it's orthodox and Hacidic jews, there's also some strange sect my dad's friend is in that are Jewish but believe in Christ, WTFWJD?
But Christians see Jesus as a part of the triune god. Muslims and Jews do not. If anything, you might be able to say that Muslims and Jews have the same god (how ironic), but Christians do not.BurlyShirley said:
Ah, now not all Christians believe in the Holy Trinity..Old Man G Funk said:
yeah!fluff said:
I dont believe in the Holy Trinity!!!!
wait a second, I don't think I'm Christian either....
All Christians (with the exception of Andyman and his sect I think) do believe in the divinity of Jesus at least, right?fluff said:
Nope. (Although it does kinda depend how you define Christian, of course.)Old Man G Funk said:
Christadelphians, for a start, don't.
Whether they admit it or not, Jesus as a "son of god" is at least a demi-god and therefore divine.fluff said:
would make sense considering the religion itself is called 'Christ'anity.Old Man G Funk said:

i thought the father, son & holy ghost were SOP for christianity.
Yeah you know that always bugged me in (parochial) high school. We've got pretty boy swede jeebus oils on velvet, a gawd or two in on the Sistine Chapel.......but where's the ghost?narlus said:
Is he like the silent pardner or somethin'?

Do you realize that Bush is ok with the deal going through? Sometimes I wonder if your only purpose is to find something to slam Bush on.Changleen said:Because the American voting public is inherantly racist, AND unable to differentiate in any real way between one Arab country and another. Well done George.
It was really just the politicians and unions making a stink about this because they want to use it for political gain. It is hardly even being discussed compared to a week ago.
I thought I was the only one.kidwoo said:
Also "son of man" and in fact a man, so whilst immortal, not divine. They also do no believe in the Holy Spirit as a separate entity, simply God's holy power in 'bottled' form.Old Man G Funk said:
And no devil, no hell.
You scream Kidwoo's name when you masturbate? I didn't realise you guys were so close.MMike said:
He's dreamy....fluff said:
Whether they really do or do not have some sort of divinity of Christ thing going on is really beside the original point.fluff said:
Bush does think Jesus is Lord (part of god and divine) and when he speaks of god he certainly isn't speaking of the Jewish or Muslim god.
Sheesh, just 'cos you didn't know something is no reason to get all huffy. I never said it had anything to do with the original point that Bush doesn't think Allah talks to him. It's not like MMike's obsession with Kidwoo is relevant either but you not getting snippy with him.Old Man G Funk said:
Some people...
Sorry bro, didn't mean to make you think I was getting snippy. I'm not. Personally, I think they are confused about what being a son of a god really means, but I guess that's beside the point.fluff said:

Hillary Clinton 'unaware' of Bill's Dubai ties
Stephanie Kirchgaessner
Financial Times
Updated: 3:12 a.m. ET March 4, 2006
Hillary Clinton, a leading opponent of DP World's takeover of some US port operations, was this week forced to admit that she did not know her husband had advised Dubai leaders on how to handle the growing dispute.
But former President Bill Clinton's ties to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates should not have come as a surprise to his New York senator wife.
Mrs Clinton's own senatorial financial disclosure forms reveal that her husband earned $450,000 giving speeches in Dubai in 2002.
Officials from the UAE also donated between $500,000 and $1m to fund Mr Clinton's presidential library in Arkansas.
It was part of an effort by the emirates, said a person close to UAE officials, to forge a close relationship with a former US president who is influential and highly regarded in the region.
Mr Clinton's admiration for the UAE was last on display in November, when he made his fourth visit to the American University in Dubai and met students participating in the Clinton scholarship programme.
The UAE has also contributed $100m to Hurricane Katrina relief funds – which Mr Clinton had a leading role in raising.
Mrs Clinton's tough stance that the deal represented an "unacceptable risk" to national security has caused UAE officials some consternation.
Regarded as the leading Democratic candidate for the 2008 presidential elections, she has used the deal – which polls show is disliked by most Americans – and the anti-Arab sentiment it sparked to attack the Bush administration on national security, an issue that has been seen as a weak point for Democrats.
Although Mrs Clinton has been careful not to criticise the UAE directly, her stance has put her in the same camp as legislators who openly accuse Dubai of helping to finance the September 11 terrorist attacks and deem the UAE untrustworthy.
Privately, some Democrats see the revelations about his ties to the UAE as a classic Clinton dilemma. Mrs Clinton told the New York Post on Thursday that she did not know her husband had been contacted by Dubai officials two weeks ago and offered them advice on the deal. Although both Hillary and Bill Clinton say he stands behind her on the issue and there is no direct conflict, his relationship to the UAE has complicated her political stance on the transaction.
Meanwhile, the UAE has sought to quell the backlash against the takeover by hiring some Clinton officials to lobby on Dubai's behalf.
N8, this must be difficult for you.
Mrs. Clinton is opposed to the deal, while Mr. Clinton seems to be backing it. Either way, you have to agree with one of them it seems. Tough break for you.
