The return of Christ

Sri Oracle.. you might have touched on this elsewhere but I would like clarification.

My question for you:

The Bible states that Jesus is the only way to the One and only God.
Jesus Himself stated this in no uncertain terms.


Do you believe in this ultimate exclusivity? What are your thoughts either way?

Originally posted by InterestedObserver Perhaps somewhere in the world right now a child is breathing life back into a bird. I guess only time will tell.

The year was 2002, I was in the garden behind my home.

The most beautiful, colorful, large-winged butterfly I had seen in a long time was fluttering through the garden. I was consumed in meditation.

I am the butterfly.

I am the garden.

My cat noticed the butterfly and I came to realize she was going to attack and eat it. At first I thought I should stop her; but then I arrived at the decision to let nature be nature.

My cat killed the butterfly; batted it to the ground and bit it hard piercing its exoskeleton; destroying its beautiful wings.

And then it walked away....

I was broken. The butterfly was quite obviously crippled; dead; destroyed. And without cause... simply a play toy for a curious cat.

I stepped over to the butterfly and picked up its lifeless body... I sat on a rock and placed the grey body on my bare knee.

I am the butterfly was my meditation but a moment before... and now it lay dead in my lap.... grey and lifeless.

I was so sadden... I just watched its unmoving body; near tears for a few moments.

I brought my lips together and blew on its lifeless body.

...and the miracle began.

I felt; I saw; I experienced a set of "veins" in the garden... in me... the "veins" appeared purple to me and flowed through all of the garden; all of me.

I brought my lips together again and blew on its lifeless body.

A leg twitched and I felt it hold onto my leg... the purple veins extended from my own leg into the leg of the butterfly.

I brought my lips together again and blew on its suffering body.

Its wings began to.... there is no other way to put it... grow back.

They unfolded from the inflicted wounds. The bite wound on the thorax closed.

I felt this incredible anxiety; almost as if I was being bitten by a poisonous spider...

The butterfly's other legs began to grab hold of my skin... the purple veins flowing from me through it became more fine and branched.

My meditation was deep...

I was a dual entity... part self, part butterfly.... one with the entirety of the garden.

Its wings... now fully back to colour... fully expanded... fluttered once.

I felt this incredible pain in my leg... and I picked up the butterfly with my hand... it felt as if I was pulling out an organ of my own body...

I held the butterfly out in my flat opened hand...

within 30 seconds it flew off... and fluttered out of sight.


I am,

Sri Oracle

To christen thyself is the only true way; to follow in the footsteps of the righteous master. That which you think... so do you become.

To become One with the Almighty; to be Jesus; one must think as Jesus, The Christ.

One must become the Christened One... One must bless themselves and serve only the Ultimate as Jesus did.

Be mindful of the fall of babylon... the twelve tribes...

A name is only a name.

The Tao that can be named is not the true Tao. Tao Te Ching; Chapter 1

"Jesus" is only a translation... a message that you have received in English... because English is your native tongue.... a message that others have received in many other dialects, myths, lores, and languages throughout time. It is a universal message... a message of Sanctity... a message of Love; of Righteousness.... Christened; Krishna.

Sri Oracle

Fair enough. It is true that in "that day" and so on.

You assume I assume. I don't assume, I understand in general and speak in general.

Your peace of charactor shines through, I only wish there were more like you.

When I speak in general people shouldn't take it personally. Maybe I need to find a way to express this more clear. I've adopted such statements as "YOU" to mean the collective you, but I'm guessing that's not working so well...

True "Chirst followers" are more a rare event in "Christianity" then should be. This is one reason so many people reject the "truth" within christianity teachings outright because the religion based upon the life of the christ is filled with more "Christ Stains" then christians.

Let's just assume I have no rite to say such a thing, well then it's clear by the droves of people lining up to reject the foolish mythology of the christ-stains lies and less then par understandings.

I only wish such a title as a "christian" was some how regulated in this phyical realm as it is in the spiritual realms. Because the christ stains that are really more non or anti in their christian understandings fowel up a beautiful thing as the true teachings of Our creator God and the christ of God.

Actually I am a loving person, but I hate nonsense and pushers of agendas.

I like down to earth arguments, and I don't waste my time with narrow minded opinions and one line of thinking subjects.

As you see the original OP has been lost on the second page.

Nice to meet you my friend.

Am I the wheat grass when I hold its seed in my hand?
Am I the wheat grass as it bends beneath my feet?
Am I the wheat grass when I harvest its grain?
Am I the wheat grass when I mill the grain to flour?
Am I the wheat grass when I turn the flour to dough?
Am I the wheat grass when I turn the dough to bread?
Am I the wheat grass when I eat the bread?


Is there any wheat at all?

or is all God?

I am the nameless...

I am,

Sri Oracle

thx you Cuhail !!

I don't really get the point of this thread. You say that you aren't religious, but, just for the sake of argument, what if...sigh...Jesus returned.
Just to discredit religion? THAT'S your aim with this?

So, you just want to argue. Yeah, well that's not reallly what we do here and if you've actually read some threads here, I think you'd see that. We don't argue for the sake of arguing, we present our facts or queries and discuss them.
It's MY opinion you are looking to pick a fight for grins and giggles. That's considered Trollish behavior here.
The question you ask has no answer that will satisfy you except complete agreement. You're not asking because you really want to know what people think, you just want to bash those with faith, IMO.

We'll see and if it starts going south, the thread will be ended.

Pardon our dust as we remodel. One who seeks has not yet found...

When the wild stallion first comes to the cowboy, he stands out from the herd.

There are many new sheep in the shepherd's flock.

Patience with, and Compassion for, the weak are virtues.

When one labels a disabled child "disabled", it helps to permanently ingrain the disability pattern.

No one is sick; though everyone is becoming better.

Sorry about raining on your parade, but, there is another possible explaination.
It comes from actual experiences of a friend of mine, that he had out, on the highway.
Lets say years ago a family decided it would be really neat to do a living depiction of the manger, for Christmas time.
Some idiot got so involved at looking at it, he ended up driving right into it, killing them all.
So every year, their ghosts appear, hoping that passerbyers would be so distracted by the sight they would crash their car and die, thus getting even.

could have been, but either way it was an out of this world experience that I'll never forget.

Can y ou sense there is love sorrunding people who seek truth and those who dont are full of hate. do you feel loved?

I just want to put my vote in for keeping this thread opened it has attracted so many D bags that just maybe it'l keep their attention here and no where important. I am refferring to all the would be angels and sons of god.
I feel jesus and angels are non condescending.

Are you saying that the return of christ is not important? I just wanted to be clear of what your opinion is.

Nobody would believe him, anthropology tells us CONCLUSIVELY that Jesus (if real) was black or Arab. But religion keeps throwing him around as a white boy

Here is what is going to happen with some degree of timing differences and sequences. There is a WWIII planned, and designed to kill off about 1/3 of the Earths population. There is another plan being implemented jointly with this one called NSSM 200 by Kissinger and Haig. Nevertheless, there will be a Rapture of souls that have taken Jesus Christ as their savior. This will cause a great disturbance as one can only imagine. A war will happen and one man from the organization of nations will emerge. This one leader will bring peace to the world by negotiation and new ideas. He will be known as a great leader who will in a short time declare himself to be God. Once he declares himself to be God, the verichip will be put into play, all those left on Earth will be force to worship Lucifer including the Atheist or die. This will go on for about 7 years, 3.5 what will clearly be the worse this world has ever seen. The Catholic Church and evangelicals will lead their "flocks" into believing that this anti-christ is Actually the returning God. Many will receive a great deception and then the tribulations will start. At the end of the 3.5 years, the real Jesus Will return in a supernatural way and not on some spacecraft as this nutwings are thinking. He will bring real peace on the earth for 1,000 years until the final judgment. Now, this is the short of it, but it is what will happen.

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words (Proverbs 23:6-8)

Having read within this thread, the musings of the angel and then, so it appears, a god, I couldn’t help but be mindful of these wise words where the likes are concerned.

Jesus was a Jew, born into the family from the lineage of David of the old Testament. Therefore, he was not Arab or African. He was definitely Jewish.
