i was blessed by be raised away from all this hocus pocus but I thought the whole point of jesus is that he is dead
It's that he died and came back to life to live forever in heaven is the big deal, since the idea is you can also do that if you act like Jesus and also admit he did it first because he's God.
isn't jesus divinity hotly debated? Like I am not christian, but I thought that therewas some disagreement there.
It's debated outside of Christianity, but I'm not aware of any Christian denominations that don't regard Jesus as divine. Almost every Christian on Earth believes Jesus is one-third of God, but also being God himself because the Trinity is odd like that. Jews don't view Jesus as divine, since he didn't bring about the end times. Muslims view Jesus as a prophet on the level of Moses who performed miracles, but they don't see him as the same entity as God.
There are a very small minority of Christians who don't believe in the Trinity. Which means they don't believe there are three separate, co-equal aspects of the same God. Rather they believe Jesus and God are two distinct entities.
I thought you werent going to bring up nontrinitarians for a second which would have floored me as someone who grew up in a nontrinitarian sect and always found the trinity extremly fucking strange.
Yeah that's who I meant. Nontrinitarians exist but I think you'd agree that they're not very prominent worldwide.
All of modern dogma assumes that he is divine or part of the divine trinity.
I find that very strange as an ex Christian Scientist, who believe we are all children of God and that Jesus was just a man but just like, the best man.
At one point yes, but it's no longer the sixth century ce.
