Santiago I do not expect anyone to understand my beliefs. My request was to show you that if you expect others like Mark to read your references you would be willing to do the same. I gave you a choice of two books to read stating either would show others have my belief and how it is grounded. I also stated and will reinforce the statement that if you read either you would understand your bible better than you do now. The articles just posted about the Apostle Paul was to show how Paul was neither an Apostle or knew Jesus the man but preached the Gnostic Christ. It was to show how the Romans under the sword altered his writings and incorporated them in their bible which is not God inspired but Emporor inspired. It was to show you that the Petrine doctrine of a historical Christ was not accepted by the jews because they knew the gnostic Christ and would not buy the Jesus story as historical. I ask you honestly if you changed your concept of the identity of Jesus to the glorious Spirit dwelling in you if that would change your feeling of salvation? Did God barter with mankind in the new covenant and say if you do this or don't do that you qualify? I think not. Did he tell you in that covenant that no man should tell his neighbor who is God? Did he not say "I will write my laws on their minds and in their hearts? Did he not say I will remember their sins and iniquities no more? Did not Paul tell us that we would have the mind of Christ? How then shall we have this mind unless we listen to our hearts where God writes his laws? Why do you persist in telling me Jesus is God. Why do you persist I believe in Jesus rather than the Christ in my mind? Why do people here insist I am the anti-Christ when Paul tells you plainly (as I showed in the Pauline article) that Peter and his church were the anti-Christ? Santiago I sincerely think you are a good honest man trying like most of us to perfect yourself. I am not being critical of you and your beliefs. I truly am sincere when I say truth is my goal. I also acknowledge truth is in the mind of the beholder and only relative in understanding with all known facts. If we allow faith to shut out true facts we are partially blinded. I am the first to admit I do not possess all facts therefore my truth is relative. At the same time I am open to new facts and hope others will explore as well.
