What has happened to that man [b]Jesus Christ is that God has made Him universalized.
We know that a typical man can only talk to one or two people at a time. When person A has his attention he relinquishes his involvement, and person B may commence to hold his attention.
This is how a typical man may interact with one or two people at a time ...[text shortened]... rips of the 1960s, I will not do so here. It is not something of which I am proud.[/b]

Don't!
Going off topic is what is devaluing the Spirituality Forum. nothing can be debated without someone changing the subject, wires get crossed, the original point is lost and everyone gets annoyed.
Just start a new thread for Christ's sake!

Am I on the right track with this, because if I am then I would have a follow up question.

This parable in Luke is quite applicable to my personal experience:
[b]" And He told them this parable, saying, Which man of you, who has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-n sus.
[b]" ... the last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45) [/b]

OK.
I cant quite seem to recall the actual thread I am referring to and this latest post reveals a little more to me.
thankyou, by the way. As I have said before , you sound as one that has been truly transformed by Jesus.
Now I dont believe in Jesus like you believe in Jesus. I believe he was possibly a "buddha" and certainly a boddhisatava, to us ay) to find enlightenment.
I cannot see it as only JC being the only one like him.

Do you not admit the possibility that there was ever anyone who was as "powerful" as Jesus?
All the masters are different and individual and have their own slant on the truth, but thats the way I see it. That there are various "universal masters" who all have found the "secret way" (in their own way) to find enlightenment.
I cannot see it as only JC being the only one like him.

You might say Jesus the Christ is like "Buddha". However, do you know
of any "Buddha" that claimed to be "the Son of God" or predicted he would
rise from the grave after three days or is reported to have ascended into
heaven after his resurrection. Are not all of the Buddhas still in their grave?
You can still visit the empty tomb of Jesus (Yahshua) in ...[text shortened]... Do any of the Buddhas have anything like "the Shroud of Turin" or
"the Sudarium"?

I don't know why he keeps talking about the shroud of Turin.

Just because Jesus claimed to be the way to god, does not mean he delivered either.
Originally posted by Faith No MoreThe story begins in Genesis 1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
How did giving his life save humanity from our sinful nature and why do you say their and not our are you not part of humanity?
I know this seems odd but I really do not know the tale of jesus

If you were to go to see the tomb of Tutankhamen (not sure if you actually can) then you would find it empty.
The body and sarcophagus have been removed.
This doesn't mean that Tutankhamen rose from the dead, it just means he has been removed from his tomb.
(and we only know this because we have the records of removing hi existence of god and that this god inspired the bible it's just an old book, nothing more.
