I can only interpret "the resurrection" in only one way . In fact the only one way it can be interpreted .
There will be other messiahs & enlightened teachers/master , and have already been , many .
After me , others will come like me . There , the riddle is solved . There will be others that will come to do greater deeds than i have done . etc etc.
It's evolution you know . Christianity as Islam is stuck on the myth of the prophet , stuck in his myth . Myths are real in their time and place. Priest /clerics have a vested interest in keeping them alive too. Wrre like little children in this myth preserving.<g>
The Jew will be waiting forever for their messiah ...but that is to the advantage of the zealous to keep what myths they have intact. But in one sense not ok, for it shuts out too much.
That God participates in the Universe is unique to Christianity ? Hardly.
The universe is the universe , and participates in the
universe . What does that mean ? Oh that man begins to see 2000yrs ago , a morality based on a "totality " .
That's fine and well and good ...and as it should be . Evolution ya know ! What one would expect from a tribal walking upright hominid , that after a few 100k yrs begins to civilize himself down , and write his thought down and presverve them , and codify his surroundings and himself.
All very holy stuff, and so is everyday childbirth without the virgin mother and "holy spirit " ..
