"I am the way, the truth, and the life."

[Douger]

I heard a certain Gawd ( to some) say it this way.
" You're either with us or against us."

 

[editec]

It means

 

[RetiredGySgt]

There is nothing cult about truth. Truth is truth.

If used to have people follow.... it IS a cult.


No one in a cult ever sees the truth of it being a cult. .....That is the truth.

So Governments are cults? Book clubs? So on and so forth?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

It is a sentence taken out of context that conveniently ignores the most important following statement that was said by Jesus. He was the last sacrifice. The final priest that tells us to call no man Father.

He was a ....priest?


Wouldn't he have been a rabbi? He was jewish after all ya know.

Same thing dumb ass. A priest leads a congregation in the Catholic religion, a Rabbi leads a Jewish Congregation in the Jewish religion.

 

[Douger]

.....and Dubya led meatheads like the Retarded Gay Sergeant.

 

[Sky Dancer]

Yet in the context of the saying "the Truth" means more than what he is saying is true. Just as the "Word" means more than what is written down or said.

IMO, this statement Jesus made is a pointing out instruction. It is NOT a commandment to worship Jesus.

It is telling us that God is within us now.

I don't think Jesus intended for people to worship him and create a religion out of his teachings.

Tell me , Skydancer, what do YOU think it means?

 

[BDBoop]

Can anybody tell me which comic spoke about how indigent people had to kill missionaries really-really fast!! Because if they got a chance to speak, you were going to hell.

Anybody?

 

[Sky Dancer]

Tell me , Skydancer, what do YOU think it means?

I've already said what I think it means. I think Jesus came to show he was God and man, and that we are one and the same.

I don't think he came to be worshipped as a god or to start a religion. I think he came to wake people up to what we truly are in our essence.

I don't believe in original sin, so I don't think he came as a savior or redeemer in the way that Christianity teaches.

Okay. Now you just need to understand that what you do or don't believe means nothing.

Were did you get that from? Catechism? Please.

Do follow the thread. jesus was called a priest.

Considering he was jewish..... priest does not fit.

dumb ass.

Sounds like a good description of myself!

GOD commands, Jesus gives us a choice. He also made it possible for us Gentiles to have salvation. It is confusing, but in the end it all comes down to faith, faith in the Lord and his teachings, the Truth.

Why don't recovering Buddhists ever unleash on islam?

dumb ass.

Check out the book of Hebrews, as one example, for the number of times priests and High priests are mentioned.

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus

Here's a better question....

Why don't bitchy Christians start countless threads attempting to trip up Buddhists on their beliefs?

I don't agree with you about a commanding god. Jesus message is beautiful, but the religion is not. I don't think Jesus wanted to be worshiped or made into a religion at all.

What I do or don't believe means nothing to you but a lot to me.
