I don't think it's insecurity at all - it's just that, because He is
Who He is, He demands it.


That is my point, Daniel. Demanding it is not the action of one who
understands real power. You don't demand respect, you earn it.


Sure, we as people feel that way - but, then again, we aren't God. If
you are the absolute, one and only Creator of the Universe, aren't you
entitled to demand respect if your uppity creations don't give it on
their own?

Back to Jesus - He was conceived by the Holy Spirit inside a virgin -
so, although He was human in form, He did *not* have the sin nature
that all other men (as in "mankind") are born with. So, yes - He
didn't sleep with Mary Magdalene, or lie to his parents, or play
hooky from school, or steal apples.


Then he was not a man, or human in any way. This is the silliest damned
disscussion I have ever read on usenet. Says a lot for how obsolete
Cobol has become too. *Anything* can be rationalized if you work at it
long enough and have been brainwashed enough.

Perhaps the new motto should be "Cobol, as obsolete as the bible".
