My views are the same views as Jesus. These views are much more nuanced, more accurate, and more effective than the major philosophies floating in the world when Jesus arrived for the last time. Did Jesus borrow ideas from any of these? Possibly. They may have inspired him to ask more...

This thread is about McCain. Go back to nitro's "Is God deaf?".

The baseline could be "heaven vs hell", but you are not agreeing with me just what is hell, and so, will probably not agree what is heaven. You should read all my responses here, not just the ones to you. I said THIS IS HELL. "You", are already "here". I call it the "proverbial hell" because...

The general principle is this: Everything that is/was true for Jesus, is true for you. All conditions that applied to him apply to you. All current conditions that belong to Jesus belong to you. Therfore, you cannot be a man.

Well, it should be obvious then, that you are trying to save man, or at least a few of them, and include yourself among them. Buddha's understanding was good, but Jesus' understanding was better. Good luck getting Buddha's understanding from Buddhists and good luck getting Jesus' understanding...

So yes, time is more like a hologram. Everything time can contain is contained in the holographic simutaneousness. Time does not pass, but rather, we worm through time like a worm eats through an apple. The worm appears to move as it consumes various aspects of time. The experience of time is...

So the good news, as I understand it, is that salvation is universal. (That, actually, was the more orthodox position, back when Origen was talking about it, before the orthodoxy evolved, and Origen was no longer considered orthodox. ) The bad news is that this world, as we think we know it, is...

Interesting that the Jesus Seminar gives credence to Gospel of Thomas and Q document. I'm not a member that group, btw. If you can believe it, the source of the 5% figure is the author of the Gospel of Thomas, which is also the source of the 70%/30% figure for his/her own book of quotations...

Yes, that would be the group I was referring to. Here is some idea of "sapiential eschatology". "Apocalyptic eschatology is world-negation stressing imminent divine intervention: we wait for God to act; sapiential eschatology is world-negation emphasizing immediate divine imitation: God...

Put up the quotes or shut up.

I do have an original take on the subject, and rely on that for the 5% figure. That source claims to have been very close to the original source (Jesus) and the "Gospel of Thomas", which was a book of 100% quotations consisting of about 70% authentic and 30% spurious (added by idiots with...

So you came up with ONE QUOTE from someone who didn't show up on the scene till 20 years after Jesus' resurrection. ONE QUOTE from a Johnny-come-lately who was given more press than all actual apostles combined. My point still stands, even though I misremembered how few quotes the apostate...

What do you mean by "irrelevant"?

Interesting backlash. I view Mohammed's plagiarism as a kind of backlash, borrowing from Jewish and Christian folklore to give us a testosterone-on-steroids new religion in the 7th century. In the 19th century, another derivative of Judeo-Christian literature/culture/style mushroomed up out...

The idea that prostitutes could be closer to the Kingdom Of God than certain kinds of religious hypocrites IS A BIBLICAL CONCEPT.

If only the apostate Paul would have taken your advice. This reminds me of the time someone quoted the bible when I was teaching two or three people, and said Jesus said it. I said Paul said it. He tried to argue with me so I proposed a bet, like $50. He thought he knew the bible like you...

Not An Argument. I stand by every word, every iota of a word that I said.

The bible is to Jesus what CNN is to Trump. I estimate only 5% of what it says Jesus says...is what he said. That can be reduced zero when you surround true text with "con"text. Worse, Paul doesn't even quote Jesus at all and poses as a news anchor, only its fake news. Don't even get me...

Russian prostitutes are closer to the Kingdom of God than ye hypocrites groveling at the alter of the MSM!
