Re: Did a historical Jesus exist? by Jim Walker (editor) http://nobeliefs.com/exist.htm My scholarly work?? I wish it was because that would make me the greatest historian ever -- not just greatest historian on Christianity ever if I could have dug up that information on the historicity of Jesus. Unfortunately, I just report the news. I don't make it, but you can kill the messenger if it makes you feel better. While you are at it you can shake the hands of your Muslim brothers who believe in the "religion of peace,", and refuse to look at the historical record that the founder of their religion, Mohammed ibn Abdallah "PBUH" was nothing more than a mass murderer, robber, and rapist whose philosophy and preachings are akin to Nazism.
So you want me to do your bidding too? Besides that, it would be like inside information. The nature of inside info is that it is unshared, whereas the Kingdom is the sharing of all with all. A miracle teaches about the Kingdom, so it is a lesson in sharing. If I gave it to you, I'd have to give it to everyone. Now how would that effect the market? Miracles are not for coercing belief. They are solutions showing the Son of God that he has no problems. Finances are not a problem when the Son of God devotes himself to healing...which is his only function on earth. Healing most resembles creation in a world that lacks any real creativity. Since creating is the Son's function in heaven, healing the world awakens him to himSelf. You could have everything if you were willing to share everything. The market is for experiencing emotions that do not exist in heaven. So it has a function without my intervention. Feel the emotions for what they are, and let them go. Let them go as the answer to a question you wanted answered. The feelings of greed and fear are not felt by Christ. Neither does Christ strive to earn or pay for anything because he *owns* literally everything. Therefore the market is not something to "beat", but something to be experienced and then let go as valueless to yourSelf. Jesus
Agreeably, God cannot be "born" since the mind cannot make flesh real. But my truth is everyone's truth. If it is impossible for Christ [reality] to be born of flesh, so too it is impossible that anyone be born of flesh. This is a long way of saying the world does not exist! It is a figment in Christ's imagination. It means nothing, and never happened. It is utterly hypothetical and will pass away. Indeed, it already has. Jesus
I appreciate the encouragement Turok, but it really isn't necessary. What I wrote was written for you and those like you! It wasn't written for Jem, Blackhorseshoe, Traderzones, or those like them.
Turok is little more than an unqualified skeptic. If you actually say something that is sound, then it might have merit. Your offerings proved little.

Rcanfiel: >Quoting the work of another as if that is any kind >of definitive answer does not make you a messenger; >it makes you a rather poor researcher. I think I'm going to repost this quote the next time Rcan trots out his sacred scriptures to provide a "definitive answer" (it won't be long now). Talk about saying one thing and doing another -- Rcan's in a zone on this one. JB
