And don't leave out the reason Jesus said what He did about the manna. It was because they ask for a sign and gave an example of a sign that Moses gave them, as they put it, to show he was from God. Then Jesus explained that it was not Moses who gave them the manna, it was God. Why do you suppose He made that distinction? What was so important about doing that, in that moment and in that conversation?
(Hint. It is the same one you are making.)
That is what you are saying, not what I am saying. And it shows clearly that you do not know what Jesus did in actuality, or even why He did it. What is exhibited in remarks like this, is an intellectual assent to Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins, for the self interest of not going to hell---or whatever reason one may have. That is ok for a brand new Christian, provided there truly has been a turning to God through Christ from the heart. We don't know what we don't know, and just like a baby in the natural, we must learn and grow.
But at some point, we should come to understand what Jesus did and why, with a bit more maturity and knowledge. It increases our faith, our love of Jesus, and our gratitude. What is one dimensional, becomes increasingly full of depth and breadth. And this has no end while we are on the earth, and we never reach full knowledge of it here. But there should be growth.
It is highly unlikely that this will ever happen under the teaching of Unitarianism, in whatever form. It cannot even be explored from that premise. If it were, the premise would end up in the garbage, and the Unitarian would become a Trinitarian, standing in utter awe at the glory, and power, and love of God that is revealed within the crucifixion.
I have never once heard you teach any sort of gospel. All I see from any Unitarian I have encountered is an attack on the deity of Christ. That seems to be the only interest or purpose. That in itself is very un-Christian---a religion of destruction and an attempt to demolish the foundation Christians are standing on.
It is likely you have never heard what it is that Jesus accomplished, beyond dying on the cross and coming to life again, for the forgiveness of sin. So I will tell you, in a separate post. It will be in a more indepth level than one would preach the gospel to a "newborn", since you already have some biblical knowledge, and therefore, too long to add here. I will put it in a new thread, on the Bible Study board, and direct you to it with an @. I will title it WDJD: What DId Jesus Do? You can read it or not read it. Hear it or stop up your ears. And if you do read it, try and do so minus an attitude of a know it all.
But first, I need a coffee break.
