Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa here, Magnum.
The EsseneS LIVED in Egypt when Jesus went there (with his folks, fleeing the murderous rampage) as a kid.
I copied the above-quoted sentence (from early in your post) because I would like to know your source for this.
I admit I am new to the Jesus-Essene-Buddhist connection, but what I've read so far does not indicate this at all. Please provide sources for your statements.

Why read fairy tales propagated by Islamic apologists and believe them as truth when the truth is in front of your face?

Come over here, I have a nice bridge with no railings. Show me that Faith.
come get a piece a pressed wood pulp with some ink letters on it call it a religious, historical text book, about Egypt, Babylon, science or whatever (all written by man) and?...nevermind
There were just as many non-sense sellers running around back then as now. It was written does not substitute to common sense and reason.
and your writings are? studying some records/information/books/writings of man before today? any faith put into them? common sense??
I Don't buy Jesus as God-----that is blasphemy in most all religions. Jesus can't be the one that designed all the heavenly bodies, made the planets spin. None of that.
how were folks with that same view associated to Jesus? I believe He is an exact representation above any other obviously - "never perish" by an invisible Spirit with a mans audible voice definately has "ABOVE ALL" written all over it very loud and clear , seems like common sense-
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
Colossians1
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Hebrews1
Show Jesus to the world, so everyone sees tangeble person that checks out, or we'll just see it was written as pure nonsense. Intelligenct people don't work on Faith, science will help. No crazy miracles will do.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
1Corinthian7
So, you have you views-----those views I do not share or approve.
There is no way that I will meet you in the middle, or elsewhere.
I am shocked! (it's an old camping with some friends joke- thank God for those Park Rangers)
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him
1Corinthians2
?
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6
Such overstatement, such embellishment of the Prophet, I consider to be bad beliefs. Beliefs that mislead the world, cause serious religious divisions, and cause wars in the End Times.
such bologne! where to start? don't believe everything you read specially when an agenda is obvious -common sense stuff again ya know
You won't see me with any Crosses around me. I'll not be going to a church with too much money, very little common sense, or lost skills for critical thinking. Likewise, I won't be approving of your views either.
edit on 22-3-2012 by MagnumOpus because: Bad Bible nonsense
ok?? this is supposed to mean what? again not a view and again with the shockingedit on 23-3-2012 by Rustami because: (no reason given)
