Risen from the dead like this ? accnorwalk.com
it seems only to divide human beings to this day to see them all want to believe in such a fable. When the actual story of resurrection began so many centuries before with India's messiah Krishna, and the Lord Buddha...or from the many many other resurrection stories from out of Egypt , Greece and Persia . Almost every one of those earlier stories the same as the Christian , verbatim, for that's where they came from.
Such beliefs only stem from an innate desire to perpetuate the myths of being "Chosen Ones " . Meant originally to separate themselves from the condemned and wicked , it has created far more wrong than good.
In the modern world such notions are your right to believe in , but will not survive much longer. They are intrinsically foolish , wrong to teach your children or preach.... and much, much more. It even divides Christian from Christian as you pointed out.
To further such a myth of exclusion , based solely on such limited view of God , must really test your powers of compassion to see the door only open to those who believe as you , and in your mind all others damned to eternal hell .
But it is only in your mind where it is true ... the way may be narrow and hard , but not that hard to perpetuate such foolishness now .
Something that was never original, but from a part of the world where the life and preservation of the tribe was paramount...and later an empire.

PS: People will always more easily congregate, when they learn to choose and to celebrate life together beyond that Tower of Babbel , that such beliefs foster. There always was a common thread, but there still remains so much ancient suspicion and resentments in that dogma that leads the tribes of that world make war to this day...instead of finding common ground. |
