Learn history

Again you have to be grounded in history to give an intelligent response to my posts. Yes, the U.S. was attacked, but not by Iraq. This did not give them the right to invade Iraq. President Bush stated that he was following the footsteps of Jesus and most Christian leaders supported him in this statement. The best way to see Jesus is as a prophet of God. Associating him with God or calling him god is not doing him any favors. In fact on the day of judgement he is going to denouce making those statements and those who said those things about him. When I read the Bible, Jesus clearly prays to a higher being than himself, he fasts, and he denies knowing the day of judgement. He even tells someone when asked can a man see God, he states that no man has ever seen God. God does not need creation, but creation needs God. Jesus needed creation in order to live. He had to eat, sleep, drink and pray like ever other human being.
