Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
I have been baptised. No one told me I was Christ.
I did not admit that to myself till after my apotheosis.
I first had to make sure I had a Jesus consciousness and understood religion his way.
If we are all Christ, what is the big deal of being called a Christ?
An oil bath is no big deal unless it is in a Rub & Tug.
What does being Christ mean to you?

DL

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
Are you thus saying that Jesus will be acting ethically when he returns and uses the mass murder of Armageddon against humanity?
God can cure just as easily as kill.
I think curing is the moral thing to do.
You?

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
"There was no legal framework in Jesus' community."
I did not check your full conversation and hope you did not mean all courts.
"The law courts in ancient Athens (4th and 5th centuries BC) were a fundamental organ of democratic governance. ... These courts were jury courts and very large ones: "
More important to the Jews and Jesus would have been their own Holy Council.
Jesus went to a temple first. Not a castle.

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
That some sects of Christianity include anointment as an optional part of their baptism ceremony is hardly relevant to the question.
Baptism is not anointment.

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
Spoken like a true Gnostic wannabe possessed by a demon of hate. And you have the gall to accuse God of being the hateful one. The only things that He will destroy will be the fallen angels and unclean spirits so I suggest you get rid of the one you have before it drags you into death.
I have no issue with you, GIA. I have issues with the false spirit which fills your head with empty knowledge (doctrines of demons) and then embarrasses all of us by you acting so carnally and dismissively while claiming to have found the key belief in Christianity. The orthodox Christian belief is sound. Jesus was never anointed through any human religion or ritual. Nevertheless, He was and is God's son. He existed eternally in Spirit (only one Spirit) and was opposed by the spirits. (many of them, none holy)

“…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox

“A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.”
H. Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
If Armageddon happens it will be caused by humans competing for resources. Global warming will in fact cause a similar scenario. The presence of the Holy Spirit on earth causes the other spirits to react, and humans acquire these other spirits by resisting the pull of the Holy Spirit. Satan lies to us by crying foul and saying God is hateful and destructive when in fact the battle is focused only on him and his legions of spirits and demons.
It all sounds bonkers to a supposed enlightened mind, but time will verify what I am telling you. My main job is to work out my own salvation and overcome the evil assigned to me. It won't be easy and likely ringo will be right and I will have to give everything up. I feel too weak to finish this race.

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
Anointment has absolutely nothing to do with divinity.
The whole issue of whether or not Jesus was anointed is totally irrelevant to anything related to whether or not Jesus was divine.
The "Jesus was not anointed" issue is simply irrelevant to anything other than whether or not Jesus was part of the priesthood and officially recognized as such by the Jewish hierarchy at the time.
He wasn't.

Nobody said that it did. Anointment does have a lot to do with being anointed, which is the point.

And again, nobody said that it did.

The Messiah is supposed to be of the Davidic line and restore the monarchy, so the anointment of kings would be more relevant.
Jesus was almost certainly not of the Davidic line and was never crowned as King of Judah or Israel.

And Jesus is not and has never been seen as a Jewish Messiah.

Many Christians - especially “Messianic Jews” would disagree.

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
Phat
I do not have time for all your supernatural based lies.
You talk like you drink with God nightly and hear every fart.
How did you get to know all that personal stuff?
Or have you just been using too many drugs lately?
Can we go logos and not mythos, please, remember that I focus on morality and your inquisition tactics cannot silence me.
Do you recognize that Christianity, when it was good, was a naturalistic religion?
Have you heard of Chrestianity?
Regards
DL

Re: Jesus was never anointed to Christ
He was and is God's son.
Explain why Yahweh broke the laws of heaven by having Jesus sacrificed instead of stepping up himself.
That fucking coward, you adore?
The same fucking homophobic God who would have human men hate their gay children?
Would you send your chid to die in your steed, --- and be as fucking evil as the Yahweh you idol worship, --- or would you step up to your own responsibility and be your own sacrifice?
Are you as big of a coward as your God?
