[QUOTE=teitan;43629]Jesus also say poor idiots keep hating you dont know what your doing while I evolve thru the crucifixion you guys stay here recycling karma.[/QUOTE]
Jesus was God Incarnate.
He had no need to “evolve” through the Crucifixion and that was not its purpose.
He laid down his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.
hahahahahah.Yes who told you that one thomas your nannie in your crib?
He was god incarnated why then he got crucified?Exactly. Are you going to tell me another child story from the gedeons?
By the way Jesus came here long ego and still people keep sining left and right budy.So where is the change? Are you afraid now? hhahaa
Thanks for mocking my faith teitan.
I will not mock whatever faith you have, in return.
I think you only know what you’ve been told, and you haven’t been told much about Christianity, apparently.
I been in church probably before you where in church.Keep yoor faith man Im not trying to put it down But exercice some logic on it come on.I love Jesus but not the puppet of Jesus that they sale in the church .I love the Jesus that is in our hearts and the jesus that once was a man and then became a god.One more time not that kid story from the church.
You don’t understand the theology. It’s not so stupid as you think. At least you should understand it’s not just an idea pulled out of someone’s arse, but one that is clearly demonstrated in scripture and oral tradition.
hahaahah.thomas is the theology of fear the story of jesus friend.
Some people are in elementary when some people are in college.and some other people are the teachers.
Teitan.
What is it you do believe about Jesus and why do you believe it?
Where did your knowledge of Jesus originate?
I did a research long ago including the church.And other many sources.
Ok originally the church eliminated few main books from the original bible .So that we wouldnt know more about Jesus.
The Church that says that Jesus is God is the same Church that was the source for your information about Jesus. Do you not believe in the Jesus of the New Testament? If you do, then the Incarnation is as clear as can be. If you don’t, then are you referring to the apocropha? And if so, why are they valid and the Gospels not?
Jesus is god so Budha,Krishna ,Mohamed,and so many others.But me to.Im That.Take a brake Thomas.and go do your hatha yoga asana that one with your legs all over your head.hahahhaha maybe that asana is responsible for making you so naive.
Im talking about the first manuscrites .from the Death Sea Thomas.And everytime the pope or whatever when to use the restroom the bible change.so yes Jesus was a man for me not just another I robot from the church.(Another invention).By the way they keep collecting money .I need to open a church and collect money myself to open a good yoga studio free of charge.

Did your research include spelling ?
The Christian churches collect money and provide community services, like feeding and sheltering the poor people. The Indian temples collect money and do not provide community services.
Ah, but the Christian churches could do quite a bit more to help the poor if they would spend less on adornment. Do they really need all the “stuff” inside their churches? Couldn’t that money be better spent?
I personally like the way the Zen Buddhists decorate. Not much of anything except and alter and a picture of the Buddha. It’s more about the dharma then the frills.
And Teitan,
Unless you were born in the early 1950’s, Thomas probably has you beat on the age thing. No need to use put downs in our discussions either.

It’s not either/or. The “adornment” aids in worship and evoking awe of God and his saints. And it’s a small expenditure compared to what goes out to aid others.
How many Buddhist hospitals are there? Where are the Buddhist shelters for the homeless? What about Buddhist crisis pregnancy centers?
Maybe there are such things, but I’ve never heard of them, but I know of thousands of Christian organizations that do these things and many more, while “adorning” their churches and honoring God in ways they think appropriate.
Thomas,
I’m not saying the church doesn’t do anything to help the poor. They do, and I realize that. All I’m saying is they could do more. Do you really need all those expensive statues, pictures, stained glass, gold chalices, and cloths to properly worship? You can be in awe of God without all of that. None of that matters at all.
I remember when I was younger and went to church with my mom and siblings. When the basket went around, we never gave because we had nothing to give. My father was quite ill and disabled. My mother had 4 young children, 2 years apart, and all under the age of 10. She couldn’t work because no one could care for us or my father. We received letter after letter from the parish priests saying if we didn’t start contributing we could no longer attend the catholic grade school we all went to. My parents did pay a small amount to send us there and my Aunt paid for the rest. The parish priests all knew about our situation and still kept sending us threatening notes. We got no food or any type of assistance from them. Anything we did get came from friends. While I don’t feel this happens all over, I wanted to share this with you so you can understand why I made that statement. Even when I was a practicing Catholic Thomas, I never understood the need for all the adornment. I always thought the money could go to better use. But this is my opinion.
The catholic church is monumental in comparison to Buddhism. Buddhist do things on a much smaller scale in communities.
