Our Existence

We have King James' era artists to thank for Jesus' caucasian portrait. And Kind James could very well have changed some stuff around. Although I doubt it, there would be less contradictions between the Old and New Testaments if he had done so.

So do you forgo clothes made of wool and linen mixed together? Or is that just a "metaphor"?

That was Old Testament ceremonial law. It has nothing to do with the modern day. Jesus fulfilled the law. We are not subject to it any longer. Yes, we don't know what sin is but by the law, but as Christians we are free from the law. It is also why we can freely eat shellfish, pork, and other things the Old Testament labeled as "unclean" (they were mostly bottom-feeder animals. You are what you eat)

This is Philosophy, Not Religion... There is a reason there is a Philosophy Thread and a Religion Thread. If this was about 'What does the Bible say about..' then feel free to point us to the right passage.

This is outside the Idea of The Bible... The topic itself says nothing about the bible. The topic asks two questions which obviously divert from the 'Path' of the Bible.

MY philosophy comes from the Bible. So I don't see any problem with using the Bible to speak about my "philosophy" as it regards to this topic. See my last post as to why that is. It has the three main points of a philosophical idea. Philosophy isn't "non-religion", it's an opinion on the workings of the universe... which God made, btw (Genesis 1) 😉

Also on a personal note I find the bible itself hard to believe. Not the Religion, just the bible. Because it wasnt said that God himself took pen to paper and wrote this stuff down. Man got the word and wrote it himself. But man, however, is corrupt and had the power and oppritunity to change it however they wanted.

Ever heard of automatic writing? It's a very similar process. The only difference? Automatic writing, which has spawned Twilight, Stairway to Heaven, H.P. Blavatsky's numerous books, etc. is channeled through demonic entities rather than God.

Also I find it humerous that many people in this religion say that Jesus was a White man with long brown hair. The man was a Middle Eastern Jew with brown skin and a turban. It is not a large leap to go from changing what he looks like to adhere to mans way of thinking, to changing some words in a book.

Who said Jesus was Caucasian? Or had long hair? That whole "hippie Jesus" depiction came from the Roman Catholic Church, not the Bible. The Bible actually says it's a shame for a man to have long hair. He was an Israelite, and that's what He looked like.

So your saying that if you read Twilight, Stairway to Heaven, etc, you are in support of Satan since it was channled through demonic entities? Are you the type who wont let his kids play Pokemon because the creatures look like devils? Or condem a gay person? If we are all made in 'Gods' image and half of us are gay dont you think 'God' may be a bit Bi-Curious?

I have nothing against other religions but when people talk about books or other things being 'Demonic' I just have to feel sorry for them. And books are not 'Spawned' they are written. There is a reason these books are under 'Fiction'.

And it doesnt matter where a book is 'Channeled' from, if it is at all. A person can still change it to be what ever he wants it to be. For all we know Jesus was a woman and because MAN didnt like that idea they made her a he. We dont know. None of us were alive at the time and all we can do is take the word of a book that was written before we were a sparkle of a sparkle of a sparkle in our ancestors eye. That is why I do not trust the 'Bible'. It could of been changed over the many hundreds of years to fit the Perfect idea of MAN!

And you answered your own question about the 'Hippie Jesus'. Romans.
