[/quote] Acts Of Apostles 20:28 Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Catholic Church http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popes Matthew 16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Psalms 21:23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. Romans 10: [11] For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded. [12] For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. [14] How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things! [16] But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report? [17] Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ. [18] But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world. Osee (Hosea) 4:4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest. Acts Of Apostles 14:22 And when they had ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed. Matthew 18:17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. :pope::pope::pope: [/quote] So you honestly believe that The creator of everything in the universe had to incarnate as a human being in order to open the pathway to heaven, relieve humanities sins and defeat a being he created? By saying yes you are saying that duality exists in the heavenly/godly realms of the universe. If duality exists in the higher realms that means good and evil will both still exist... Show me one piece of verifiable evidence that a man named JESUS CHRIST walked the earth and performed miracles. We all have eternal life my friend, not just a select group of people who are gullible enough to fall for ancient brainwashing. In reality everything just is my friend, god is everything, we are nothing but gods eternal consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. I see and talk to god every day. I have seen the Christ consciousness during my trips to the astral plane. The biblical scripture is meant to be taken metaphorically by those in the know. We laugh at your poor fools who have been tricked into the literal translation. [/quote]
