Ahhh I remember the days of debating about the Saturday and the Sunday. Oh and the 10 commandments… whew!
lol @ chop your christian head off.
Hes right ya know.
Ive always thought Islam might just be the AntiChrist everyone is looking for……
Hi David,
LOL okayyyy Im an Anti-Christ
Reminds me of someone a while back that said “if youre wondering who the Anti-Christ is, go take a look in the mirror…” lolI dont think the Anti-Christ is a person. I think its a 'movement'. Whether it be spiritual, political or what i dont know.
Do I have to find scriptures to back up my opinion?

Okay, well your quite entitled to interpret it as you see fit. However…..
That interpretation has an unspoked assertion that comes with it, which is- Yeshua is in some sense not good. I guess we would both agree that Yeshua, in Mark 10:18, was speaking of absolute goodness. Only God is absolutely good. Even bad men can be said to be “good” in a relative sense. So the question is Phoenix, was Yeshua, as He was portrayed in the NT, only relatively good?
I have some thoughts but i'd like to read what you think about this.

Hi IsWow good question!
As he was portrayed in the NT? hmmm ok. My answer would have to be Yes. He was only relatively good.
My reasons.
If my son called me WOMAN instead of Mother… I would clip his ears.When he was a little boy and went missing. I believe he disobeyed his parents. Right? was this even in the bible? or did I get this somewhere else? forgive me if it isnt in the bible.
There is 29-30 years of his life not recorded in the bible. We cant judge whether Jesus was perfectly good or not can we?
I can guarantee that if he was like all young boys, he is bound to have had some form of mischevious behaviour.
Anyway, thats the best answer I can give you

Phoenix, I think you might be confusing goodness with niceness. Yeshua was not always “nice” to people, the pharisees can certainly attest to that, but he was always “good”….Acts 3:14
“But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,2 Corinthians 5:21
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.Hebrews 4:15
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.Hebrews 7:26
For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;1 Peter 1:19
but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.1 Peter 2:22
WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;1 John 3:5
You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.Phoenix, I find these statements impossible to reconcile with a “relatively good” Jesus….I think it's clearly taught in scripture that Yeshua was good in the absolute sense, which begs the question:- if only God is absolutely good, and this was manytimes imputed to Yeshua, on what grounds could it be argued that Yeshua was denying that He was God in Mark 10:18? I don't think it can, in fact it's a verse that should rightly be used in support of His deity.

Hi IsIf Yeshua was not nice then that would make him disrespectful. So, because the discussion was about “relatively good”, which to me means we are comparing him with someone which in this case is God the Father, then Yes he was only relatively good, was he not?
In regards to those statements…
Quote Phoenix, I find these statements impossible to reconcile with a “relatively good” Jesus….I think it's clearly taught in scripture that Yeshua was good in the absolute sense Ok, compared to US, he was absolutely good.

I don't think it can, in fact it's a verse that should rightly be used in support of His deity. Well I think it can. He couldnt do anything without the authority of the Father.
