re: #388 Obdicut

Oh lord. You’re one of those people who agrees with that strange MP who argued with Hitchens and Fry, aren’t you, that the gender of Jesus really, really mattered?

If it didn’t matter, then I would be amongst the first to argue that Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant) is a bunch of platitudes that is ultimately devoid of any real meaning.

It mattered that Christ was a man. It mattered that Christ was a Jew. It matters who Christ was. If it didn’t matter who He was and everything was just random happenstance devoice of meaning, then what He taught and did is also equally as happenstance and devoid of meaning. WHY? Because Christ came to give us Himself and not a book of laws.
