Robert you are so right about your understanding of faith. My definition of faith is a system of belief which may be true or false. Knowledge is an awareness within your inner self. You base your faith entirely on your study of the bible and your interpretation highly based on tradition and your environment. If your interpretation is correct you deny what the scripture says. The Apostle Paul tells us that God is in us. My original post had this info which you so adroitly avoided. Paul says we will have the mind of "Christ" If you dared you could check history back for thousands of years before Christ and find there were identical situations of at least 20 saviors and sons of God born of a virgin mary. The four primary components of the Gospel Jesus are: soteriology, which comes from the mystery-cults; ethics, which came primarily from India; eschatology, largely derived from Persia; and the supernatural Messianic concept, which was an Essene adaptation of a Zoroastrian doctrine. The one essential element which gives vitality to the religion is the faith in Him as the savior, that is the God-man who sacrificed himself for us, whose eucharist makes us divine, and who confers upon us resurrection and blessed immortality. (It is the Zoriasttrian Myth of Mythra, btw, that gives us a baby born miraculously, in a cave, on the 25th of December, witnessed only by some shepherds who brought gifts.) In the struggle between the early Church and the esoteric mystery-cults, which proved once and for all that any religion which becomes thwe state will most certainly destroy all its competitors and, at the same time, every vestige of freedom, one of the first to fall before the Church Triumphant was the mystery-cult of Mithra, to which Christianity owes so much. We each choose our own path in life. Your biblical new testament says God will write his laws upon our minds and in our hearts and no man shall teach his brother who is God, all men shall know him. God says I will be to them a God and they will be to Me a people and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. I have spent more time trying to point you my references and since you pay no heed I believe I will waste no more time. Sems the Master Jesus said something about Pearls to.
