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 Atlantic: The Case Against Encouraging Polygamy Why civil marriage should not encompass group unions

" Where does the next advance come?" he asks in an essay at  Politico.  "Now that we've defined that love and devotion and family isn't driven by gender alone, why should it be limited to just two individuals? The most natural advance next for marriage lies in legalized polygamy.... Gay marriage remains illegal in Australia, most of Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and parts of Europe and Mexico; the most liberal of those countries strike me as the most natural places for "the next advance" of marriage. I'd urge my fellow gay-marriage proponents to focus their efforts there––and legalizing group marriage in America right now would strengthen the hands of gay-marriage opponents abroad, confirming slippery-slope arguments that were raised and rejected here. If it ever made sense to avoid this fight as a matter of political strategy, it still does; if gay marriage was ever a more important priority​ than plural marriage, it remains so." ~ Freddie de Boe...
