NO religion, save Christianity, has had a Son of God who was crucified and raised from the dead, ascended into Heaven at the right side of God and rules in their heart and mind today.
Actually Santiago , there are religions that have that very thing , and did long before Christianity . And they are still as vitally alive today and undergoing their own rennaisances , evolution & distillations into the 21rst century and beyond .
Just as Christianity has learned to grow up.
There was nothing trite or banal about the statement that Jesus was just a "man" and a teacher . It is not my thought alone but a thought that has come into being in some of the greatest minds the world has yet seen . From our greatest artist, statesmen, philosophers, and scientists.
I also disdain the teachings of where Islam originated and certainly to not attribute a tentmaker in the 16 century as being one who was given Holy law by God.
Mohammed only being a lowly tentmaker and couldn't possibly have recieved some revelation from God , I might point out to you that Jesus was a just a carpenter and
lived 600yrs earlier or so.
But I'll let you ponder that in your own time . |
