Another simple tie in observation to what i was saying, since you might be paying attention to respectful discourse for once instead of coming here to disrupt & name call, how does the scripture go?
For God So Loved The World ...that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Well, we certainly have here one big beautiful, perfect example of what i was getting the essence of, here's your own scripture in bold beginning saying its "The World" that God so loved. That doesnt sound like an earth centered religion to you? If not then you'll have to excuse me for the rest of the day , for it sure sounds world centered to me. And what makes your earth centered religion & messiah any better than the ones that preached love & kindness before, he was late to that party by 1000yrs easily. ( Jain saints from India go back to 1400Bc)
I could go on to discuss this is also like an expanded mind/body/spirit discussion, we have the World which is filled with marvelous things ( evolving) both physical & in one sense spirit ,life has an energy & variety , then we have the reality of Nature & she is nobody's bitch.
(Nobody needs to hear that crackpot Lane Craig go into who created it all nonsense, thats far too removed to mean anything to anyone, and only to a primitive does eternal life mean anything , beyond anyone's power to imagine) |
