I acknowledge one thing, you come honestly to your name tag, Dummy Boy. When you try to compare Jesus with someone who thinks he's a reincarnation of Jesus you refuse to even engage in honest dialogue. The same can be said for the Blessed Virgin Mary. One of the apologetic arguments for the validity of Christ, for those like yourself with no formal training, is that Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic or Lord. You've already made your choice so live and die with it.
Considering all the writings regarding Jesus Christ from His time on earth to include those continuing to this very day and you compare those to an ARTICLE about some person with mental illness? You waste my time and, personally, I don't care. You've made your choice so why are you fighting against it. You should wear your "No Love, No Fear" T-shirt every day.

Calling me an idiot and denigrating what I said is not an answer. So I'll repeat so that everyone understands how much of a unintellectual, hypocrite you are:
If someone, dressed in plainclothes walked to the front of your church, and claimed to be the Messiah and the son of God, Would you believe him. Better yet, make it a woman. Now: do you understand why 99% of Jews rejected Jesus, do you? Or are you going to call me names?
What formal training do I need, is my bible broken? Here's a stove, fill a pan with water, it is 212 degrees Fahrenheit (at sea level), when the water starts boiling.
What kind of God do you think one is allowed to worship, a complicated, unapproachable, confusing, narcissist; or a loving God?
27 (But) as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ.
28 Yes, my children remain in union with him, so that when he appears we may be full of courage and need not hide in shame from him on the Day he comes.
29 You know that Christ is righteous; you should know, then, that everyone who does what is right is God's child. -1 John 2: 27-29
1 My dear friends do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere.
2 This is how you will be able to know whether it is God's Spirit: anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ came as a human being has the Spirit who comes from God.
3 But anyone who denies this about Jesus does not have the Spirit from God. The spirit that he has is from the Enemy of Christ; you heard that it would come, and now it is here in the world already.
4 But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because the Spirit who is in you is more powerful than the spirit in those who belong to the world.
5 Those false prophets speak about matters of the world, and the world listens to them because they belong to the world.
6 But we belong to God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This, then, is how we can tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of
error.
-1 John 4: 1-6
25 A teacher of the Law came up and tried to trap Jesus.
"Teacher," he asked,
"what must I do to receive eternal life?"
26 Jesus answered him,
"What do the Scriptures say? How do you interpret them?"
27 The man answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with your mind"; and "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."
28 "You are right," Jesus replied;
"do this and you will live."
-Luke 10: 25-28
Lastly, I posted the first page of the article, you're a typical lazy jackass that didn't bother to go to their website, find the article and read it. The article is about a psychologist, that meets Messiah's almost weekly. He has made a career of it.
Read all of the books you want...I can tell you. It hasn't made you a nice person, you are not Christ-like and Christ is a long reach for you clown...long long reach. Hypocrite.
