10 Christianity – A Journey from Facts to Fiction other. It, again, is a problem, and a serious one for that matter, whether Jesus Christ as was a perfect god as well as a perfect man. If he possessed both characteristics simultaneously, then he was surely different from the Father who was neither a perfect man nor even an imperfect one. What type of relationship was this? Was the ‘Son’ greater than the ‘Father’? If this additional character did not make the ‘Son’ greater, then it must have been a defect. In that case a defective ‘Son God’ is not only against the claims of Christianity, but is also against the universal understanding of God. How, therefore, could anyone comprehend the paradoxical tenet of Christianity which would have us believe that ‘One in Three’ and ‘Three in One’ are the same thing, with no difference whatsoever? This can only happen when the very foundation of a belief is raised, not on a factual basis, but merely on myth. Yet another problem to be resolved is this: if Jesus as became the ‘Son of God’ as a consequence of his birth from Mary’s as womb, then what was his position before that? If he was eternally the ‘Son’, without having been born of Mary as , why was it necessary to give birth to him in a human form? If it was necessary, then the quality of Son was not eternal; it only became an added character- istic after he was given birth to, and, it disappeared when he rejected the body and returned to heaven. So there are many complexities rising out of a belief which common sense rejects. I invite you again to accept a far more respectable and realistic scenario: that of believing the birth of Jesus Christ as to be a special creation brought about by God, who activated some hidden laws of nature. Jesus as was the metaphorical son of God, loved by Him in a special way, but a human being all the same. His ‘Son’ status
