The Muslims are followers of a pedophile merchant they don't even pretend to come from God, it's not better or worse as Christians but really no standard for the truth.

The man Jesus is the Word made flesh. Did Jesus go back to his original state as the Word? a reply to:
In as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Yes, he ascended back to Heaven where He came from and sent His Holy Spirit to abide with us until his next physical return, also known as the "second coming of Jesus".
I had a friend who thought the second coming of Jesus would happen in his lifetime. He used to quote me "the signs" all the time. He died 10 years ago. I'm pretty confident anyone reading this post will be long dead and gone before the second coming of Jesus.

He never said he would return, he never said he was God. He also never left so how could he return? Christianity is just bs, it's so full of # from day one... there is only one God.
Everything else is the devil, ie blasphemy. It doesn't really make a difference if you pray to Jesus or a golden piece of # it all leads you away from God.
Humans struggle with a demon infestation, people know that, whenever someone is in contact with the one true God they can't help themselves but hate hate and hate. Ask the Jews.

Here is a really good explanation for what happened 2000 years ago. There is some research that has suggested the gospel is war time occupation propaganda created by the Romans. Now before you dismiss this out of hand consider the Jewish people. The Jewish people are the most ruthless and belligerent people on the planet. They are about as far away from Ghandi as you can get. What are the chances these three verses came from the most belligerent people on the planet:

Friedrich Nietzsche has some interesting criticisms of Christianity. Christianity was born in response to Roman oppression. It took hold in the minds of timid slaves who did not have the courage or strength to get hold of what they really wanted.
The slaves could not admit do their own failings. So the clung to a philosophy that made a virtue of cowardice. Everything the Christians wanted and wished they had in their lives for fulfillment was what was considered to be a sin. A position in the world, prestige, sex, intellectual mastery, wealth were too difficult or beyond their reach. The Christian slaves created a hypocritical creed denouncing what they wanted but were too weak to fight for to get while praising what they did not want but did have as being worth having. So in the Christian value system sexlessness turned into 'purity', weaknesses became "goodness," submission to authority became "obedience," and in Nietzsche's words, "not-being-able-take-revenge" turned into "forgiveness."
The real test of Christianity is too love and embrace people who do not share in your belief in Jesus. I think the Beatitudes are great and everything but nobody ever follows them in real life.
