How can the bible be ALL the word of God when it was written by the hand of man.? The trick is to filter man out. |

Forget what christians say or think. Don't pick on them, they're confused. Try seeking the real message of jesus. He rose from the dead =before= he was crucified. He got himself a first class spiritual awakening and passed it on to others. He also explained spiritual concepts. He had to be crucified , he had to allow that to happen to him, or he would have faded into history with all the other faith healers wandering around back then. The apostles probably hid his body, the body don't mean anything anyway. Then they built a religion around it, but at the core theres something true but its at the very core. A couple of layers out from Jesus and anyone ( not dogmatic) can see the core spirituality becomes a prey to religious manipulation. |
