Quote from musclemoney:

The "last laugh days?" I don't think anyone will be laughing. Non-believers will be crying, and believers will be rejoicing. As behold, the second coming of Christ will be upon us. He will take us home. Until then people will try to rationalize the following, and suffer:

The division of Christ between "believers and non-believers" decimates his eternal Oneness. Reality is not dependant on whether you believe it or not. You see an insane world because you believed not in reality. And now you would condemn "unbelievers" for what you have been doing since the foundation of your world? Who is the unbeliever? Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give reality to the insane, and you will be given sanity in return.

There is no condemnation in Christ [Reality]. So hell must be an unreal fantasy of condemnation, justified by unreal circumstances. Nothing can separate anything from the love of Christ. Overlooking Paul's mind-munching mistakes made by attempting to serve two masters, he at least got this right: Nothing can separate "us" from the love of Christ.

We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a this year's fact. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years.
-- Robert Green Ingersoll,
 
Quote from ownedu:

A childish interpretation of the word.. all it meant in the original Hebrew was born again.. just like born again Christians today doesn't literally mean resurrected from the dead

You are correct. Resurrection is a state of mind describing a shift from asleep to awake. Resurrection of a body is a parable/parody, demonstrating the miraclulous power of an awake mind. This means, before a body can be resurrected, mind must already be awake. Of all the male desciples, Thomas understood this most. It is the wish to have a glorious body that causes desciples to misinterpret resurrection. Such an interpretation was a favorite among the Pharisee, and found it's way into a neo-judaistic theology. This actually prevents resurrection-by-truth, and perpetuates resurrection-by-reincarnation.

It is the same as to be born again. Awakening sees there is no past. And for that matter, no future. All is always in eternity. State of grace, born again, resurrected...these are all the same thing describing a timeless existence within time...in the world but not of the world...in transit from the world...in exodus.

Faith works to prepare *the Way* for grace to open a previously closed mind. The cluttered table of mis-thought must be cleared, and a place of welcome be made. And when it arrives, it is very suddenly, and quietly, like a thief in the night, so-to-speak. This is the great "day of the Lord", making Lords out of those who sup with me.

Perhaps you are not aware just how atheistic is a belief in a god who both blesses and curses. *Our Father* blesses only. Atheists insists there is no such God, and multiply words to justify the behavior of an idol.

.....and more flawed logic.

Bible bashers, always attempting to 'sell' their religion, especially to the gullible.
