EMERGENCY
please respond to this statement:
"Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ was God incarnate for 33 years and as the risen Lord is today the second person of the Trinity, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit... This is one of my absolutes, my most fundamental absolute... I clearly recognize that my belief, my absolute, may be wrong... It remains my absolute because I always find it confirmed by life... I may be wrong, and those holding other worldviews may be right. All I can do, however, is to state what I firmly believe to be the nature of reality."

Sounds like a big oxymoron! Sounds like if at any second that life does not look like God (which sin can make it look that way) he would disbelieve everything and turn to face "the other side" God is not just a belief. . .HE IS! Fact.
i think cs lewis said it best.. its long,, but its good.
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." :: Mere Christianity
