A link my son found.

Dutch,

I was looking through the images and the pictures and see that that site portrays Jesus as an image for all here yet still requires others to accept Jesus as Lord. There is still much confusion over the one statement Jesus is recorded making. "I am the Truth, the Life and the Way. No man comes to the Father except by me". I believe it was Janet (AITNOP) who pointed out that it was brought up in a group she attended that the Way is not Jesus the man but rather Love.

The Love, Way and truth which Jesus personified is a universal part to all religions. So perhaps the gospel that fundamental Christians preach and that site seems to portray still has not grasped the concept that it is not Jesus that saves or that Christianity needs to promote as a conversion process of others but rather the saving grace of Love/compassion and inclusiveness that Jesus life and the life of others including those of other religions seems to personify.

Just a personal thought I had while looking through the site.

Joseph

Joseph,

Once again I lept before looking. Jesus walking with the Nazi is worth thinking about without the commentary. I agree with you about the rest. :blink:

Dutch,

The site did have some interesting pictures to contemplate. I believe it said the author was a fashion photographer. The writings however seemed to me to be nothing new or different.
