involved in any church groups?
3. Do you read the Bible & believe God's Word (you don't have to read the Bible to be a Christian. I'm a Christian, but rarely read the Bible)
DO NOT lie!!! Tell the truth!!! If you are not a Christian, then I encourage you to ask Jesus Christ to come into your life, be Lord and Saviour of your life, and forgive you for your sins and help you to live for Him. No one can force you to be a Christian, in fact God gives us a choice-be a Christian & accept Him as Lord and Saviour of your life or be a non-Christian & not accept Him. Saved people don't go to Heaven, forgiven people go to Heaven.
Second of all- From a scale of 1 to 10 (1-hated it, 10- loved it) how would you rate the movie The Passion of the Christ? What didn't you like about it? What did you like about it? If you've seen it would you recommend it to other people? If no, why not? If yes, why?
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Wrong place. And trying to convert people on a internet forum is useless.
