You are hilarious.
Did you miss the part where I pointed out that I was doing PRECISELY WHAT YOU DO ON A REGULAR BASIS???

I find it hilarious when you try to condemn others for their actions, when YOU YOURSELF are guilty of what you condemn.

And for the record, what I did wasn't "dishonest".

You haven't a clue what "dishonest" means.

dishonest: characterized by lack of truth, honesty, or trustworthiness

What I did wasn't "dishonest". It was just something you didn't like...

You just hijacked the thread and turned it into a personal attack. If you don't wish to debate the topic, then start your own. You're looking pretty small.

Considering how many times YOU YOURSELF have hi-jacked threads to discuss other things, and then you complain about others doing it TO MIMIC YOU, you're looking positively microscopic.

I think I've proven my point.
And now it's time to prove another point...

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I think that was one of the most amusing things about the reasoning why Alias started this thread...

I don't think it ever dawned on him that it could be a completely pointless thread.

I have no disagreement with him that the bible states that Jesus is the Son of God and is God in the flesh.

Jesus never stated that he is God in the flesh (the way you are interpreting it)


WE NEED TO USE OUR POWER OF DISCERNMENT!


Discern: to separate


The reason people believe that Christ claimed to be God in the flesh is because the Catholic Church was confused about Christ's teachings.

The Catholic Church was an invention of the State.....not an invention of Mystics.

Christ was a mystic (secret)....and his teachings contain the hidden mystery of the mystics.

And that mystery is the secret of you.


Let me explain it to you this way (you are under no obligation to believe me)........


Example: John 14

10 ........the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.


Jesus is saying that God lives within him.

This is not the same as saying that he is the "one" god.....and you are not.

From the Baghavad Gita (Indian religion derived from the Vedas i.e, ancient scripture dating back 10,000 bc)


For I am Brahman (GOD)
Within this body,
Life immortal
That shall not perish:
I am the Truth
And the Joy forever!



Abraham comes from the word "Brahman"...the Creator (GOD).

A Brahman is also a Vedic Priest.

They traveled out of India and into Mesopotamia and all the way to the shores Mediterranean.

They worshipped the one true eternal God.

All of the "Gods" of India are incarnations of the one true God....as well ....all of the people, the animals and the universe itself is all a manifestation of the one true eternal GOD.


You are an incarnation of this one true God.

He is you....you are him.


The name of GOD is ......I AM.

When you say "I" you are referring to this thing.....it is at the center of your eternal soul.

It is your true identity....not the phony "self" that you believe yourself to be.



------------
