Everett, Again Re-read Matthew 2:2. No one stated there is no God. There is something. God is as good a name as any. Matthew says King of the Jews not savior of the universe.
If you can, read between the lines. Jesus wasen't punished for his beliefs, well maybe he was. The Romans were in the so- called Holy land to establish Law and Order. The City of Rome got tired of outside forces invading and ransacking Rome so they built Armies and went out into the region in an attempt to stop the pillaging. That is why they were in the Holy Land.
Jesus was, for all practical purposes, a trouble maker, law breaker and rebel rouser, and didn't understand or didn't like the Romans being there so decided to take things into his own hands. No it probably isn't written down anywhere and then maybe it is. Many others suffered the safe fate as Jesus for probably the same reasons. Not religion, law breaking. We today still arrest law breakers and prosocute them.
If Jesus was not let go after going before Pilot, where does the story of Judas pointing Jesus out come from? Well I wasn't there and so maybe I got it wrong. Believe what you want to, he did appoint himself to his whatever. He probably meant well, (Don't we all) but went about it the wrong way.
It has been estimated that Jesus was born under the Astrological Sign of Pisces. Pisces is the 12th Sign of the Zodiac, The sign of un-doing. Jesus certainly un-did himself. A perfect individual wouldn't have suffered that Fate. The Zodiac is divided into 12 signs. Jesus had 12 deciples. Some think he studied with the Astrologers before attempting to be a Prophet. The Wise men were Astrologers.
We are now well into the Age of Aquarius among other things the Age of Enlightment. Jesus was born at the beginning of the Age of Pisces, among other things known as The Dark Ages.
The Planet Uranus ruler of the Sign Aquarius and the Age of Aquarius breaks down the old to make way for the new. Old religous superstitions are being examined more than ever and those that cannot stand the light of day will be dismissed. Uranus also rules electricty and sudden actions. Uranus also is the higher octave of Mercury, Ruler of communications. Uranus rules higher forms of communications such as the Internet.
There is, of course, many opinions, even today about the creditability, of Christanty, inside the instutions, let alone outside of them.
The Age of Pisces and the Sign of Pisces is ruled by the Planet Neptune, among other things fantasy, illusion, deception, self deception. etc. That is why there is so much confusion about Christiany.
Everett, I have no doubt that Jesus realised the folly of his ways as he was about to be nailed to the cross. Can't prove it but have no doubt. What do you suppose were the problems of the day that got Jesus so steamed up, if it was his own that he turned against? After all it seems he didn't like how things were among the people of the Holy Land, not the Romans.
Ladynred, I don't remember anyone mentioning the Big Bang Theory. The 64 dollar question is, How did we all get here? The 64 dollar answer is nobody knows. That doesn't lend one bit of creditability to the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. Actually we are all the Sons of God. E Plurbus Unum.
Some people think the Universe is only 5000 years old. Scientists estimate the Universe is some 13 plus billion years old, at least in it's present age.
If I have to believe one or the other, I will take the 13 billion years.
Some think Mary was a Virgin. Between Mary being a Virgin and the Big Bang Theory, I'll take the Big Bang Theory.
In Astology the Planet Pluto, among other things, digs up the underworld exposing it to the sunlight. For the past several years Pluto has been transiting the sign Sagittarius. Sagittarius rules religion. The exposing of the sex scandals in the Catholic Church among others are a result of Pluto's Transit.
Actually the Planets do nothing, they just indicate what trends are likely to happen.
With the Age of Aquarius there may and will be sudden upsets in Organised Religion. Today there has been in the news attacks on Christmas and Religion. It is merely an examination of the facts and seperating fact from fiction. I could go on but I need to write one more song befor 2008 ends!
