This comment, as far as I can see, simply states that since I could never truly understand Jesus, I couldn't argue against your claims. Since I never want to offend anyone's religion, I don't think I could argue against this.

You think because you're a Christian, believe in God and all that is written in the Bible is true like all other Christians that you'll be one of "Chosen Ones" to go to Heaven when Judgement day comes? Think again! He sees things from a completely different angle. Even the greatest of terrorists can end up in Heaven. To Him, there are no great sins and little sins. Stealing a cookie from the cookie jar is just as bad as murdering someone to Him. What's wrong is wrong and what's right is right.

[Pantbera]

Read the Bible in the new testament. You'll find that several times the people did not understand what Jesus meant with what he told them even though he spoke their language. At some part in the old testament God was once asked "What are You?" and he replied, "I am what I am." His eyes thoughts, memories and words are far different than ours. His mind is not from this world. He sees, hears, thinks and talks completely different than we do. If we could understand Him, He would not have been God.
