Jesus, echoing the Revelations received by Isaiah, Daniel and Ezekiel, teaching the Doctrine of “resurrection” as a Doctrine of ‘Rebirth’.
(even Wikipedia is involved); the reason being the significant threat that such a Doctrine would pose to the multi-billion dollar economic interests of Judaeo-Christianity, Inc.
To begin with, Jesus taught that John the Baptist was “the Elijah who was to come” (the Gospel of Matthew 11:14), thus implying the Doctrine of “resurrection” as a Doctrine of ‘Rebirth’;
Chapter 27:52-53 of the Gospel of Matthew being a very clear metaphorical description of the revelation of the memories of previous lives.
The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
For which reason he murdered the original followers of Jesus who had either received the revelation of the memories of previous lives or who taught the Doctrine of “resurrection” as a Doctrine of ‘Rebirth’.
So Paul, the Pharisee, and apostle of the Gentiles, had no choice: he had to concoct an alternate ‘explanation’ for the crucifixion; for which he pounced upon the gruesome, blood-thirsty pagan doctrine of “vicarious atonement for the sins of all men”; a doctrine which, of course, required that Jesus be ‘God'

He was executed because he revealed their hypocritical application of the law.
They feared that he would lead a popular revolt. All well documented history, as much the "story of Jesus" as the historical setting, including the expectations of a "messiah".

Of course, you gnostics only arrived 100 plus years after, with your "dualism/nondualism" isms and hidden truths, (which Jesus knew but didn't share), and gnosis, and stuff.

Saying # 11: "...on the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two what will you do?"
Jesus himself could fly out of the sky on a white horse; turn water into wine; multiply loaves and fishes; heal the sick and raise the dead; walk on water; Prophesy the future...
And, then, out of the billions of people on this planet, he could walk up to you personally and say "The Doctrine of "resurrection" is a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'...

Come on, Michael, you've gotta admit that this sounds like a line from Dr. Seuss, eh?
On the contrary, if Christ himself told me that this was true, I'd accept it. That's easy to say, because I know that it would never happen.

Thanks, I needed that. A little humor is a good thing.
But what was being addressed is the whole issue of the differentiation of the 'fallen' consciousness from the consciousness Created by God; the consciousness Created by God being a consciousness of Oneness, the 'fallen' consciousness being the consciousness of Duality or Twoness.
On the contrary, if Christ himself told me that this was true, I'd accept it. That's easy to say, because I know that it would never happen.
Just my point.
You believe what the religious 'authorities' have told you under the assumption that the messiah will NEVER tell you anything different; which, of course, means not only that the religious 'authorities' are the messiah; but, because you believe what they say, you are Omniscient; being capable of Prophesying the future.

Well, even a stopped clock is right twice each day.
And here I agree with you.
There is no logic to Revelations at all.
Originally posted by adjensen I presume that your belief is that the soul is eternal (as opposed to everlasting,) so is it your claim that, at one time, I had a soul that was simply that, and, at the fall of Adam, my soul became two -- a part in harmony with God, and a part in opposition to him?
If he told me that, I would accept it, period.
If I am demonstrated to be incorrect, I accept it and move on.

I say something that is Knowledge; and, IMMEDIATELY, your response is to replace the words I say with the doctrines of metaphysical philosophy; doctrines originating in the 'fallen' consciousness.
And according to the Quran, the Creator is the ONLY "Eternally Existent".
If he told me that, I would accept it, period.
NO YOU WOULDN'T.
He already told you that John was Elijah; and you do NOT believe that.
If I am demonstrated to be incorrect, I accept it and move on.
Yeah, sure.
Just ONE caveat: You will NEVER be demonstrated to be incorrect, so you won't HAVE to "move on".

No, he didn't. He said John was THE Elijah.

I rest my case.
You do not understand the plain meaning of words.
Do you 'think' Jesus spoke English?

I am not going to address any one of dozens of issues ("their name is legion") distracting from the one fundamental fact I brought out in my original note to this thread:
The reason for the crucifixion is being censored by both the Jewish and the Christian religious 'authorities' who would simply loose too much money were the Truth about the Doctrine of "resurrection" as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth' to be made known.
