Jesus The Christ: A brief review of verses

...One of the many things that "progressive" versions of the Christian Church appear to have dropped from their tenets is that Jesus was the Christ…here are just a few of the several hundred verses in scripture that refer to The Christ…it seems that the apostles uniformly agreed on this and held Jesus' Christhood as a fact:


Matthew 16:16 NIV

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."


Mark 8:29 NIV

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ. "


Luke 9:20 NIV

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."


John 1:41 NIV

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).


John 11:27 (New International Version)

27 "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."


John 20:31 NIV

But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.


James 1:1 NIV

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.


1 Peter 3:15 NIV

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…


1 John 3:23 NIV

And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.


Jude 1:4 NIV

For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

The Tao of Pooh

Wayne, I like what you said about uncertainty. The way I see it, the less we know about a proposition, the more staunchly we tend to defend it. It happens in science too much. But it happens in religion, even more. In the end, we can know with some certainty what we feel at the moment. And with a great deal of reasoning we can be pretty sure of the proposition "I think I think; therefore I think I am." Further afield, we actually know very little. So I tend to think that the truth of a religious proposition lies not in some essence of fact, but in how we would feel about living in a group, a society, a world that embraces the same proposition. For example "all people are equal before the law." When religious ideas and practices help us to be more kind, reflective, and open to other people, I think they can help us feel better about our place in society. And they can help us be part of a happier society. It is my opinion, however, that a great deal of theolog...
