Quote from rcanfiel:
I read your followon answers, and it still boils down to your claim to be Jesus. You treat the scripture as something to which you are superior. I say otherwise.
Otherwise, you remain deluded as to your identity.
Reading the Bible is like playing russian roulette. If you accept a false belief into the chamber of your mind and pull the trigger, it can kill you.
For example, if you accept the belief that God banished Adam from the garden of Eden, and that he was justified in doing so because Adam was guilty, this belief will literally kill you...or at least what you've made of yourself. But "you" are not a body.
The belief will kill you over and over and over again...because 'you' cannot be killed any more than the Romans were able to kill 'me'.
But if you believe something false, you will stay in the grave, whereas, I was not willing to stay in the tomb. If you believe something false, you will 'resurrect', but not in the same way I did. Birth is the continuation of a mind-set that believes something false. But you are not born to 'live'. You are born to die.
To be born again means you recognize your original birthright, and with it, your immortality. You cannot recognize it while you entertain the idea that your Father would banish you. Guilt is like a bullet lodged in your mind, that imposes death. But since you cannot change your immortal nature, you must concieve of "birth" as a body, deluding yourself that this is "you". And now "you" can be killed. So long as you keep the bullet of guilt in the chambers of your mind, you will remain "unregenerate", and continue to shoot yourself in the foot you made.
The Bible will kill you if you do not read it right. Many of it's passages represent bullets. If you take the whole magazine and load it into your mind without discrimination, your obstinence will pull the trigger.
The beliefs loaded into the Bible are there because the mind that makes this world and it's Bible believes these things, and is in the process of killing itself. The Bible contains ammo. The ammo dump is called 'holy', keeping the ammo nearby, at arms length. Many of the 'guilty' will not go anywhere without their ammo. The Bible and bullets are graven out of the imagination.
The body is a graven image once removed from reality. Words are fashioned by bodies, making them twice removed from reality. This makes a book a graven image that will either kill you, or point you to the truth, depending on how you look at it.
All I am doing is talking you out of a kind of suicide. That's all I've ever done.
You are not the Son of a book. You are not the son of man. You are superior to any of these concepts.
Jesus
