Surely he knows who he is. It’s kind of sad actually he will never be able to tell anybody. But like I said, it’s probably good because some sicko would try to harm him. Also when somebody talks, that way, I believe they can be locked up in a psych ward.Ok, thanks for sharing.
I can appreciate that. You seem like someone with a bit of wisdom. May I ask what is your concern more specifically?Not unease, maybe concern for your spiritual discernment. But it’s your life, your choice, not my business.
The only issue I would offer, is that your understanding of this is relative and is not as a divinly given source.I believe there’s only one path that lies in truth. The rest are embellished stories that are meant only to introduce the people of the world to the spiritual realm.

That you’ll be led away from Jesus Christ. That is my main concern.I can appreciate that. You seem like someone with a bit of wisdom. May I ask what is your concern more specifically?
Do you see the similarities between the men we proclaim to be god in the flesh?That you’ll be led away from Jesus Christ. That is my main concern.
No. I believe Jesus was/is one of a kind. He demonstrated this by overcoming death.Do you see the similarities between the men we proclaim to be god in the flesh?
I think the church does a good job in trying to get the truth out there through the message of Jesus Christ but I do think they could do better. They can change a little bit and try to deliver the truth in a different way. I’m not sure as to how they could do that, but I don’t think they’re doing the best job that they could to tell the truth. I sense a yearning in sermons. I sense this yearning to yell out and cry out the truth, but they don’t because they’re bound by Christianity. Some pastors come close if you listen. I like those pastors that push the boundaries a bit. Its almost as if they want to come out and say hey look people there’s a man on earth right now who is god in the flesh whom we call Jesus. They drive home that Jesus is God in the flesh that he’s a living Lord and so on and so forth. it’s quite obvious. They’re getting there. They’re getting better. And I think they will get better and better at delivering the truth while still keeping it in the boundaries of Christianity.That you’ll be led away from Jesus Christ. That is my main concern.
I believe the man I speak of overcame death as well. The only difference is you give him a name and I don’t.No. I believe Jesus was/is one of a kind. He demonstrated this by overcoming death.
I agree with that, but today they’re called mentally ill with a messiah complex. Nevertheless, I believe there’s one who is and he knows it. Furthermore he would never reveal himself to the world because he knows he would just be chalked up as someone with a Messiah complex. He’d be far too wise for that nonsense. Also, I’m not saying look here Is the Christ, as I’m not pointing out anybody in particular in which that quote means. I’m just saying he’s out there somewhere. You say Jesus Christ will return with a new earth and new heaven where I would say this man will return with a new earth and new heaven. It’s the same thing.
But I do believe that God gave humanity Christianity to give us a little clue and to hint at what the truth was. God couldn’t have told us the truth, and who this man was because some sicko unfortunately would probably try to harm this man. God is no dummy that’s for certain
Actually, I think Christianity would benefit greatly if it revised its whole outlook and came out and said that they believe that God in the flesh is living on earth today. They can still keep the story of Christianity as its foundation. But explain to people how the church now believes that God wanted humankind to see the actual truth and that’s how God did it through the story of Jesus Christ. There would be no shame in that. I think it would enlighten a lot of people actually. I think it would bring a lot to Christianity. Christianity‘s numbers are dwindling where Islam is rising. Ultimately it doesn’t matter because this man is going to die anyway, but what I’m trying to say is change is possible. I think a huge Christian upheaval would ultimately merge as a worldwide triumphant faith. Christianity has always been interpreted differently as time marches forward. Islam should think about changing as well. Our time here on earth is limited, but if God had given us more time, ultimately all of these religions by the book would fall by the wayside.No. I believe Jesus was/is one of a kind. He demonstrated this by overcoming death.
Life’s a repeating cycleWhat if we are what you suggest he is, and none are exempt from that type of ongoing existence, whether next round be judged good or bad? How am I supposed to understand that every eye will seem him, yet none are to believe that any one person is him? I think we pedestal people too much sometimes, although plenty of people deserve credence. Jesus deserved/deserves some credence, as do many others and while I don't know how it possible for us to be made new creations whilst retaining our self-identification, others do believe this. I'm not sure how it all works, but I'm thinking life is ongoing, whether we get another round 10 years after we greet the other side of life in sleep, or 1000 years, or a million, or a billion. I'm thinking it's the spiritual quality and characteristics that continue, the flesh profits nothing, aside from being the vessel these characteristics and qualities operate in and through. That's the about the best way I know to make sense of eternal life, at least in a way that would accommodate some real time rest after the ride of a lifetime.
I have been. Christianity has been failing. It doesn’t fail when I view it as a hidden message” but that gets tiresome. Also knowing that many Christian’s don’t see the hidden meaning and many are leaving the faith it kind of takes the joy out of it,Put your path to the test. Keep that which is useful and cast aside that which fails
I think he means himself.Me either. What do you mean by "All of existence rises and falls with the birth and death of one man who lives on earth today and repeats itself, obviously, in an infinite cycle."
Not really. Both have a savior. Both have a loving god. Those two things are hardly surface similarities@King Phenomenon -
You really don’t see how other than perhaps some surface similarities your “old path” is incompatible with Christianity?
Do you really think that?I think he means himself.
