I wonder if somehow context matters in this conversation. In some ways I would agree with you that there may not be enough attention to Jesus when it comes to certain conversations; however, your earthing it back in self is really helpful. I do wonder though: don't you believe that the message we have now, that is as it is presented in the gospels is a translation of some sorts. That is a retelling of what went on? Thanks again for the conversation.... jc Thanks for commenting Sean.

In Fact I don't believe that theres enough attention brought to Jesus. Instead of trying to Tranlate into everyday life, why not just take the message as its given, Pray everyday and Pass our Faith onto others. Esp, since others have begun to question there believes, can you ask yourself " Am i a Stumbling rock for others?" and answer it... "Are there things I do and say cause Contridiction? " And Most Important " Am i unselfishly doing God's will without Bending the Word of God?" Hmm, No i do not think Jesus has become a Distraction.
