True Nature of Jesus Christ

[phoenix_fire]

The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you. Not in mansions of stone or wood. Split a piece of wood and I'll be there. Lift a stone and you'll find me. These are the words Jesus spoke. Those who understand these words shall not taste death.

Has someone been up late watching "Stigmata"? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Yusuf, I have no problem with what you say. As is taught in "comparative religion" college classes, "There is a thread of truth that travels through all religions."

Quote by: Isherwood No human is superior to any other. This attitude is at the core of theist's hostility toward the rest of humanity.

true. very true.

always a pleasure to read your posts, isher.

Superior in what sense??

My experience is that no two humans are identical in any fashion, intellect in particular. Therefore, definitely one superior to the other!!! By analogy somebody could be super most!!!

Granted, one can be superior to others in specific areas, talents or occupations. I was speaking generally and ethically. I don't accept that any human is "better" than any other.

Are you sure, Ish? I would hope a good many humans are better than Hitler.

[Kuldeep]

Hitler is just one example there can be many many others!!!

how do you define "better"? intelligence level? charisma? tha ability to influence the mass and change their minds? speech-giving talent? what?

humans are not like, say, computer cpu's. a 2 gig-hz chip sure is "better" than a 1 gig. well, even that is not absolute. a 2-gig is "better" than a 1-gig only in a sense of functionality or performance. at the meantime, since it costs more, financially the 1-gig may be "superior".

I suspect he was more effective than either of us at getting people to follow him. Like I said, one can excell in certain areas, in positive and negative ways, but as far as being human goes, I don't accept the superiority of any one individual or group over everyone else across the board.

I haven't been here a while. I'm Glad a few people agree and Isher makes key points of why I started this thread. I believe thier is no Superior human to me or anybody, but in a sense that no ones life is worth more than mine.

I got it now what you mean by superiority, Isher! Probably you mean capacity of limitation of nature's gifted five senses. But if some has super-natural sixth sense, uncommon to masses...then would you call him Superior, Isher?? May be Jesus Christ has been one such person having a superior sense than common fives humen generally have!!!

The original stone tablets of the Ten Commandments are the ONLY legitimate Words of God. All texts written by man since then are exactly what the Ten Commandments said they would be, vial.

You shall have no other gods before Me & You shall not make for yourself an idol. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God.

So what happens, people write for themselves the Bible, Quran, and a variety of other texts to idolize. Leading people to believe that they will be forgiven for doing vial acts against the Ten Commandments.

In EVERY publication since the stone tablets, PEOPLE have sought to gain reverence by other people. ALL Priests, Rabis, Prophets, Preachers, and other persons and texts that admonish the Lord and God in service of their own desires, are in FACT purveyors of works AGAINST the original stone tablets.

A person can neither add to nor subtract from the words of the stone tablets without deviating from the words of God. The stone tablets are the basis for the most popular religions, and are the ONLY words directly transcribed by GOD. It can NOT be interpretated by any person, it can only be read by each person.

Nowhere in the stone tablets does it infer that ANY person shall listen to any other person for guidance. NO PERSON shall interpret the stone tablets for another person. To do so is to speak in the LORDS name.

Since no person can speak in the Lords name, then ALL prophets are purveyors of works against the words of God and the ONLY words directly written by God, the Ten Commandments.

A person can be mentally inspired, possess desire, be good intentioned, and verbally eloquent. The words transcribed upon parchment alter with language and time. God wrote its words in stone, not on parchment. The words of the Ten Commandments were intended to last for all time. I suspect the tablets still exist.

Quote by: joseph2622 The reality is that no one really knows what Jesus said because the literature keeps getting edited. Edited without God's explicit approval, and so the modern and edited bibles are unusable and worthless. Unless God himself speaks, who are we to even attempt to interpret his will? There is no way around it. No exceptions. Just as the Christians like to preach.
