Materialism
innuendo is not the basis of any natural science it is a very soft social science at best, gold plate the sepulchre if you wish but its mausoleum is founded on rock hard material rock hard engineering.
Nothing about God its a misguided following more than a religion created from the mind of a frightened child, it desires outcomes yet it should not.
Exegesis is reading the text within the boundaries of the language eisegesis is the very liberal version
Sects that have over 98% agreement on the Godhead a miracle one might say, adiaphora does not see you worshipping a false God nor following a false Jesus.
Christianity you receive the imputed righteousness from Jesus that takes the centre away from self, way way away from self.
Christianity would be unrecognisable to Christ today Would the creator not know the state of his creation, the temperature of his body, that is a fallacious Deistic god
Wafflehead the triune God found resplendent in the scriptures is a personal God and a sovereign God there is no deism to be found in the Godhead look at the mere fact God invaded space and time cloaked in human flesh as Jesus of Nazareth.

But it raises an interesting tangential point, who did recognize Jesus when he began his ministry and was there recognition?
Let me introduce you to an interesting person wafflehead Nicodemus
Nicodemus was a Pharisee like Saul of Tarsus a prominent member of the Great Sanhedrin council in Jerusalem regarding Jewish law this is where the final buck stopped. Nicodemus was described as the teacher of Israel by Jesus himself yet in Christ's day Jesus ended up suffering a humiliating death, a criminals end dying hung on a cross.
Jesus and Nicodemus…
John 3
2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”"They knew" he was from God yet knowing this they still plotted to have him killed, startling situation you would have thought recognizing Jesus as one who has come from God it would have been rapturous celebrations in the council, manna sent directly from heaven that in their lifetime this council would witness one who was been sent from God. Yet it was not the case...any thoughts on why wafflehead that would be the reality that Jesus faced? A sad situation indeed contemplate it and I will endeavour to touch base with you again over the weekend time permitting.
I hope you are well waffle.
