I was under the impression that in the Bible, Jesus didn't come out of the tomb and immediately start running around performing miracles. He did all those BEFORE he was crucified.

(933 posts)Theres piles of cash to make trash like this but nothing for single mothers or inner city kids, for a secular education. Wheres the job retraining money in the face of rising automation?

(22,461 posts)Gospel. There more than likely was a man...I don't know if his name was Jesus or James or what...who was a powerful psychic and capable of projection into different realities. He learned there and passed on what he learned. In order for a soul to travel from world to world, it has to be highly evolved. His followers knew this and respected his instruction that the knowledge he gave them was not for public dissemination...anyway, mystery religions existed then and those secrets were protected. Paul calls his religion a mystery. But his followers wanted his knowledge to live, so they wrote the most incredible...to my mind...teaching tools ever accomplished. The main story line is that a perfect soul traveled hither and yon working miracles (symbols to be interpreted) and teaching in parables (his secret truths). The symbols and secrets were known to the initiated (the mature, adults) but not to the children, until the elders saw promise. The elders resided in Jerusalem and were supported by the various communities, sending out experts from there. They did not call themselves Christians, but the Poor, Nazoreans, the Way, and others, I suppose. The plan discombobulated. The Temple Jews became jealous or leery of James, the central leader. Two Jewish wars destroyed Jerusalem. Some knowing ones hung around Jerusalem. Eventually, they were called Gnostics and declared heretics by Rome. Over time, the Gnostics formed different sects, but the central truths remained. They differed chiefly in their interpretations of the levels of the spiritual universe...how things got from the big bang, so to speak, to life on planet earth. They thought big, unlike what I call the Simples of today: believe in Jesus and all your sins will be forgiven and you get a pass to either limbo or heaven...an ungospel untruth.
So....I won't be going to Passion, Pt. Deux!

(20,131 posts)not Jews. Nevertheless, if your savior HAD TO DIE in order to be resurrected, I would think they would be grateful to whoever was responsible.
