: I was taught all that too. I don't believe it now, but I respect your right to believe in Jesus. Do you respect my right not to believe in Jesus as god but believe in Jesus as man?
Of course I can respect you no matter what your beliefs are. Really, I don't care what you do or don't believe, it's your life and you can do whatever you want. The thing is, scientists and athiests believe that Jesus actually existed (even if he was just a regular guy). So if you or anybody believed the part of the bible where it says Jesus existed how can you not believe the stuff he did? To me, that would be like saying "I believe in Columbus but I don't believe he was the one who discovered the earth was round" or "I believe in Lincoln but I don't believe he was assasinated". "I believe in Jesus but I don't believe he was ressurrected" It all sounds the same.
God bless you.
