ANd hoew is this false you state things as being "simply false", yet you
do not refute or challenge my claim with any evidence.  So they nailed
some
guy to a cross.  He was not God, he in your veiw was the son of God.  HOw
can he be both.  I have read the bible where he is said to be the "son of
God".  It also states something to the point that "you will worship him in
my name" or "you will worship me in his name"  But in order to make that
statment they would have to be two different entities.  If you are going
to refute me, please back up your answer.  Or you are being to simplistic.
As relegion often is.
