Quote by: Technosoul  True, children are not like adults.
Somewhat like the smallville TV show about Superman.
Our modern age cannot really relate to having someone with supernatural abilities walking around on water and so forth.
The novelty of all that, if it is to believed, does not fit into any of the evelopes we use for determining our reality. It is all totally outside the box and as alien to our planet as would be some of those ufo sightings.
In all honestly we have no bases in our reality by which to say "that makes sense".
Because of the paranormal discriptions used by those who wrote the story.
None the less, some of his sayings and his philosophy, which writers claim were spoken by this person called Jesus, are well worth concideration and praise.
Where other things he said are riddles that go beyond the logic to explore for the "Other". Which we might title the "unexplainable flying objects within the mystery of life, self, and the universe". The Riddles are not facts but rather they act like a springborad to jump off of into a swimming pool of a questioning and seeking mind. The message is not about believing, but about seeking, even if the search goes outside of the box that we use to contain our logical perceptions. Leaving us with the option - freakout or remain secure in the known status of logical deductions. Take your pick. Transforming the unknown into the known is not an easy task because cultural conditioning is well constructed. |
I believe its safe to say Jesus did exist, did perform these miracles, and predictions he made before he died and rose, later came true like Jerusalem being destroyed which it was by the Romans in 70 AD.
