Faith
First Things First: Much as I love discussing the details like what's here on this page...all of this discussion is irrelevant if you don't have Salvation
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son; so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life

I know I don't have all the answers, but this is where I keep my best revelations and observations...and those I find from others. I also learned a few years ago that all the "head knowledge," and debate, in the world won't change the world...or change the heart of someone you care about. This fact is in the Bible too...
1 Cor 13:1 "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." In other words, being right is far less important than being a caring person. I'm working on it :-)
From Wikipedia.org, about CS Lewis: In a much-cited passage in the book Mere Christianity, Lewis challenged the increasingly popular view that Jesus, although a great moral teacher, was not God. He argued that Jesus made several implicit claims to divinity, which would logically exclude this:
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. (Lewis 1952, p. 43)
