And if it is your premise to believe that there's a Mind , a higher intelligence behind all that exists in the universe, then you have completely opened the doors to everyone who has a mind being part of the story, there cannot be any atheists then, since all who possess a mind will be part of that greater mind. This idea of bioLogos or Universal Mind is Greek thinking in origin anyways, so you are espousing pagan theology/philosophy in any case.
If you make Jesus a qualifier , the best he said on the Sermon on the Mount was the Golden Rule, sorry Elmer, i for one figured that out when still a young child before any priest got hold of me. Had something to do with good sound ranchers influences, wise old grandmothers, fathers & men who brought back the lessons of war & secular teachers that also reinforced one of mankind's most universal wisdoms of mutual treatment & human caring.
I did not need "Gods Word" to learn that one simplest & greatest of inherent wisdom. |
