Gospel of John, Chapter Two, Verse Nineteen:
Jesus said, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."
This is just one of the prophecies Jesus has made that seem to point to the idea of him having known, from time, that he'd be resurrected. Or, at least, that's how the Gospel...
It still blows my mind, every time, when I think about the fact that people place more emphasis on Paul (who came in later, after Jesus' death, and never even met Jesus) than on Peter and James (who were clearly given authority by Jesus). If Paul was to come and have authority, wouldn't Jesus...
It wouldn't surprise you to know that you probably triggered old Jayhawker to make this thread, right?
True, true. It's just basic science. What we could do is decrease the temperature... that might work.
Oh. Well, in that case, I'll have to agree with you until someone can provide evidence to the contrary.
It seems that the Holy Land really is for Abraham's Children, which includes Arabs.
Yes, it does. Compassion, after all, is the only "true" religion.
Also, I'd like you to check out Luke 12:35-48, in which he says that the people who are unaware of the truth (whatever that truth may be) and transgress are punished much less than the people who are aware and still transgress...
Well, Zoroastrianism isn't Abrahamic, yet some Zoroastrians seem to believe in eternal punishment.
That might be where the Abrahamics took it from, actually.
I'm very curious about what will happen when the current Dalai Lama passes away. Will there be two successors? One from the Chinese government and one appointed by the Religion?
I know, I know. I'm fairly familiar with Spong.
But you know, as well as I do, that Jesus never taught virgin birth, or that he was the "Saviour". Or the Trinity, or any (non-Jewish) rituals... or 90% of what's taught in "Christianity".
But he DID teach God as "ground of being", I'd say.
