do you ever "think about" the things you just take for granted about the story of jesus?.
there are things about christianity which should make honest thinkers scratch their head in wonder.. **.
when beloved (or hated) public figures are murdered (or executed), some rather large waves of reaction ensue.. there are two kinds of outcry both speculative and descriptive.
Terry, Vincent Bugliosi' book Reclaiming History: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy,puts all the pieces together.If you having read it I recommend it. It's a long one, however the best one out there and it satisfied me. The things people believe about JESUS is a take your pick i.e. he is a trinity no he is not. Which is it?

loving and forgiving are a huge component of jesus' message to his disciples.. in answer to the question as to how many times forgiveness should be offered to an offender, jesus gave the reply, "seventy (times) seven.
" (variously interpreted as either 77 times or a multiple of 70 times 7).. an example is given of a man who owed a considerable sum of money whose debt was forgiven.
this man failed to forgive a much smaller debt owed to him.
Read the book Misquoting Jesus. Bart D.Ehrman. Just one word.Pseudepigraphy. Later.
pay attention to what you are told, and how it is presented.. what is the actual message being communicated?
what is the intention behind it?.
this 128-page book millions now living will never die, was placed with the people on a contribution of 25c a copy.. .
How many times have we said,"If I knew then what i know now".??? So many years lost. For me over 33 years thinking about that promise.I'm 69 years old now and I know for certain that i will die as everything else does and on and on it goes.

i've always wondered that.
recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.
cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?
For the time being at the age of 69 I have come to the conclusion that some questions are just unanswerable. I have come to accept that some things are unknowable at this time. I can live with that. This topic has been an eye-opener for me. I still remain in the unknowable place. Thanks its been interesting. Blueblades
