It depends what message you refer to. The people who have died from snake bites because they believed Jesus existed and because they believed the nonsense attributed to Him, would have been better off reading Ben Franklin or Voltaire or Ralph Emerson. Paul believed in Jesus for the best of reasons. Through direct experience he was transformed. He was bitten by a poison snake and nearly died, but survived, without Franklin, Voltaire or Emerson. That leather book and many others contain wisdom and insights if you know how to discern them. It states that Jesus could perform very few miracles in his own home region. Why? Our belief blinds an awareness with free choice from realities it has already pre-judged. The elder woman, bleeding for 12 years was not so bound by prejudice of belief. She was in need. Key. She knew in her deepest awareness that if he was real and she could just touch the hem of his robe she would be healed. In a vast crowd she moved forward and touched him. His reply? Thronged with masses he said, 'Who touched me?' What did the disciples say? Master there are so many around many touch you. He turned and saw her and said, 'Your faith has made you whole.' He asked of others, 'What faith is this?' He was here to demonstrate he was not here to prove anything. The heart or the mind. To BE or NOT to BE, truly was the demonstration. Black and white for bystanders is not possible. Reality is experiencial. You wish to learn science you apply yourself and study. One does the same with God. We tune our dial of possibilities to a particular frequency. What we are able to receive is thus dependent upon that choice. The experience of what we refer to as God is not exclusive of science or evolution or any thing in this physical world. Look at Al Einstein he was certainly not an atheist though he would make use of physical remedies. Arguments are just that. Your quest will never be achieved within their grasp. The quantum leap... Heaven or Hell each day must we choose as we walk the narrow winding path to the center of left and right. Quote, Solid
