With that possibility you are admitting that any other religion may be more accurate, so it's a nice thought. i like it.
It was, even I was interested in the discussion and I don't believe in the christian bible at all.
No, not more accurate, AS accurate as Hebrew. Matter of fact, when I was younger and living with mentally deficient Christians like Chucking Ass, I turned my back on Christianity. When I joined the Navy, I started to look for a spiritually based philosophy that worked for me, and I found Tao.
Now.....an interesting thing about Tao. LOTS of the concepts that are in Tao, also appear in Judaism. Not only that, but Taoists refer to their teachers as "sages". So does Judaism. I ended up coming back to investigate Christianity after I was well versed in Taoist philosophy, and was finally able to unravel a lot of the lies that are there. That in turn led to me studying Judaism.
By the way Charlie ClownAss, tell me exactly where I referred to myself as a gay person. You can't. I'm hetero, have 3 boys, and am divorced with several ladies that I like to hang out with.
You on the other hand, sound like a very bitter, very small, very angry little man.
Not sure about Egyptian mythology, there are quite a few things in there that make about as much sense as some Christians' version of the Bible. They did have pretty good science though.
BTW, the way that I ended up becoming a Christian Taoist with Jewish understanding (that's kinda what I call myself when asked my religion), was because a friend of mine looked at me and told me that I appeared to hate God. I told him about lots of experiences that I'd had (most not good). He then told me something that changed my life when he said "instead of looking at all the differences of the various religions, why not look for the similarities".
Been doing it ever since. Personally? I believe that God talks to us in a voice and language that WE PERSONALLY understand, and, just like not everyone on the planet speaks the same language, God talks to us in a lot of different ways.
People like the poster who shall not be named are the stupid ones, because as the Dali Lama once said, "all paths lead to the top of the mountain", meaning, that all religions have similarities that will eventually lead a person to God.
You really ought to check out the Universal Torah Network and Sam Peak's programs "Mysteries of the Creation".
Lots of good solid science in there. Not only that, but check out what Rabbi Greenbaum has to say about the supercollider.
Most of the Hebrew faith is very well grounded in science. But then again, Albert Einstein told us, "Science without theology is blind, and theology without science is crippled".
I personally think that science (guided by theology) is a direct pathway to figuring out how God does most things. But, just like any good Father, He's not gonna show us everything, because hey, surprises are nice.
It doesn't say that in the OT, the OT just says that He will come.
The return is referred to in the NT, because that is the book that covers His life.
And....if you don't believe in resurrection, then you aren't getting the full impact of the story. G-d HAD to resurrect Yeshua, because His mission hadn't been completed yet, as Rome and the Hebrew upper leadership united to crucify Him.
By the way.....here's an interesting thought on the Second Coming......
When Yeshua was talking to His disciples before He took off, He'd told them "I hope that you do it better and faster than I", meaning spreading the Word of God.
Now.....here's an interesting "what if".......
What if the Second Coming is someone who studies long enough to make the connections correctly, and then starts passing it to others, to unravel all the bullshit that various people had inserted into His teachings?
Maybe that is how G-d is going to do it.
Well, you know, that was one of the things that Jesus was supposed to take care of. The SanHedrin had started to corrupt the teachings of HaShem, and Jesus was supposed to correct it. Another interesting thing, is that the SanHedrin wouldn't allow Him an audience with them, so, Jesus told Judas to turn Him in so that He could come face to face with the High Priest.
Yep, you're right to take the NT with a grain of salt by the way, the Niecene council kinda saw to it that it was hopelessly mixed up with a bunch of b.s.
And....because of some of the things that I've seen in the world, I kinda believe that God brought Jesus up from the dead. Matter of fact, Jesus did it TWICE. Once when He was around 11 and one of His friends was killed in an accident. Jesus brought His friend back so that he could tell everyone that Jesus didn't kill him, and then there was Lazarus. If Jesus (Son of God) could do it, then God could also. Article of faith, I know, but it works for me.
Matter of fact, there have been some pretty strange things happen in modern times. CNN ran a story a few years back of a dude that died, was pronounced, PUT INTO A MORGUE DRAWER for 6 hours, and then found to be alive again.
On a funny side note about us pagans, the Catholics thought (and some still do) we were fooled. Have you ever looked at their art, specifically the paintings of the saints. There are pagan marking hidden in them, clear if you look for them. You could say we tried to take them over from the inside but then just grew bored and left.
You know, there are some pagan religions that actually acknowledge God and who He is, and they don't go to church. I really find it sad that the human race has been sold a bill of goods that says we can't get in touch with God unless we go through a church.
And.....another interesting thing about Catholics. They believe witchcraft is bad, and that if you can talk to animals, you're a witch. However.....the question is.....why do they hold St. Francis of Assissi in such high regard? He spoke to animals, and they spoke back to him!
Nope.....there's a LOT of stuff in Christian religions as well as Catholic religion that is a bunch of lies told to us by those that wish to remain in power.
I like pagans by the way!
You know, the Druids, Celts, and all the others you named, well...I'm sort of the mind that those religions are using nature as a way to connect with God. The only difference between magic and miracles, is who are you trying to benefit with it? If it is for yourself alone (selfish), then it's actually black magic. If you're using it to benefit everyone else? Then it's a miracle.
You know.....if Yeshua (Jesus) had shown up in America (Salem on forward), He would have also been burned at the stake, even though, He's the founder of the religion.
Satanists on the other hand......
