Instead of trying to look intelligent, by putting the greek in the subject box...instead could could have said Logos or Word. And even after that, you could have referenced the verse (John 1:1 if memory serves me correctly). You could have also put some more into your explanation, since your viewpoints are anything but consistent with contemporary Christian thought.
That's especially true when in this very post you speak of being somewhat universalist (which Christ isn't), you focus on this world and not the next (when Christ doesn't), and you have no emphasis on preaching the salvation message of Jesus Christ (which was the point of Jesus coming to earth in the first place).
As such, you didn't answer my question. Why hold to the title of Christian, when your beliefs are so non-Christ like. Is Jesus the priority and cornerstone to your faith? Is He *everything* when it comes to what you believe? Is He the *only* way?
