		<description>&lt;p&gt;@Gegi:
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, Jesus was crucified for claiming to be God.
&lt;br /&gt;
He forgave sins (only God can forgive sins), He said &quot;Before Abraham was, I AM&quot;, which is why the Jews tore their clothes and said he was blaspheming. He was using God&#039;s holy name, which every Jew was forbidden from saying, because by saying it, you claim to be God. Also, John 1:1 states that Jesus was and is God.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
@Brad:
&lt;br /&gt;
Meat and nerve endings? Sounds like a great way for a dictator to address his constituents. Oh what moral flexibility could be had if only we viewed people in such wonderful ways, huh?
&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, the question is this: why do you believe what you do, and is it true?
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I do not believe in god. I am however quite certain that man is not an animal and that he is an eternal being which has been living for trillions of years. We use bodies to operate in the physical universe here on earth, but we are not those bodies. They are just meat and nerve endings. Next lifetime, you will pick up another one and it will die, and so the cycle goes. There is another universe. The SPIRITUAL universe. This is our native home and we are all searching for a way to escape this endless cycle of life and death. I have found the way. Have you?
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have long question how God cam to exist. The idea that he exists outside the law of cause and effect is very interesting.
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Don&#039;t get me wrong, I believe that he is sitting on the throne  at the right hand of GOD the Father . Proving himself faithful and worthy to do so. Just as it was promised.
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jesus never claimed to be GOD, he always refer to GOD as his father, Jesus always put himself lower then God the father. Jesus was sent to teach us humility and love , To hate the sin but love the sinner. There are so many scriptures that prove this. That is not to say that Jesus is not powerful. But Lets face it. Had Jesus been the ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD, How would Satan have been in the position to  offer Jesus the earthly realm if he just would whorship him? If Jesus had been God the father of all creation, would not that have been his already? Man made doctrines have cause many confessions in many religions . But if we look at the very core and compare religions we find that we have more in common then we know.
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have read two of the four books you referred to and can vouch for the rationality of the evidence they present. Of course, I am also not formally trained and am far from an expert, but I like to think I am capable of basic logical thought.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I found your explanation of the cause-effect rule and the resulting trap that athiests unwittingly set for themselves very clear. Thank you for the sound reassurance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As for miracles in general, and other accounts of limbs growing back and human bodies rising from the dead (in a non-zombie way), I have heard personal accounts from trusted friends on some of these occurences. Unfortunately I haven&#039;t witnessed them first-hand, and have only experienced a few things I would define as positively supernatural intervention from a graceful God. But those experiences are very real and personal to me, and one would have a very difficult time in explaining them away.
&lt;/p&gt;
