Jesus is Love?

"I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father excpt
through me"

So...Why did Jesus "threaten" those who reject him with eternal torture for not believing in his divinity?

DIVINE INSANITY
God killed himself on the cross to save his own creation from his own
wrath !

Who cares? :huh: If even a third of the things in the Bible made any sense I would be a Christian.

Even if the only things that made sense were in the OT? Without Christ's resurrection, there is no basis for Christianity at all. You're saying you'd be a Christian even without that?

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 1 Corinthians 15:14

IMHO, there are enough scriptural references to suggest that Jesus denied his own divinity; but implied instead that a way or life is not a person. Concepts of divine personages merely foster idolatry. Blame Paul, the early church fathers and John Milton for the mythological confusion.
