Taken me a lifetime to believe as I do and I still have questions

I'll say this, independent thinkers are not usually followers in a crowd.

I am, but that's only because I have a lousy sense of direction.

So if he's already alive, why discussion about his return?

What does an "immortal body" look like?

It's because He is alive that there is discussion about His return. And those who don't believe in the resurrection deny that He will return. And JWs who say that Jesus rose as a spirit and is in heaven as a spirit, the Archangel Michael, say that Jesus has already returned invisibly in 1914.
But I have not seen an immortal body and so cannot say what it looks like.

I don't believe in Christianity, Jesus or the bible because they are faith-based beliefs and cannot be proven by traditional means. The bible knowing this would be an issue and to compensate for this void of tangible truth puts nicely in a message blessed be the one's who believe by faith alone.

I don't have anything against Christianity, Jesus or the bible except that they require faith and tradition to make it meaningful and persuasive. I'll say this, independent thinkers are not usually followers in a crowd.

The crowd seem to be following each other into not believing in places.

Memories are notoriously faulty. Speaking for myself, if I'm unsure of something I think I know or believe, I brush up on it for sure. Sometimes what I thought I knew turned out to be something different than what I remembered. Sometimes when reading things, we glean what we want from the material based on our own internal narratives or biases we had at the time of reading when the truth or point of the matter was something different. Hindsight and open mindedness is a great tool to take advantage of. Might be time to revisit the topic

I believe it has been a long time since I had the course in Anthropology in college but in current terms wikipedia says this: Archaeological anthropology, often termed as "anthropology of the past," studies human activity through investigation of physical evidence

You have this wrong. It is not the size of the total brain they are considering. It is the size of the cerebral cortex. While the total size of elephant brains may be bigger, their cortex is considerably smaller.

I believe you know more than me on that. So how does one identify a cortex from a skull, since the brain is dust?

 

[Muffled]

You are the only one who beieves that.

The thing about "anthropologists" is untrue.
Where did you get it, a comic book?

But " you don't remember". Convenient.

A half remembered sonething from a forgotten source reworked so it fits into your narrative, then presented
as Fact- and a brainless fallacy of them scientists
sos even you can see how dumb they are at a glance...

And you believe that isn't making things up.

And will never agree it's not true.

Some down time in self examination seems called for.

I believe I know the difference and I am not responsible for the nonsense that others believe about me.

IF you know the difference but keep
making things up anyway that
hardly improves things.

The thing you said about anthropologists is
Is garbage.

Someone just made it up. Who?
In view of your track record and the imptobability
of anything but a comic book or chick tract publishing
it looks like you made it up.

You posted it, wont retract it or
acknowledge its false.

Can't take responsibility for your own words.

It's others' fault if they see that.


America's Admiral Richover had a relevant saying:

" Dont tell me it's not your responsibility!
If you are not responsible, you are irresponsible!"

Seriously?

Faith is a positive thing if it is supported by reason, otherwise, it is simply a blind-faith and is akin to having no faith in other words it is building a house on sand, that can't be the house of Israelite Messiah, please, right?

Yeshua (s/o Mary)- the truthful Israelite Messiah, timely warned his followers to refrain from " building a house on sand " , yet Hellenist Paul, his associates and the Pauline-Christian- Church kept on inventing fake stories " in the name of Jesus", right?
