Very true, there were plenty of other influential people over past centuries. The thing is that in that period of the world, the Jews had been conquered by Rome, and their religious texts claimed that a savior was coming to restore the kingdom of Israel. Christians believe that Jesus was that savior, and that he made it possible for all kinds of people to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jews believe that is wasn't Jesus, and they are still waiting. Even Muslims give Jesus credit, although they claim he is only a prophet, and not a savior.

The way I see it, is that since all sorts of groups that give him credit over the past millennium, it makes the most sense.

Also, I just read this through and I don't feel i actually got my point across, but oh well. Here's hoping.

Yes, Methodists are a denomination of Christianity. Each are very different. I said my church, because you are obviously not part of it. My church has a saying: Religion is what Man created to boss others around with rules and regulations. We must be Jesus followers, not followers of religion. If you would like to argue, go right ahead.

It must be easy, to take the choices of some people, and to group millions of others in with them. As a Methodist, we believe the Pope is full of $%!@. My church taught me to respect all people.....aka gays, muslims, jews, atheists, and even the Jedi. Its a simple life, Love your neighbor as yourself. It works fine for me.

And yet if you read further in Genesis, you will see that God commanded Adam to name and care for all animals

its kinda like denomination
