Christ is a unique specie, not different from us by degrees, but radically unique.


I don't know what a specie is.

All dogmatic religions with doctrines and strict rules are there for control, not for global unity and love. :levitate:

Unfortunately, that is what happens when the followers of the original peace & love message are co-opted by evil people who are into power & control. Where there is love, there is an absence of the will-to-power. It has been transcended for a higher good and an increasing unity.

About this: not all situations call for love.

For example, I deal with 2 delusional people every day. I have had to separate myself, mentally & physically, in order to become successful. It's not that they are the sole reason for my downfall, but they make a huge dent considering they are both "prime" characters in my life.

I used to want to try to have a great relationship with them, I used to want to make them happy and show them enlightenment. I no longer wish this, they are arrogant and useless to me and my personal family.

They hurt more than anything, and even though I can be the better person and try to resolve things like I have so many times, I choose not to. Why? I'd rather personal success, based on wealth and fulfillment, than to deal with people who deserve little in life.

Not quite right:

Quote:
spe·cie
1. coined money; coin.

2.—Idiom
in specie,
a.
in the same kind.
b.
(of money) in coin.
c.
in a similar manner; in kind: Such treachery should be repaid in specie.
d.
Law. in the identical shape, form, etc., as specified.


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/specie

If the claim is that Jesus was a different species than his mother Mary and his adopted father Joseph, then that still does not help, because I don't know what a species is either.

If we say that species are kinds, then is a nickle the same kind of thing as a quarter? Both are coins. Is a 1973 nickle the same kind of thing as a 1974 nickle? Both are nickles, but they are different kinds of nickles. 

Is a chicken radically different from a duck? as radically different as it is from a mud puddle?

you are in no position to,
show them enlightenment

because you yourself
are arrogant

You're joking, right? That, or you must be inexperienced in life itself.
