Jesus is God. And God can do anything. Including making Jesus Vietnamese.
But of course, he'll still look "white"...right?

It has nothing to do with pride. It has to do with how this forum was established by its owner. If you want a christian board, there are some out there. Feel free to go and find them.

Please show us all the information that this revelation came from and what it says - you have absolutely nothing.Straw dog no point in continuing.
You seem to be operating under the impression that Christianity has a copyright on the concept of "Savior?"

I just went back and reviewed posts #1 and 4 and 10, in which the OP lays out what they think this thread is about, and can't find anything that makes it all about Christianity and the Christian Bible (other than a passing reference to "Catholicism" as one of 7 religions to be subsumed under this new prophesy).

The Savior to which you subscribe is neither the first nor the last. Join the club.

I will post one more thing - so what is this Savior going to save us from. In Christianity Jesus finished the job no more is required.Jesus offers eternal life what is this guy going to offer? How do you best that?

I'll say this... you do have a knack for teeing up relevant questions! First we have (with a little judicious editing): "Why do people believe... what the bible says?" Now we have "What is this Savior going to save us from?"

Bingo! I believe that the notion there is something we need "saving" from is a transparently manmade construct. Along with the penalty and reward system of heaven and hell (and the ways we are supposed to get to one place and avoid the other)... and the pretzel-logic of the Trinity... and purgatory and transubstantiation and resurrection... and Satan... and the Garden of Eden... and life-everlasting... and...and...and.

Put another way, YOU get to decide what you need saving from. Just like all the others who came before you. See how that works?

I didn't suggest otherwise. But a poster (not a mod) was jumping all over someone else about the distinction. He seemed to be pretty happy about it.

I'd like to hear more about this "Heavenly Mother". That didn't get clarified.

Not against female elements in the universe though, as with yin / yang, positive / negative, peace / war, etc. Actually there's a third element that always gets missed: neutralizing / balancing. Oh well, carry on...

How about the permissibility of book excerpts? I've already posted one or two in the past, and there didn't seem to be any backlash. I was planning on posting another in the A&A forum in the coming days
