I love how people write " according to the bible" or they refer to some scripture as if it is verifying a fact. You will not find god in between the covers of a book. Think for yourself, god gave you a brain, use it, your all blind sheep.
It is ironic that you have become the very thing The Christ would be against. He wasn't trying to create a system to heaven, but empowering his followers to think for themselves, and close the gap between humanity and the almighty.
did he not say things like, " I am the son of god, ye are my brothers and sister, these things and more shall you do " ?? did the disciples ever worship him ?? he tried to live by example, .... perhaps the truth he spoke about was the truth .... but only the truth that the people of the time could understand, .... that was over 2000 years ago.
Wake up, forget everything you know, lose yourself and create it again.
Yet I wonder, how the world looks from the vantage point of inside a box ??? Yet my words will be unheaded, and the point lost, I suppose you will be ready, .... when your ready.
I just find it unfortunate that god is seen through such narrow eyes. God is more infinate and eternal than most of you can imagine. Yet you would not know him if you passed him on the street.

With all due respect, whenever I see a thread that states that there is only one way to achieve a desired goal be it Islam, Christianity, or the local voodoo-doctor, I always come up with the same result; hell is going to be a pretty crowded place.
My own personal beliefs are just that, personal. I've been around for quite a few haircuts and I have settled on an understanding that makes sense to me and gives me great comfort. I don't deny anyone else their beliefs but I do know that the path I have chosen is the one that I was meant to find and I don't have to pick any one specific day to acknowledge my understanding, its always there.
That, and I have found Mapquest to be quite handy in finding your "way".

I disagree.
I do agree that it's wrong to worship Jesus, he's just a messenger from the Father of how we can maintain contact with Him. Jesus was not trying to establish a 'system' to get into Heaven, system = religion. He was trying to show that LIFE is the system in which one uses to get into heaven.
I don't believe Jesus was misguided into believing he was the Christ. I believe he WAS the Christ. The division that happened despite his message is just something that's bound to happen to humanity. He wasn't trying to separate them by any means. He was trying to pull them all together. Instead, man again exercises that thing we love so much, free will, to divide and conquer. Differing views and extremism to the point of segregation and hatred has and will always be a staple of humanity, whether large or small scale.

The Divine One does not care of what you do, you are not damned to "hell" for eternity for sins, you simply get what you put out kharma kharma kharma, it's on a personal level do not let human intervention (Jesus) get between you and the Divine.

Silly Pagan... Jesus was born around May 5th. The church merely stole the Pagan holiday of Yule (and the tree) as a convenient date because it was easier to convert people on an existing holiday than to kill one and start a new one
That is common knowledge even amongst most studied Christians
Besides at the time of Jesus it was not that cold in the area. Most people, wore very light clothing. Have you ever seen the Greeks, Egyptians Israelites and Roman wear heavy winter coats (unless they went to war in cold climate)
PS A blue robe would be an affront to a true Druid

I notice in one of your posts you claim the Jesus was in fact not the Christ, but there is another Christ, one no one seems to know about popularly and you promote.... and as for saying the bible is fabricated, many things written in there have come to pass or prophesized so i say that your belief system is in fact the one that is fabricated, and poorly at that. but in the same breath you claim not to let man get between you and and "the divine one" and claim of another Christ, again that I have never heard of, is the one you follow? I do agree the what goes around comes around, Jesus came to forgive sin and die for man's sins, so they may be forgiven and they enter the kingdom of God, however, he said that he was never coming back himself, instead, The Holy Spirit is coming back, to convict of Sin and of Ritchousness. so seeing you have rejected the true gift of being forgiven, I do pity you for when you are convicted.
