Chris we all know your blind faith in the bible as you are able to understand it. But that appears to be your problem. Instead of being so adamant of others beliefs and knowledge. Why not sneak and look into some facts that may ring true to you. To properly interpret the bible you need to know the style and methods of writing at the time it was happening. A study of Mythology and its astrological connections would do much to help you enlighten and strengthen your beliefs. Here is an example of myth and its biblical version: The story of the devil tempting Jesus on the mountain is originally a legend of the astronomical mythos which in common with many others has been converted into "history." As legend it is explainable by by means of Egyptian wisdom.As history it is of course, miraculous, if nothing else. Satan and Jesus are the representations of Sut & Horus, the contending twins of darkness & light, of drought & fertility, who strove for supremacy in the various phenomena of external nature, and in several celestial localities belonging to the mythology.In the Ritual for the dead (ch:110) the struggle is described as taking place upon the mount, that is "the mountain in the middle of the earth," or the mountain of Amenta, "which reaches up to the sky," and which is in the solar mythos stood at the point of equinox where the conflict was continued and the twins were reconciled year after year. The equinox was figured at the summit of the mount upon the ecliptic, and the scene of strife was finally configurated as a fixture in the constellation of Gemini, the sign of the twin brothers who forever fought and wrestled up and down the garden," first one and then the other being uppermost during the two halves of the year, or of night and day. The mountain of the equinox "in the midst of the earth" joined the portion of Sut to the portion of Horus at this point midway betwixt the north & south. It was on the mount of the equinox and only there the twins were reconcile for the time being by the star-god Shu (Ritual CH:110) or by the earth-god Seb. Sut the satanic is described as seizing the good Horus in the desert of Amenta and carrying him to the top of the mount here called Mt.Hetep, the place of peace, where the two contending powers are reconciled by Shu, according to the treaty made by Seb. Thus episode after episode, the Gospel history can and will be traced to the original documents as matter of the Egyptian Mysteries and astronomical mythology.

Chris, "You don't have to believe everything I say but if I could convince you that the Lord Jesus is truly the one and only way to salvation would you care to listen?" I have been. I've been listening to all on the board. My understanding of Christ is not the fundamentalist one. There is only one true Lord over all believers. His disciples are not defined by the name they choose to call him. Jesus would tell the fishermen to cast the net a little wider. ; ) Peace, Darrin
