How come they never show the many people who die from regular medicine on the mainstream news?
Why do they always show the few cases of when fairh healing didn't work?
My point is that Faith without doubt has the power to do things which people are being taught is impossible.

To see is to see something, but what? You see an image of light that the bible calls Jesus or the Son of God.
Jesus was a very wise man wasn't he?
Language and its structure is no coincidence. The root languages such as Greek, Hebrew, Latin, etc. all have very precise meaning in them, it is the languages that were built on top of those root languages that obfuscate their true meanings.
If I asked you what "history" meant on a very fundamental level, would you say that it means "to see"? No, history is commonly thought of as what has already happened in the past, what is seen is not in the past, it is right here and right now.
This thing that is playing out before your eyes is history, not the past. It is the wisemans story, your story. This story is in the form of an image off light, the image of God.

Do you believe you have an immortal soul or spirit? So then you'd need to be 'spiritual' in order to tend to that soul and/or spirit? Where do you think those concepts came from? Do you think those are healthy concepts?

I'm not pontificating, only answering questions and giving what I believe are answers. Sorry if it comes off as pontificating, that's not my intent.

I don't know why you feel like this needs to be worked out of my system. It's not harmful is it? It gives me freedom from fear and worry. You seem to be talking "down" to me now. I don't need pity, I am not suffering in any way so I'm not sure why you feel the need to have compassion or pity for me.

I am carrying her just as much as you are brother/sister, though I do not cling to her nor feel the need to hold onto her for any longer than I have to, I am only "carrying" her in the sense that I am in this body right now, as are you. She is only temporary in my eyes, I know where eternity lies, its on my side of the river.

Yes it does, Jesus/image of God/Son of God/light of the world, all labels that describe Jesus in the bible.
I don't know if he existed or not, I don't really think it matters to be honest. What matters are the words and concepts associated with him and attributed to him. I believe he never existed physically and is nothing more than a concept or idea put into the form of a story of a man who lived in the first century.
How have I debunked myself exactly? History means "to see a story", what is seen other than what is within the NOW? Right now is what is seen, it is history unfolding. It's a very simple concept.
It seems as though you are searching for reasons to disagree. Maybe I am wrong there but that is the vibe I have been getting from you so far.
