Bob if you rate salvation from 0 to 10 Darrin's knowledge of God Is about a 5 and yours stuck on the Jesus myth rates a big fat goose egg. What kind of hallucinating can let you put your hand in the side of non existent human. You will reincarnate in this same ignorance until you learn to accept the gift of God's reason he placed in you and find facts to replace beliefs. Your logic is self fulfilling with false premises and thus true results only in your warped belief. Hiding behind the church and misrepresenting bible as God's word just because brainwashed people believe on faith and fact hardly proves anything to anyone who truly has an open mind to weigh fact against faith. The bible takes true wisdom of the ancients, edits it to control people with fear, having the audacity the make it the word of God under the sword of Rome.

Bob, I hopefully did not indicate in any shape or form that people do not have to be reborn. Indeed they do. The distinction I am drawing here is whether this rebirth 'adds' to an empty soul, or simply activates the Christ within one who by calling upon him, activates it, and expels all that is not. The difference lies in whether all are damned and choose to be saved or damned, or all saved, and can choose to be saved or damned. If an unborn baby has the Grace of God, and shall be called unto him, can you tell me exactly when we lose it, unless we conciously choose damnation? Did not God say that those who do his works without knowing his words are blessed? I take nothing away from the concept of rebirth, it is an extremely important concept. The point I contend is that God is a God of love, and Unity, and not a God of fear and divisiveness. Peace, Darrin P.S. If I were on a deserted island, had no knowledge of the Bible, but was a good and sinless man...
