In fact, Christ did know Lazarus, his sisters, and had stayed with them. There were times Christ wept as a man weeps, not as some universal, symbolic avatar.

As to “universal brotherhood,” that is a straw distortion. “He was not ashamed to call us his brethren” has some rather clear and obvious meaning, though nowhere do I assert all accept that brotherhood. At any rate, I’ll leave it for the religious forum.

Here are the facts. YOU rode in as always to highjack a conversation. In this case between me and 4real. One in which he had indicated that the Christian point of view, as that might apply to sin and the penalty there of, was wrong. And that as the result, Jesus wept, or weeps, because the going liberal view is one of not judging, which I took to be a slam of my comparison of Evolutionism and the moral lapses of our time. And you're right there with him on that, are you not? At any rate, moral behavior is the topic of this thread, and God is the purveyor of all things moral. If it is all the same to you, I will take His word on the pitfalls of effeminacy and or homosexual deviancy.

I am fully aware as to the intricacies of the passage involving the death and raising of Lazarus including the background and the ramifications from the point of view of the disciples.

He is not ashamed to call ONLY CHRISTIANS His brethren. The rest of humanity are not saved and outside of the only provision for eternal life that God the Father has afforded them. But that doesn't deter or even slow you down any from coming on here to spew your heresies now does it? You know how to fake it, that much I grant you. God does not forgive sin but by one and only one way. The acceptance of Jesus as Savior AND Lord.
