Also see Genesis it says that God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve? Note that God's spirit leaves when mankind does not want to listen! Romans 1:26-27,32 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Why can't an enlightened soul be just that... one person that made it! And whose life should be used as an example for us to follow and emulate. Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu left their examples and words for us to follow i.e. Jesus said, "These things yea shall do and more." Lao Tzu said, "In the center of your being you know all the answers; who you are and what you want". Why make them God or gods or politicans? Those stories are comical.

]]> Comment on Jesus the Child-killing Dragon-tamer? by Linton George http://blog.themonastery.org/2011/01/jesus-the-child-killing-dragon-tamer/#comment-376 Linton George Thu, 03 Feb 2011 17:47:02 +0000 http://blog.themonastery.org/?p=1031#comment-376 Can anyone tell me who Jesus’s Mother in Heaven was before the 11 year-old Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Ghost? According to the infallible Bible, there is a monotheist in heaven that consist of a triune God, namely Father, Son and Holy Ghost….mind you I would swear this seem like three Gods and therefore polytheist. Nevertheless apart from the fact that no one ever pray to the Holy Ghost- only to God and Jesus- there is no history of a Mother of Jesus. Should we assume that God may be in fact a woman, seeing that it was the Holy Ghost that impregnates the 11 years Mary? One of the Triune God must necessarily be a woman, if not then who and where is Jesus’s first Mom. Imagine, it is written in the Holy Book, that a Deity descended from Heaven, forced himself upon a child against the objection of her fiancé, committed incest, fornication with a minor and what seems to be rape to save our wretched souls from his future wrath and vengeance for Adam & Eve having stolen one of his apple of His farm!. Now if God be the father of Jesus and Mary is His mother then who is Mary to God. His common-law- wife, concubine, or just His baby mother? But it gets worse, Jesus being the biological Son of God, a member of the Trinity and in fact a Deity, must in fact be immortal. Since the immortal cannot die, was the crucifixion a hoax? Also did Jesus and God , the all-knowing Deity not know ahead of times that Jesus –the immortal- could not die and would appear again on the third day- what then was the purpose of the long whining in the Garden prior to His arrest? “Behold the man has eaten of the fruit and has become like one of us, now keep him out of the garden less he eat of the Tree of Life and live forever” or words to that effect. In short, created man is mortal; deities are immortal-end of story. One more thing, is not an oxymoron to say that God is a God of unconditional love and yet later we read how His fickle, given to fits of rage, egotism, prejudice, acquiesce all manner of immoral and murderous acts of his chosen people, in fact He even have Joshua, the war criminal, commanded a sun- that does move- to stand still so that more women, men, children and animals could be wiped out in his Holy name. To this day the His earthly Holy servants do not understand the commanding the sun to stand still has absolutely no effect on the length of day nor night. So God the creator did not know that it is the rotation of the earth on its axis that created day and night. They even continue that we should give or render our hearts to the Lord….why not our other organs such as our livers, kidneys, spleens and better yet our eyes. Believe me, religion is merely a vehicle to instill fear into the minds of the masses and have no place in the realms of logical reasoning.More anon. Rev.
