What Makes Jesus Christ So Much Better than Me or You?

I'm not meaning to degrade Jesus Christ, but why don't you pray to God in YOUR OWN Name (with the understanding that you're 'covered by' the Calvary Payoff BY Jesus Christ, the 'payment in full' that set your account equal to all the other Sons of YHVH)? Was it 'that He died and rose again'? There are quite a few ways people do that today (including the way I did it-partially but -too early). All I can tell you about the Jesus Christ path is that it involves 'being tree-like in your personal philosophy and having several close friends who are of a like-mind.' Was there something else that made Jesus Christ special?

I'm not Christian and I don't believe that anything or anyone is better than anyone or anything else. I believe that all is equal and all is one.

You're referring to my preferences? I have my own tastes in things. I like to listen to certain music; I like to eat certain foods, and I like to spend time with certain people, but it doesn't mean that these things are better. It just means that those are the things for me. Life is just about experiences.

So how do you decide between good and better?

Can you let Christ be one of those experiences?

We pray to God in Jesus' name, because even God confirmed that no one could go to Him except through Jesus Christ (I just can't quote the verse, I am not that Bible-savvy). In addition, in the Roman Catholic belief, Jesus is one with God and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was there when God created the world. That, for me, makes Him extra special.

So basically God is pissed that we didn't turn out how he wanted (ie. sins), despite the fact that he is all-knowing and all-seeing, so now he's too good to talk to us directly?

He is talking to you right now, through people around you, through every sunrise and sunset, through the birds, through nature. Maybe you're just too busy that you do not appreciate it. When was the last time that you stopped to smell the flowers?

God/Jesus BREATHED OF HIMSELF into man, so he is with us as long as we live!

What Makes Jesus Christ So Much Better than Me or You? Not sure, outside of what I was told and taught. Was there something else that made Jesus Christ special? Yes, he allowed the creation of you, me and so many others.

You remember that even Jesus begged of His Father to "Let this cup pass away from" Him?

I can't distinguish between God and Jesus..they are the same. I think the best explanation was one of my teachers who held up 3 matches and lit them and said..while they are 3 different matches, held together they are but one flame, that stayed with me and I don't try to figure it out anymore..but one day I think we will all understand it:)

They're like 'stary signing-up for college next semester' and 'stary attend class everyday.'
